Bought this van used, 12 yo with 77k miles to replace a 1999 that hit a deer. Love it so much that it gets picked to commute from Missouri to Florida since it holds so much and wife is a packrat. On the highway I get a honest 23 mpg at 70mph. Will eventually trade for the Stow n Go but until then will drive the wheels off. Old T&C had 180k and was still going strong.

Poor MPG

Very comfortable with everything needed at your fingertips. However, unless you have money to waste, don't purchase. The MPG is horrendous! I have had this van for a little over a month and I'm already looking to trade it in! I cringe every time I have to drive it. At one point in time I was receiving 6 MPG and this was with a tune up.

Wife loves it, mechanicals are good

Bought at 150K mi, currently 195K. Top of line w/ features I would never pay for new. AWD and about the last year that was offered. Engine is dependable pushrod type and still like new. Only major problem was a cracked flex-plate, requiring transmission removal, so I rebuilt the tranny. It was perfect inside w/ <2 mil wear on all clutch plates. Maybe rebuilt before, though no sticker. Engine wiring was degraded near exhaust. Common high-end problems - erratic electric doors, auto-temp blower "resistor" failed, CD changer flashes, power steering cooler hoses leaked (dealer-installed tow package), heated seats stopped, TPMS dings bother messages and not paying $50/wheel to change batteries every 5 years. Edmunds pinged me for an update (Mar 2016). Now 215K miles. CD changer fixed - paper label stuck inside, power steering pump (Toyota type) has leaked several times at fitting and at split body and is very hard to access, changed all coolant hoses to silicone and waterless coolant so hopefully no more corrosion, rear valve cover has leaked several times, and I see oil again but could be from timing cover (much tougher job). Edmunds wants an update again (Sep 2016). Van still looks great at 16 yrs and 229K miles. See http://forum.chryslerminivan.net for the best info on fixing common problems. All 2002-04 V-6 suffer a melted fuel injector harness, that is an easy fix. The V-6 engines and transmissions have proven very reliable. Smart to buy a silver one so that as the clear-coat fails, it won't look horrid like the darker vehicles you see in parking lots, esp. here in sunny CA.

Nice.. untill it falls apart!

You would think if you serviced you vehicle on time every time it would last..not so with this van. Sliding doors broke,arm rests fell off,power steering hose kept breaking almost wrecked on interstate,heated seats stop working,ate through brakes and rotors,tires costantly,shocks went bad,poor gas mileage,I kept taking it back to the dealer they would reset this reset that. transmission needed replaced at 109,000.

I have had this van for 8 years. Everything is still original, less tires, water pump, and tune-ups. It has 230,000 miles on it. Does NOT use oil, and still runs perfectly. I am purchasing another Chrysler van next year if I can allow myself to sell this one. I read the reviews above and concluded the vans were abused and not taken care of. I know of two other people who also have this van, and they LOVE them. These vans are used by N.Y.C. Taxis, and other companies as fleet vehicles because they are so dependable. Med Van, has 300 of them and use them as transport vehicles for patients. thus, very dependable.

We bought the van as an extra family spare. It is fun to drive and spacious enough to accommodate 6 adults on a 3 hour trip without any complaints. The van is usually driven around town to run errands and I enjoy driving it to work as much as my SUV. The van has 120,000 miles and you can't hear the engine run and it is quiet on the road. The left side automatic door doesn't operate but besides that we haven't had any problems. One of the best car purchases I've ever made.

This van is not your answer!

The brakes last 6 months at best but the rotors have to replaced because they are thin and cheaply made and warp so bad they cause the vehicle to shake violently in the front end during braking. The suspension mainly the front is light weight flimsy steal and all the components fail because this is a very heavy vehicle with light duty junk parts. The windows will not work due to shorting out and you guessed it cheap window motors made in some third world country. Tires are destroyed by this vehicles poor suspension. Try a set a year! The rubber seals around the windows will work loose and fly off down the road. You will pay dearly for gas! The motor is loud and rattles.

Obviously seeing these reviews indicates significant quality control issues. We purchased vehicle new and things went well for the first year. From time to time, noticed issues with one of the rear doors not closing with the electronic motor, but everything has gone down since then. 15 days after warranty expired, had to replace the spark plugs and wires. Constant power drain led to replacing 2 computers. rear doors do not close reliably. rear door locks do not work. Transmission issues Passenger map light has melted. Starting issues, Interior has started falling apart The only thing worse than the car is the local dealer service department. DO NOT BUY!

