In my own personal experience, I would take the 3.3 over the 2.4 in the '05 Caravan. Fuel economy is rated the same, and there wasn't very much difference in the "fun to drive" department between the two.
In short, no. As I recall the EPA ratings for the 4 cylinder were pretty much the same as the V6's.Stephen said:The 3.3 GVLE is up for replacement and I’m thinking of a used 2005-ish van with a four cylinder and my big question is, do I give up a lot to have the four and will there be a noticeable improvement in fuel economy with it? My old 3.0 averaged about 24 MPG, the 3.3 ranges from 18-24. I would not mind a moderate downside to the four, but would want better mileage in compensation. Too much to ask?
What I’d really like is a Turbo Caravan or Voyager but they are getting hard to find around here (Virginia).
Thanks in advance!
