I have owned this car over 10 years, it hasn't given me any problems. The ride is so comfortable and when people get in and see the luxury it has they can't believe it. this has been the most reliable and cheapest car for upkeep I have owned. I have 150000 miles on it and it is still going strong. I have always kept it up if I have a small problem or any problem I take it right away and get it fixed. the oil has been changed every 3000 miles and the tires rotated every second oil change. I love this car but I wanted to get at least one more new one as I am 73 years old. I debated for two months and finally decided to get the new one. I am selling this one myself and hope that whoever buys it will take good care of nellie and enjoy her as much as I have. the gas mileage averages 22 miles a gallon, it has a 6 cylinder engine. In looking at several brands of cars I have had very little luck finding a car like I want with even that good of mileage, brand new. I use syntheic oil as the works are older and that makes everything tight again. It is a Chrysler town and country touring van and I got all the luxury items on it when I bought it. great car.

Value Added!

This is an American classic. OK it's not a Viper but the longevity, reliability and function is amazing. Purchased at 32,000 miles and now it has 310,000 miles and everything works! Countless +2500 mile trips and no issues! The 3.8L is awesome. We've gone through four set of tires, a new radiator (did it myself) a cooling fan, and 6 sets of brakes plus a set of belts. The car drives like the day we bought it. AC is IC cold, stow and go is great. One of the automatic side doors stopped working but no big deal. Most comfortable best riding vehicle I've ever owned. Tows our big boat well

The practical people mover for the long term

This is my third Chrysler Product. I had a 94 Grand Caravan. Great engine but poor transmission that required rebuild at 90k miles but the car lasted as a whole until 180k miles with routine maintenance and was still drivable when I donated it to charity. I then had a 2001, where they added a transmission cooler and fixed the transmission issues. The 3.3 Liter (and it's cousin the 3.8) are now powerful engines especially if moving a nearly 5,000 lb car, but it's not meant to be fast. Good torque and the O.H.V engine design keep things simple, and costs down for repairs. This simpler engine has been around for a very long time, and it's fairly easy to service. But at 180 HP for such a heavy car, it' s very slow. I now bought my Mom a 2006 Town and Country, the upscale version of the Dodge Grand Caravan. I feel that in the used car marketplace, the Town and Country is priced nearly identical to the Dodge Grand Caravan but in initial purchase, they are 10k to 15k more in price for not much more in features. I think that if you are buying it without power sliding doors (less that can break) and without a lot of fancy electronics there is less that can break. The best feature of this car is the stow-and-go. You can convert it to a errand car for trips to Home Depot very easily. Another thing not often mentioned is that if you have large dogs, like German Shepherd, or Mastiff, this car's ability to put the rear 60/40 bench seat down and put a dog carrier in the back, is a great way to carry large pets, especially with a lower step in height. Did you ever try to help a 12 year old arthritic dog into a cross over or SUV and help lift such a heavy dog into the tall load floor? For me, my Minivan is my go to car for long trips, or for trips to get paint, or sheetrock. The cost of not renting a truck is very handy. I think it's a fantastic practical car. It's not particularly fast, but it's a well known design and it's been around forever. I had to replace the water pump at 60k miles. I strongly recommend any new owner change the transmission fluid at 60k miles and again at 120k. You need ATF+4 and make sure Chrysler does it, not some cheapo oil change, as this car is very sensitive to having the correct transmission fluid. Stay on top of your fluid changes for the tranny with these cars. I have over 100k miles and I mostly had little annoying problems, like door switches and window regulators, but not major break downs. Basic upkeep of new tires, brakes, frequent oil changes. I recommend changing the PCV and EGR valve at the 75,000 mile tuneup, as these parts are not expensive, and can keep car running smoother longer. Overall, it's one of the lowest cost-of-entry in the used car marketplace and cheaper than a Honda or Toyota Sienna while offering all the same value. I like this older body style compared to squared off new version. I also like the fact that they kept the same engine and transmission around for a long time, unlike Kia that went for a well known 3.8 DOHC engine to a 3.4 Liter with variable valve timing in only 10 years. To me, keeping the same basic engine and transmission around for 3 decades helps keep costs down both during purchase and repair time. Overall, not a fancy car, but a very practical car. I recommend.