204K Miles and still going!

We bought this car used a few years ago just as a second car until we paid off our other one. WOW! It had 175,000 miles on it but we were okay with that. It now has 204K miles and it's still going. I have never seen any other US car still drive with that many miles. We did have to replace the brakes twice and the A/C went out twice but I can't complain. We made a 13 hour drive for vacation in it with no problems. It's very comfortable and was well worth the $2,000 paid. We definitely got our money's worth.

This has been a great family vehicle for us. We've done regular maintenance and have had NO major repairs at all. We're over 100,000 now and still going strong. We were going to trade in before 100K but decided it was in too good of shape to let go of. Still drives really good and look great too!

Bought the van used with 30,000 miles on it. Great car! Comfortable, fuel efficient, 18 in town, 23-25 mpg on highway. 107,000 miles on it now. Lately, it's needing few repairs, but up until the last six months, almost no unexpected upkeep. Considering a new vehicle, but this one performs so well, I can't find anything else I want. After reading all these reviews, I feel really lucky to have gotten a great van.

wish me luck!

okay so i just inherited this vehicle, had 110k miles on it and was trashed. With a little tlc and a basic tune-up, along with a k&n drop-in air filter it's running like a top! I'm getting 20mpg in town and it feels solid as can be. It had a busted power window which i had fixed and the turn signal switch had to be replaced, but otherwise everything works like new. I don't know much about it's history and how well it was taken care of, but I'm hoping I can get another 50 or 60 k out of it before anything major breaks down.

186,000 + miles and no major problems

We bought our van new in Nov. 2001. It is the best vehicle we've ever owned. We get 35-40 mpg on the highway, less in city traffic. Avg. about 25 mpg overall. We have over 186,000 miles on our van and have only had a couple of problems. The motor on the sliding door quit at 125,000 mi, nice feature but we didn't feel we needed to replace it so had it disconnected. Low speeds on blower fan quit, just had that fixed. Take the seats out and you can get a whole dorm room or small apartment packed in it.

We bought this van because it has lots of pickup with a 3.8L engine and was fun to drive with lots of room. We often fill it up with stuff for the lake trip to our cabin. The leather seats and great visibility for any size driver are great.This car has lots of miles on it and we have never had a major problem with it. It is in contrast to my Suv which lost air conditioning with high mileage and age.

Bought van with 6,000 miles, nearly new. Have gone long-distance cross country with family of 5 w/ lots of luggage with comfort, and MANY miles in town as the family/team taxi. Great visibility. Holds 7 with field hockey gear-even goalie bag!Still gets 23 mpg on hilly highway and 20 mpg in town at 108,000 miles! One sliding door motor replaced under standard warranty, new torque converter at 83,000 miles; otherwise normal wear and tear items only. EASY to drive, and to park considering its length. Previously owned a GMC conversion van and this one is so much easier to drive, much more like a car but hauls sofas and dressers, too! Seats cumbersome to remove/store when hauling space needed.

This has been a great van, were going to trade it in on a new van, but have decided to keep this one a while longer. We have maintained as anyone should, and it has taken care of us as well. Did have one condenser replaced along with switch in the dash, along with a minor transmission leak that was covered under warranty. Just returned from a 4500 mile trip and averaged 21.7 mpg, driving around 67 mph.

This was my 2nd Chrysler van and will buy another one in the next few days. It has withstood anything kids and adults could do to it and showed little wear. We have driven long distances with great comfort. Has withstood 96K miles with minor problems that could happen to any vehicle. We did have to replace the driver window motor once. Safety wise it's great as it was rear ended (totaled) by a semi traveling at high speed on a freeway and my 3 grandkids and I walked away without serious injury.

Wouldn't buy this car again

Had a '98 Town & Country and was dumb enough to get a 2002 thinking in would be better. Both vans had odor problems with a/c - moldy. Chrysler said they couldn't smell anything. Both vans had the ignition cylinders go bad twice. I was stranded 4 times. The 2002 only has 53,000 miles (but repairs make it seem like $153,000) I've paid for passenger window motor to be replaced ($400), ignition cylinder 2X ($389), wires in crankshaft harness damaged from heat exposure manifold ($400), rack & pinion needs replacing ($1,000) Heater blower wouldn't turn off ($239), cracks in canister hose $130, replaced battery 2X, brakes replaced, serpentine belt replaced 2X, sliding door latch replaced.

