2012 Dodge Caravan
Plus's; $19.500 (or less) new, plus tag and tax, 23 MPG Highway, folding seats makes for the largest usable space among popular vans
Minus's; five huge doors compromise structural integrity resulting in squeaks and rattles, no compass, non-locking fuel filler door (minor gripes, but come on Chrysler it's $10.00 in extra build expense.)