Do not buy!!!!!

Bought car brand new back in 2006. Problems slowly started coming up around 2009. Now the van is an absolute junk. It burns oil. The head gasket might be blown because it is leaking anti freeze what it appears to be from the heads. The gas tank has a hairline crack that wont pass emissions. The headlights turn off by themselves while driving at night every once in a while. A very common problem with the headlight switch in this car. The driver window wont go down anymore. And the rear passenger door locks wont work either. Need to lock and unlock manually. Started with the right sliding door. Now the left sliding door wont work. Absolute garbage. Stay away. Buyer beware!!

We have had dangerous break problems in winter. The car won't stop. We have taken the car in several times and they say there fine no problems. Eletrical keeps failing which includes the headlights, overhead lights, window motors, pasanger sliding door, assist parking, and plug ins along with sensors. The power steering has been replaced twice. The alternator has failed. The check engine light keeps coming on and no one knows why. Don't forget it will just fail in the middle of driving and can not find the problem. The van will burn oil as well. Bought the van from a dealer and everything was supposed to work. The dealer covered up the fact the van did not have real leather as the seats were cracked and covered up. The van started to rust in year three. Had to cover that up as well. Could not find regular car seats to fit in the car. I had to buy 500 (each) car seats to fit for the kids. There is no room in the back for their legs with small kids.

Aiming for 400,000 miles

This van has been awesome. I have 300,000 miles on it and am aiming for 400,000. I have only had to replace the fuel pump and water pump and that was only in the last 100,000 miles. Only on the 2nd battery and of course with those miles a couple of sets of tires. Drives like the day I got it. I can't say enough about how awesome and reliable it has been. For a van I am also happy with the 22mpg I get.

I'm still in 'pick-up withdrawal.' Bought to replace my pick-up. For the most part, quite OK; like my pkup with a cap. However am reluctant to get inside 'dirty.' Turning radius is excellent and drive is smooth. Had a couple of problems, sorta expected with 7 yr old car and 96K, but local dealership is very good and restored to top running condition. Am preparing for a 4K trip out West with two other couples. Luggage travel box on top rails, etc. Will decide if it is as good as I think.

This Limited 2006 Town and Country has a lot of problems that any buyer needs to know about. 1. To start, the mileage is REAL BAD. I mean REAL REAL bad. We currently are getting around 14.5 MPG for city driving with the 3.8. That is a deal breaker for most. 2. You may think that the seats are real leather on the Limited, but the leather is FAKE plastic leather. If you want the real leather you need to get a Honda EX-L or some other van. These OEM fake leather seats SUCK and look cheap. And you are basically paying for leather with the high price they charge on a used car! Use this fact as a big bargaining chip! Real leather installation would cost $3000+ for all the seats …

My girlfriend and I have a total of 4 children together and needed a vehicle that could safely haul them around especially on long trips. I am an auto mechanic so I took my time researching and checking out several different brands. I found our 06 T & C at a Chrysler dealer with 58K miles. My girlfriend loves the power doors and rear hatch and with multiple DVD players we had installed, it is perfect. The Stow & Go works well for food, cases of soda and loads of DVDs and plenty of room in the rear for 2 strollers and luggage. The only problem we have had was the left sliding door stopped working. I made the repair in about 45 minutes and it has been working ever since.

