1999 Dodge Grand Caravan Review: Interior

Head and legroom are quite sufficient, in both the front bucket seats and the second-row seats. Clearance between the second-row seats-and between the passenger's side seat and the sliding door--is sufficient as long as you're not of nose-tackle proportions. And although Dodge says the Grand Caravan's rear bench can seat three, one of them would have to be a child.

The Grand Caravan ES is extremely spacious - particularly after the seats are removed. Removing the seats required a yeoman effort in years past, but it's much easier now. The center-row bucket seats can be unlatched and removed via the sliding side doors, while a solid yank on a lever pops the third-row bench seat up onto a set of wheels, allowing it to be rolled backwards and removed via the tailgate. However, it's still a two-person job as those seats are heavy. For smaller loads, the seat backs can also be folded down -- affording enough room for the proverbial sheet of plywood.
