Heck, there are about as many variations of the original mini van as there are flavors of ice cream. And therein lies the dilemma. How much sleep do you really need the night before you head to the Dodge dealership? It's much easier to decipher the models once you realize that the chief difference between the Caravan and Grand Caravan is the distance between the front and rear wheels -there's more of it in the Grand Caravan. Stroll into the showroom and be greeted by three short wheebase models and eight long-wheclbase versions, including three that come with all-whecl-drive. With that kind of variety and the availability of three engines, it's no wonder Chrysler owns 42 per cent of the minivan market. Base power comes from a 3.0-litre SOHC V6 that makes 150 horsepower. At the top end of the scale is a 3.8-OHV V6 good for 30 more. All Caravans come with air conditioning, roof rack, cassette stereo, power door locks and seven-passenger seating. The driver’s-side sliding door is standard on all Caravans, except for the base. Suffice to say, if you want it, it most likely lies within Caravan's unit-body construction. Like we said, get a good night's sleep.

Canada is a cold country in winter. When the first severe cold wave arrives, you may discover that your faithful old battery no longer has the power to get your car started. A battery’s output decreases as temperature drops, so a battery that was doing its job during the warm summer months, may only have half its output when the thermometer dips below freezing. Meanwhile, your cold engine may need twice the starting power. If your car is hard to start because of a weak battery, you should consider replacing it before it lets you down. When buying a battery you’ll be selecting from among several within the size range that fits your car. In addition to the price, there are other factors which you should consider when buying your battery: cold cranking amps (explained below), reserve capacity and length and type of warranty. Cold cranking amps refers to the engine starting (cranking) output at -17° C for 30 seconds. A starter may draw 400 amps, so at -17° C it would not take long on a cold Canadian winter morning to drain a battery rated at 300 cold cranking amps. Reserve capacity refers to the length of time the battery will hold up without recharging. This usually is expressed in amperes of output per so many minutes. When comparing battery specifications, you should compare output and reserve on the same amperage per time basis. Typically, the reserve capacity rating will refer to the amount of time a battery can produce 26 amps at 27° C.