at 42,000 miles and 15 allinments no shop could get the front end correct and the van would eat a full set of tires every 10,000 miles, and the van would lose a 1qt of oil every 3000 miles and crysler repose was thats normal no repair needed just check the oil once a week. the power seat base was replaced 2 times due to broken motors, the plastic intior would break, once spot it broke made a sharp stop that cut seat belt, at 30,000 miles had to replace shocks ans struts, the rear power door motor started to work every now and then, so i finnaly got ride of it and will never own anther chrysler product

less power than the 4.0L, but smoother delivery than the new 3.6L-i still like th 4.0L best. this vehicle does serve its purpose - the rear dvd is essential with a car full of kids on a long trip. the gas mileage isn't horrible -I average 19.5. I do like the (faux) wood trim, and the soft leather accents on the seats is a nice. tranny is smooth, shifts well. I do like the styling of this version from the front better than the newer models. the bads - all of the power door motors are LOUD, they work fine....the nav system is horrible - no touch screen, rotor dial for all intput. no rear button for tailgate. much less cupholder/usable storage space-in the end-the '08and up solved all this

We bought the van new and have had very little problems, it has been very dependable, and comfortable vehicle. I am slightly disappointed in the mileage 21 hwy, this is with correct air pressure in the tires, and new air filter. Coming from an suv I was just hoping for better. At the time of this review it is 6 years old with 78k miles, and the only problems have been a window regulator, and egr valve. I would not hesitate to recommend this vehicle to a friend. Wish I had got the stow and go seating. Gave it an avg fun to drive, it is a mini van, and value on all new vehicles is a joke.

Search the Internet for town and country power steering and you will see that you WILL be replacing the rack and pinion, as well as pump. The next time you hear a whine when turning the shell, get your wallet out. There should be a recall on these there are so many complaints.

Purchase this vehicle new and have had it serviced for the airbag light coming on many times. The light comes back on before I make it home! The dealer never told me that while the light is on the airbags will not deploy if you get into an accident. 4 years down the road and a new dealer before I was told about the danger, parts have been on order this time since April 2010. Calling Chrysler consumer hot line doesn't seem to help. They say they'll check on things and call you back but they don't. I'm getting frustrated. How long do I have to wait for a part? In the meantime I'm driving a unsafe car.

Never again

We bought the van in 2007 from a Chrysler corporate fleet. Since then, it's gone through 2 power steering pumps, 1 rack&pinion, the sway bar and end links, a ball joint and the DVD player. It goes through brakes every 20K and now has a brake vibration that the dealer can't figure out. It pulls to the right and the dealer (Danbury Dodge/Chrysler in CT) told me "they all do that a little". Thank goodness I bought the extended warranty. Even so, the sway bar and end links were not covered under the supposed "bumper to bumper" extended warranty. I'm a slow driver and I've never gotten more than 20 mpg from it. I'd never buy another Chrysler or anything from Danbury Chrysler/Dodge/Hyundai/Kia

For the most part I have really enjoyed this van. The paint job isn't great. I bought it new and it seems like any small bump will chip the paint. My biggest problem is the brakes with about 75000 miles I am already for my third new set of front brakes. The back which I had checked recently are fine. Have read other complaints about this and think something must be wrong. Otherwise I really haven't had to do much with the van other then regular maintenance.

Needed family vehicle following job transfer to US. Previously would not have considered Chrysler. Tested numerous 2nd hand Honda Odyssey, Toyota Sienna, Chrysler T&C. Liked the T&C best, looks, comfort, fully loaded, and price. Like it more and more each ride. Been long distance, camping, around town, and always happy. Bought at 20K miles, now just under 50K miles. Brakes will need doing soon DIY). Water pump went on trip to Canada, and had to resort to dealership. Few minor issues with right sliding door.

Bought this van new. Its the second one. Had a 2001 LXi. It was much more plush than this Touring model. However, it has been trouble free to date except the front brake discs & pads needed replacement at 30,000. The 2001 brakes lasted 60,000 but they had original ceramic all around. That convinced me of the value of ceramic. Now for the good points. Most of miles are on the highway where believe it or not I drive at 67-70 mph and get from 24.5 to 31 mpg. Believe it. This van with a 3.8 L V6 gets better mileage on the highway than advertised for medium sized sedans. I must add that the 2001 van only had a electric window mechanism go bad and I was "talked" into replacing the water pump.