I owned my T&C for 3 years...and I loved every minute of it! We purchased this van used with 61,000 miles and never had a big problem other than one issue with the power steering. But once we got over 90,000 miles it started literally coming apart at the seams. The plastic on the bottom of the driver's seat popped off. All the rear brake lights stopped working except for one. The speedometer died. Then the engine started knocking, and we knew it was time to get out fast. I loved all the features of this van, its comfort, the way it drove, etc. But the number of problems we began facing around 90,000 miles was just too many to justify keeping this vehicle.

We bought this van used, but felt confident because of reviews we've read online. The van is beautiful and comes with just about every creature comfort I could imagine. However, we have also encountered every mechanical problem you can imagine. Brakes wear out very fast, gas mileage is terrible. We average 11 mpg in the city and 15 mpg on the highway. We've lost the air-bag clockpring twice, the check engine light comes on all the time, air-conditioner had to be replaced twice, too many issues to list. I would never purchase another one. Definitely not the car for these economic times, either. But it is pretty and you can fit just about the whole soccer team in there.

Great car. Roomy, comfortable, able to carry 7 people in comfort. Can haul a 5x8 trailer too. The interior has stood up to the wear and tear of our grandchildren without any tears. The video system has brought a great deal of enjoyment too. The climate control system works well. The only component we had trouble with was the radio. We had to replace it with one we bought on ebay for about $20. Easy to replace, took about 15 min.

Purchased our 02 T&C new. We have put 66,000 miles on it and it has been nothing but trouble. Engine burns a quart of oil every 800 miles. Power steering system had to be replaced. Power doors have failed...twice. Rear hatch failed. Various electrical components in the engine have failed. All in all, a nightmare and Chrysler has not stood behind the product. Buy a Honda.

This van was a good workhorse and family recreational hauler for the first 4 years. Suddenly a little over 80K miles the transmission failed. Since then it has a spring problem, leaking manifold seal, CV boot problem, frozen ignition and tearing and failing rubber parts on it. We were considering another T&C but the warranty has been shortened and now we are looking at the Honda & Toyota based on their reliability reports. I do like the style of the Chrysler best of the vans, it looks better, not so fat like the Honda and Toyota. Also, why can't Toyota and Honda have a standard compass like the Chrysler has. The trim package is better at a lower level on Chrysler than Toyota or Honda.

Bought this minivan because I needed the space for 7. Chose a minivan rather than SUV for economy reasons. I really do love diving this van. It is comfortable and very kid friendly, but the fuel mileage is AWFUL!!! They claim 16-city, 25 hwy. I have been lucky if I have gotten 11 mpg. I am extremely disheartened. Chrysler could have a great product if they could improve on that. And they shouldn't be able to lie about it either. Buyer beware--if you are looking for good fuel mileage-STAY AWAY,

When I first bought my '02 eX T&C(new) I loved it. Great ride, handling, quiet, good looks, very comfortable bucket seats and just the features I had been looking for. Unfortunately, this love afair has been turning to anger with every new problem. Headliner was loose and squeaked horribly upon delivery. Power steering hose leaked. Transmision cooling line ruptured (towed). Clock gains 1.5 min per week, 6 min per month. O2 sensor replaced. Computer control replaced (twice) Power sliding doors failed (3 times) Power lift gate failed (twice) Transmission slips in cold weather. Actual MPG 17.8 highway. And the bigest... Front suspension noise at 20k and now at 40k needs $600 to replace!

I haven't had van long, so review may change. Wanted '05 w/ Stow-n-Go but found customers unhappy with seat comfort, size, and quality. I was told about this used '02 Limited, so I researched it and found many happy owners and a solid vehicle. Dealer was offering comparable price to others around the country, and w/ 7,000 fewer miles. The dealership's owner drove it for past year (was previously a lease vehicle). I kept it for a 4-day test drive and had it inspected. Mechanic said it was in excellent condition. This is one nice ride; I hope it stays this way! Gave up a '95 Aerostar that never stranded me and had 172,000 miles on all-original equipment; what a workhorse. R.I.P. old friend!

We have really enjoyed the comfort and reliability of this van. It is the second one we have bought. The only complaint we have is the horn. You have to hit it directly on the right spot and in an emergency situation it is difficult to find that spot without looking. However, we are looking to buy our third T & C.

I love my 2002 Town and Country. The gas mileage on the highway is around 22 but the city mileage is only around 17. It's a fun vehicle to drive and the 3.8 V6 is definitely worth it. I would recommend the 2005 with Stowe and Go Seating if you ever haul stuff. Definitely a vehicle I would recommend.

