Alternatives to the Dodge Caravan

[Reader Questions]

My husband and I had been very interested in purchasing a Dodge Caravan because they were so versatile in being able to use them to sleep in, transport bikes in etc. However when we looked at the consumer reports it would seem that they don't check out as a good reliable vehicle. We are wondering if you could direct us to another option that is still a more affordable one but where we had those features.

Thank you.

There are many vehicles that would do the job just fine, but I would suggest the Honda Element. Sure it has a look of its own, but it was conceived for people with an active lifestyle, as you seem to be. Moreover, the urethane-coated floor is easy to clean, therefore great for transporting bikes and other stuff that may get dirty. The Element is available as a 2 or 4 wheel drive.