Love this Car!

I bought one of these after we rented one to make our annual drive from Ohio to North Carolina. I fell in love with the Town & Country on that trip-- nimble handling, incredible comfort, easy to drive, tons of room, easy stow- away back seats. The one I bought is just as great. I love this car! Have had zero problems with it, and I've owned it for 4 years. I would never buy any other van but a Stow & Go Town & Country. The new 2010 model is supposed to have less engine power than my 2006, so I'm not trading in. If you're in the market for a Town & Country, I'd highly recommend a fully- equipped 2006 Limited with Stow & Go seating. Best road trip and everyday car EVER.

This is our first Minivan and it won't be our last, My family and I bought a used 2006 T&C and so far it is the nicest most comfortable "car" we have ever owned, we thought about the Honda and Toyota but the perks of this van won out and we went with chrysler and we are so ever glad we did. The Dvd sound system is amazing and the power doors are so helpful when you have your hands full of baby items, even the stow and go compartment makes a nice little "toy box" to keep the car neat and clean but the kids have plenty to do on those long road trips we love to take every year. My husband loves the look of the Town and Country it was easy to see why this was a smart purchase for our family.

When I bought my van, I had previously owned two other Plymouth Voyagers and a PT Cruiser. It was a big change going for the PT back to a van. It stalls out a lot. One time it even failed when I was backing down a steep hill and I had to throw on the parking brake to stop. My complaints are the sunroof stopped working, the stereo is cheap, and it had poor reliability.

I bought my 3.8L 2006 T&C w/26k and put over 40k more on it within the past 2 yrs. A few weeks ago my enginr started making a noise when I started it and it lasted until it warmed up. Can't figure out what it is???? Then last week my water pump started leaking, we replaced it ourselves, but the other noise is still there. We have a feeling it's the power steering, reading all of the reviews on this vehicle. BUT all-in-all I love my van!! It's spacious, gets great gas mileage (22+/gal w/daily driving), has a LOT of pick up, and comfortable to drive. I drive to Pittsburg frequently and never get stiff from driving. I just wish they would put better quality parts in them.

Wanted a newer American mini-van my wife could count on. Got the best us auto maker brand. The kids love the room. Great storage front to back. Stow-n-go is awesomely useful. But lots of little problems started coming up by 2008. Steering sloppy/harsh. Passenger sliding door lock stopped working. A/c stopped working this week (recharging failed, looks like evaporator bad, which means entire dash comes out $800 and it may still not work.) resale value stinks - went from $24k to $7k in 4 1/2 years. Leery of taking long trips now. Looks like I'm headed to Honda and Toyota minivans to pay more. Hope to keep them longer! Still driving 97 Civic w/almost no problems to date. Hmm.

Great van

We traded a 2005 conversion van for this one, great deal. We love the stow n go feature, great ride, handles very well, good power with 6 cyl engine. I carried 6 very BIG people in the van,total weight of 1500 lbs and it ran beautifully for 200 miles to the airport. great hidden storage and carrying capacity. I can get 21 mpg in city with careful acceleration, and avoiding jackrabbit braking and acceleration. I get 27 mpg on highway by driving at 65- 68 mpg using cruise. Compared to our conversion van which got 15 mpg on the highways, I am a very happy mini-van owner.

Never Thought I'd Love A Minivan...

We traded a Cadillac SRX in for our T&C and have not been disappointed since. We needed more room and we certainly got it! There are so many features to love about this van, that make it an extremely practical and fun vehicle to own. We have had several small problems with the van since owning it, but we also realize that it was used when we bought it! My complaints: the small motors- such as the windshield wipers and window motors, and the brakes. We have had multiple issues with our brakes from sensors going bad, to pads, etc. I do not "ride" my brakes, and while I do understand that it is a heavy vehicle, I did not expect to be continually having this much brake work done at only 40k mi.