Traded in 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee due to second child and in-laws. The All wheel drive gets through 1 to 6 inches of snow as well as previous SUVs owned by us. Amazing storage and interior comfort. Power sliding doors and liftgate are actually alot more useful than originally planned. Removing seats is easy, and allows alot of configuration options. Two recalls and a replaced power steering unit are the major service issues at just under 50000 miles. Solid highway cruiser, not exactly nimble, but very comfortable. Mileage is not very good, but similar to SUVs of past with alot more room and still solid all weather performance.

Until 2 mos. ago LOVED this car. Compared it to other minivans, such as Honda and Toyota, but did not compare in "features" or look. Have experienced a chugging/hesitation which has yet to be fixed by the dealer. I have had the O2 sensor replaced, power train module ("brain" of the car), ignition wires and spark plugs all replaced-luckily all under warranty! However, the problem still occurs. I am getting tired of running to the dealer. I am furious and frustrated w/ Chrysler Customer Service asking "What do you want me to do about it?" Isin't that obvious??? Any ideas on what could be causing this annoying problem? I am ready to ditch the car and Chrysler!

Car was delivered from factory and broke down after 2nd day of ownership. Car has had three catalytic converters in the first 12 months. Has had A/C system replaced in its entirety 3 times. Car has been out of service for warranty repairs 3 months out of 26 months of ownership. Car has had its entire fuel injection system replaced. Response from Chrysler customer service was "what do you want us to do about it?" Interior trim is cheap, poorly fitting and easily damaged during normal use. Undoubtedly the worst car mistake I have ever made.

Overall, this is a solidly built vehicle, that rides much quieter than the comparable Ford, GM, or even the foreign mini-vans (ours is 2002). For smoothness and 'quiet-ness' of the ride, it gets a ten in my book. Powerful enough for our needs, but could use a little more. The only problem in the first 30,000 miles was the lift hatch, which still acts up every once in awhile. Otherise, this has been a trooper for the year and a half we have owned it.

This is my third T&C since 1992 and the oldest one is still used by my son everyday with its original ransmission. They have been reliable and no major mechanical problems.

The brakes wear out very early (22k miles), there are a lot of rattles, power steering hose has blown twice and dealer says we are not eligible for the recall/upgrade version of this hose because we are out of the date range (models within a specific build date range qualify for an updated power steering hose replaced via warranty). The biggest disappointment is the trade- in value, $12,800 for a vehicle in EXCELLENT condition inside and out!! This is less than half the purchase price, does this mean the vehicle has passed half it's usefull life and therefore will be worthless on it's 4th birthday?!?!

Great for traveling with loads of "creature comforts"! Rear seats can recline back (open) for a nice sized napping area. 3 power ports and a cellphone charger plug keeps everyone happy. Sound stereo has 10 speakers for full-around sound. This is my 2nd Chrysler van - it just keeps getting better!!

Just not enough horses for the weight. The motor idles rough. Also the body fit and finish is not as good as the 98' Pontiac Transport I had. Inside is another story. No rattles at 30000 miles. Still the nicest van I have been in. Long story short, next car/van will be a GM.

This Town & Country has been one of best driving vehicles we have owned. I also think it's the best looking mini van out there. Interior comfort & convenience is very good. The stereo is excellent. Now the bad: Way too many problems for a low milage, two- year old vehicle! Leaking Transmission, (2) power windows, (3) air bag modules, (1) power sliding door.We are getting rid of it now...warranty will end soon.

My experience with our Town & Country was a little shaky at first. For the first few months, there was a high pitch squeaking coming from the engine. We took the van in a couple times for service, in which they replaced the belts and the belt tensioning arm which. After that was fixed, the squeaking noised hasn't return been heard from since. The driving performance was never compromised and the service was excellent. The automatic doors and the ability to easily change and/or remove the inner consoles and seats has made putting the children and groceries in the van a snap. My wife and I are happy we chose the T&C over the Odyssey.

Our 1st minivan. We compared it too the Sienna and Oddyssey. The Town and Country was the best value in the group. It lacked the fit and finish of its foreign competitors, but seemed to be the overall best choice. 7,000 miles into ownership, it is about what I expected. It is comfortable to drive and handles very well. We have had a few "minor" problems early on which makes me wonder about its long-term reliability. Just try getting the fuel mileage advertised on the window. The EX does offer some of the best features of this van all in one easy package. The power doors are a godsend with small children. Overall pleased, but not wowed.

