Caravan vs. Volvo 200

posted by  someone claiming to be art on  Wed Jul 7 05:13 CST 2004 [RELATED]

I think I know what you're saying - although ours was an 87, not a 97. It was the last holdout non-volvo around here for a couple years until it became so neglected field mice began to call the engine compartment home. Every other Caravan owner is amazed we had no transmission trouble, though aren't fazed that I had the heads off twice (3.0) in 190K. Basically, after acquiring the 240 fleet, the Caravan, though a nicely kept velour interior, became the Saturday dump trip vehicle - subbing for the usual pickup. Left those ball breaking removable seats at one of the first runs. But, even on its trip to donation it fired up smoothly first crank, leaping forward easily if needed. Fun to drive? No. We all felt a bit close to the nose.