Had the van for 2 years until my son wrecked it in to a ditch. Air bags went off and he was not hurt, however a minor wreck into a ditch "totaled" the car to my dismay. I had 65,000 miles on it. Power steering leaked, noisy breaks, but in all, a decent vehicle for a van.....

I have had a lot of Chrysler minivans and while not perfect, I have no major complaints. Can't beat the room, ride, comfort and fuel economy package. 26 mpg highway/21 city. I run full synthetic oil in my vehicles and strongly recommend if you want the best mileage and long-term engine benifits. I strongly recommend the extended warranty. My advice to SUV users who never see dirt roads...This is a great alternative. Have just over 30k now and have "not" needed new brakes. If you are heavy on the gas pedal and heavy on the brakes, you will run through "shoes" as it is a heavy vehicle. It should be considered as a heavy-duty station wagon and "not" and SUV. This is a great family car!!

My van has about $46,000 miles on it and the A/C quit working. To fix it will cost $1,100 - not something I'm willing to do on a 3 year old van. Also, the sliding automatic door/lock quit working - that was $250 to fix. Just replaced brakes which seems early to me, but find it's pretty common with these vans. I was told that the outer tie rod ends should be replaced soon for about $285. I've owned several cars and have never had to replace tie rod ends in the past. This will be my last Chrysler product and the sooner I get rid of this one, the better. Gee, I wonder why American car manufacturers are going out of business.....

I trust the engine and thats it.

Most taxi drivers use this vehicle in Texas and say engine usually goes to 300000+ miles but transmission only good to 120000. I've had a power steering problem within 2 yrs of new which I had to pay $250 to fix - apparently not under warranty. Electric door locks on one side stopped working after 1 yr. I had to replace battery after 3 yrs. Our 3 kids have given the car a battering on the inside but vast majority of trim still good. My next car will be a Honda or Toyota.

The 2006 Chrysler Town & Country that we've had for nearly 4 years as of this writing, has been the most dependable of all the cars I've bought in my 40 yrs. of driving. In nearly 70K miles, I've had one tail-light burn out and that's all! It has a classy design, comfortable roomy interior and ours has the popular entertainment package that I really enjoy: AM/FM/Cassette/CD/Sirius/DVD all in one handy head unit. An absolutely brilliant combination. We- re never at a loss for entertainment on my commute of on family trips. It also averages 24.1 MPG combined city/hwy driving. I would recommend this vehicle to anyone looking for style, comfort and dependability.

Chrysler's decision to drop the entry- level, short-wheel-base version of the minivan is a truly stupid decision. It may help standardize manufacturing, but neglects fundamental demand for that solution. We are fortunate to have gotten one of them (a great 2006 Town&Country) new for a very good price (under $14k), and cannot envision to get a newer model to fit in our tandem garage. Now, I also cannot find a single new model for less than $20k, and that includes fire-sales at axed Chrysler dealerships (6/2009). Like ours... We average between 19mpg and 21mpg (purely freeway) with the 3.3L motor, and never had any problems. Just had it in for the 36k inspection. A perfect family carrier

This is one of the most comfortable vehicles I've ever ridden in. The bucket seats in the front and middle row are wonderful...closest thing to sitting in my living room as I've ever gotten. Vehicle is responsive and handles well for a SUV/VAN. Good visibility. Lots of electrical outlets and cup holders. Love the backing-up warning system.

Have a warranty now but it has a two hundred dollar deductible. After reading all the reviews I will buy a better warranty and next time in about five years I will be buying a honda....what is up with the drivers side front seat it just stays in the up position ..