I checked out several vans. This is tops. I also drive a BMW and my wife an Audi Quattro- the LXi with 3.8L is no sport sedan, but is very comfortable on long autobahn trips and handles extremely well at typical speeds of 80- 100mph. We have the trailer package with load leveling and only notice a full load because of the slightly slower acceleration and longer braking distances. Do not know why Honda was rated so high, seemed toy like compared to the Chrysler and insecure at driving speed. This is a solid, safe, efficient van.

This is an elegant, comfortable vehicle. However, it has been to the dealership 9 times in the year and a half we have owned it, including 1)a recall, 2)an electrical problem which caused the doors to lock and unlock themselves even when the key was not in the ignition, and 3)to replace the transmission! When it is not broken, it drives beautifully, and the leather interior, CD changer, automatic everything, etc. makes for a very nice ride. But the reliability and technical quality of the car seems to be a huge problem! I would recommend buying the extended warranty if you buy this car.

The Good: The wife, kids, mom/mother- in-law (even the dog!) have optimum room. The Bad: The brakes should have a stronger feel. The Ugly: My van is currently being repaired due to rear- end collision damage caused by a charter bus. If safety is your major concern--my van had six passengers at the time of accident and thank the Lord, no one was injured (the van was extensively damaged unfortunately-now if they would only complete the repairs!)--I would rate the bumpers alone a "20". If a minivan is your preference, this is the one--whether in the "town or country" it truly is the "limo" of minivans.

They escalated into muliple problems covering several systems and have returned for service approx 24 times in one year.

Please explain how Odyssey rates better than Chrysler. Had 2002 Odyssey 1 month. Rattles in dash and doors. Power doors slow and dangerous w/children. No computer information center like Chyrsler. Lots of road noise. Town & Country rides like a dream. Unbelievably quiet ride. Had this van 7 months and not a squeak or rattle anywhere. Not one visit to dealer for problems. More refined interior than Honda. Feel like we got more van for less money than Honda. Think editors too quick to assume import better than domestic.

Well, I think I owe it to Chrysler top do this since I bad mouthed american cars for so long. We were about to plunk down our deposit and wait for a full-priced Honda Odyssey when we decided to check out the Chrysler. Despite our fear of american cars, what we found was so much more for the dollar and a willingnes to deal...we couldn't justify the Honda. Very safe with a 7 year 100,000 warranty, we felt fine about the risks of quality. besides, the reviews have been superb since 2000. But what will really get you is the luxury. In short - Honda feels plasticy, Chrysler feels like a luxury car. Go see for your self. Thank god we did. We love it!

Our car(LXI model)has a very solid feel, but is also luxurious and powerful. The seats are comfortable and spacious. The controls are easy and intuitive. The engine is peppy, but quiet. We are extremely pleased with our purchase. We considered the Honda Odyssey, but were put off by the inflated pricing and lack of availablility. We got our car from an Internet company (carsdirect) for $6000 under sticker, and feel that we got a great deal. This price essentially allowed us to bump up to the LXi model from the ex model. If you can get the same deal, I recommend going with LXi.

I just bought my Town&Country new, and I LOVE it! This is the only van that I can drive without being ashamed, same with my wife. Owned an new Odyssey for 1 month and it gave me 4 problems, so I returned it, luckily it has good resale value. The Odyssey was JUNK! I have owned this T&C for 8 months, and I drove it with my family on a cross- country trip with many out-of-the-way stops, and there have been NO problems. From the info I gave you, Edmunds, you should stop saying the Honda is reliable and say the Dodge is. It is unbelievable that ANYONE could buy an ODYSSEY.

Despite what some folks say, we haven't had any trouble with our T&C. It rides like a dream, the auto temp is fantastic, and visability is excellent. Comfort and space can't be beat. The only down side to the vehichle is gas mileage (17 mpg overal). We had a Caravan w/same engine that was much better, don't know if it is the weight because of the auto doors, but the mileage stinks.