I love the van and the power sliding doors and rear hatch are great for dropping the kids off at school. I do not think that Chrysler chose the best possible design as the rear hatch has been repaired twice and between the 2 sliding doors there have been 6 repairs. Plastic trim pieces on stow-n-go seats as well as driver seat have broken in just normal use. Engine and drive train are working great as a matter of fact if it weren't for all the power door problems I would have given the van a 10 for reliability. Paid for features should last as long as the vehicle.

Have had Chrysler/Dodge/Plymouth vans for many years. Currently have 51000 on this T&C and have had too many problems with it. Under warranty: driver power window motor, tie rod end (was not lubed at factory), battery, and insturment panel lights. After warranty: battery went out again, power steering pump, and water pump. Why do both of these pumps fail after only 51000 miles? Service writer said they cannot replace 2nd battery even though it was within the 24 month free replacement period because I was over the 36000/3 years and the original battery had been replaced under that warranty. Very unhappy with reliability!

This is our 3rd TnC van and it has many comfortable features that make long trips possible for a family of 6. I'm happy with the larger 3.8 engine for acceleration and the mileage is OK at 19 mpg in town 21 on hwy. I do Love the stow and go bins. However, the AC went out at 18k miles (a known Chrysler issue & a 2wk back ordered wait for parts). Now 2 mths later the passenger sliding door motor is shot, the dash board lights are flickering like a strobe light, & a strange new humming in back? All under warranty, but also under 27k driven. What's next! Yes, the factory brakes are garbage and need replacing entirely too soon. Don't wait if they squeak at all or new rotors will be in your future

I might get 20 on the highway if lucky. Sunroof leaks, shorted out upper gauges. can't fix. Also, power steering keeps slipping been fixed 3 times. when it rains I go slow for of losing my power steering. this has almost caused several accidents.

I wish I did more research when shopping for a van. I was pleased with the price tag and amenities I was able to get with my Town & Country. The initial investment may have been lower, but I have had the van 2 years and have spent WAY too much on servicing it since!! I've had problems with the air conditioning, tires, brakes, air bags, sunroof and other "unknown" squeaks, squeals and plastic parts falling off in the interior. I tried selling the van once the repairs started occurring regularly, but the resale is HORRIBLE! I would have to pay out over $7000 to get rid of the van - so I am stuck with the piece of junk. Do not buy a town & country! I will not make this mistake again!

I bought this van new June 06 has the 3.3 L v6 short wheel base model. The gas mileage is terrible 15 freeway i couldn't believe it, my wife drives the car mostly and drives with the kids in the car. The front brakes squeak and make grinding noise a lot of brake dust, get very hot and wear out every 20,000 miles like clock work. The rack and pinion power steering was replaced at 25,000 miles, passenger sliding door power lock replaced at 30,000 miles, transmission shifts hard you feel every shift. Dealer has answer for all, everything is normal, front brake noise and wear normal, 15 mpg freeway normal. I think the dealer is full of blank. last Chrysler i buy. Dont buy a town & country

We chose the town and country because it was the only Minivan i fit into comfortably (6'4"). We have grown to really love it and I particularly love the stow and go seating. However, it has been the least reliable car I have every purchased. The in the first 18 months of ownership we had to replace one tail light twice and the other once. The e-brake sometimes "snaps" and needs to be re-engaged (Dealership could not do anything about this) and the two front brakes wore down to the metal in about 12K miles and 20 months (warranty is 12K miles and 12 months). The dealership told me I should expect the brakes to wear out significantly faster than Honda, Toyota, or Nissan.

We have over 31,000 miles on the van since fall of 2006, and there hasn't been one issue other than a replaced gas cap. It provides a comfortable ride, especially on long road trips. Good power outlets for the kids. The van gets better-than-expected gas mileage on the highway: around 27 mpg (even with 4 adults, 2 kids and luggage in tow). When driving on short trips around town, we get about 19 mpg. Not great, but still good considering the vehicle's size and carrying capacity.