I have had my T&C LTD for 1 year now. It has performed flawlessly. It is very comforable and has so many creature comforts. I weighed it against the Honda, and I am so glad that I went with the T&C. I have driven only Honda's for the past 20 years, so I was a little nervous when I decided on the T&C. After talking with a friend of mine who bought a 2000 Honda Odessy, she reported lots of problems with her automatic doors. She has made many trips to the dealer for repairs, and I have yet to have one hick-up with anything. It only reinforces my decicion on the Chrysler. This year, I traded my Honda Passport in on a 2002 PT Cruiser. MGensel

The clear choice for us was the TC EX. We were and are Honda owners but the price and availability of the Odyssey didn't make sense to us. I feel I saved over $2500 and got more for my money. Plus, for as much as these MV's cost, I want a palace. The Ody is as sparten/sterile as my 1991 civic. Although I am taking a risk with reliability with a DCX product - the EX jsut felt right. We look kind of silly because now all of the moms have silver DCX MV's. The ODY is great as is the MPV. Just make sure you test drive the DCX products before giving up on them. Thanks Edmunds for all your help!

Can put two bikes in the rear by tumbling seats forward. I have a bad back. In a sedan, I am in pain, but in the van, no problem. In a parking lot, the sliding doors are much more convenient than the doors on a sedan. The AWD provides excellent traction in slippery weather.

You can re-paint my 2001 gold T&C YELLOW! We have had nothing but problems since the day we purchased it. To make matters worse, not one, but several Chrysler dealers have been less than helpful. We had an airbag issue, window motor stick, tranny blow and the A/C go out in the first 6 months. The the dealer installed trailer towing pigtail shorted out all the tail lights. The dealer never could figure that one out so we just don't tow a trailer anymore. DON'T DO THIS TO YOURSELF!

Basically a sham to capitalize on the buying frenzy going on at that time. I'm sooo glad I went with the T&C. The EX model offers great features for a low mark-up, so don't expect much negotiation.

We originally wanted to purchase a Honda Odyssey but after visiting the local dealer we quickly realized that the price difference was huge and that Honda was not willing to negotiate. Went immediately to the Chrysler dealership and got the last LX on the lot, along with the $2500 rebate, and have been motoring happily ever since. The DVD player we got for a scant $400 bucks is way cool and was $3100 less than what Honda wanted for the same thing. The warranty is outstanding already, 7 year/100k on the powertrain, and I added the extended bumper to bumper for next to nothing.

After testing most of the major builders minivans, I settled on the T&C because it looked and felt bigger, and had the solid feel to it. The ride is very smooth, better than the Honda, which, to me, felt kind of cramped. Looks great, with way to many cup holders! The fact that DC did not use a fold-down third seat was kind of a bummer, until I spend a few hours on the honda seat. After a little bit, the Honda reminds you its a Japanese car, regardless of where it was built! The T&C much better.

This is our fifth Chrysler minivan and our 2nd T&C AWD. I'm not sure why people criticize this vehicle for it's lack of a fold-flat rear seat. The 50/50 rear seat on mine is fairly light, allows for greater versatility and, importantly, allows for the german AWD system down below. Why, too, is a dvd option so attractive? My children READ BOOKS or talk with their parents when we make long trips! This is a highly refined luxury car with some cool bells and whistles: the power rear hatch and center console are terrific options. We also love the heated seats...wouldn't have another new car without 'em.

The T&C Limited is quiet, smooth riding and loaded with luxury features. The handling is actually pretty good for a minivan. The engine is hushed during normal driving, and it feels responsive at lower RPMs. The driving position is good, but the outside rear view mirrors are a bit small, as is the rear (hatch) window. Fuel mileage is around 17 MPG average.

Best Minivan by Far

After comparing every minivan on the market, I purchased the Chyrsler product because of its many advantages. It handles and drives far better than any of its competitors. Faulted for lacking the fold-flat rear seat, the split bench is as easy to use and gives greater versatility for only a minimal loss of max cargo space. The comfort and ergonomics are second to none and far superior to most. And only Chrysler offers several important features like the removable, powered center console.

No problems

We have had no trouble with the van. It has 10,000 miles now, and we have not had to do anything. There are no rattles, etc. The van is very quiet and drives and handles like an expensive sedan.

We Love Our EX

We really love our new Town and Country EX. The VCP unit that was included with the van was a big hit with our kids. The quiet and comfortable ride of the EX is much better than our '97 Ford. We really have been very pleased with this van.

I shopped around and drove almost every van out there. I could not find a better value and warranty for the money. We love the van.

I am very pleased with my eX Town and Country. I was going to buy a Honda Odessy but I liked the compass and outside air temperature option. My wife and I enjoy the independant temperature control on the heater.

Great minivan, if only they would screw them together a little better. This is our third Chrysler, and while I think the product is great, they've gotten progressively worse in build quality. So much for the Mercedes influence!