This is only my second new car & I am pleased for the most part. I love the style, inside & out. The van has been pretty reliable but I had to replace brake pads at 36,000 miles (I drive in Atlanta traffic, but don't ride my brakes). At 70,000 miles, the driver side CV Axle broke internally (boot not torn at all); had to tow van home & replace. The passenger side is popping; plan to replace this week before I get left on the side of the road again. Maybe a recall is necessary, since the dealership parts guy admitted that he's sold allot of them? The lifters are noisy, maybe I should try a higher octane gas, as a previous review suggests? Hard to, with gas prices the way they are...

We are very happy with our 2006 Town & Country - great design and truly the best value for the money. For whatever reason they don't have our short-wheel base model in the latest (2008) T&C, the design also took a step backwards. We prefer our "bubble" design look. The fuel economy of the 3.3 L engine is better than of its competitors (even the Honda Odyssey), but we barely get 20 mpg on average out of it. The motor is responsive and well- balanced. So far no issues with it. The only design flaw we found is an unusual brake configuration: Our minivan has disk brakes on front and drum brakes on back - most brake job places have an "all disk brakes" in their database!

Invest in a brake pad company if you plan on buying a Town and Country. My T & C needed brakes every 8000 miles like clock work. Most of these miles were highway miles. The power doors are one problem after another. Some times they wont open and other times they open by themselves. The dealership knows the car is build like this so they milk every service for what its worth. Billing the warantee company for worthless repairs and the costumer.

Everytime we turned around it was having another reliability problem. The transmission started to slip at 15000 miles. That should of gave us a warning. No problems with our Chrysler. No trips back to the dealer for anything. Couldn't say that about the Honda. Test drove the Toyota Sienna. Didn't like its weird styling. We made the right choice.

Getting ready to take back in, because the sliding doors are not working correctly, yet! Very discouraged. Chrysler, please take this van back.

Loved this car from the first time I drove it. We moved from Maryland to Colorado in March 2006 and drove 1700 miles across country. The 2 things that helped most were the integrated DVD and Sirius radio. I love being able to listen anywhere, and the DVD keeps the kids entertained when we cannot think of anything to do while driving. Got around 24mph loaded down on the highway (a little better then I expected).

We purchased the van for our 2 children and traded in our small Jeep we were outgrowing. It handles very nicely and the best feature has to be the built in child seats. Love that! The only problem so far is we had to have the steering system replaced because it was shot. Something we were not anticipating - luckily it was all covered in the warranty. I'd just advise that you buy any warranty they offer. We did not purchase an extended warranty. Now I wish we had. Hopefully there will be no more problems with it. Otherwise we will be trading it in.

We bought our T&C to replace our suv as our family car. During the first few months everything was fine. Then we started to have quality issues and reliablity problems. We have 24,800 miles now and already had to replace water pump, power steering pump and high pressure line, and idler pulley just went out! Now has trouble idling and runs rough with a/c or heater on. Dealer tells us now that the brakes have 10% left! We were planning to keep for 5-6years, but it looks as if we are going to trade out to another brand. VERY disappointed!

The base T&C is well equipped. Best vehicle for the price 16.8k (tax, lic) out the door. Similar priced Honda or Toyota, would cost up to 10K more. Saved the money and purchased an extended warranty. My wife and I love the comfort, ride, and overall feel of the vehicle. The remote entry, tinted glass, smart airbag in the front seat, grocery hooks, hidden pullout drawer, lumbar support, car mats, sliding door warning, are all pluses for the base model. Many of these things are optional on other brands and would have cost me another 1K. My first Chrysler, (had 3 Honda’s prior) and so far I am very impressed. If you don’t mind negotiating, you can really come out a winner!

We've owned our 2006 T&C Signature Series for 9 months (mileage 6,800). It has many upgraded features, handles the road well and is comfortable to drive. It's also been in for repairs 6 times during the past 8 months (once for an airbag warning light, 4 times to repair the DVD player-there are 2 versions of the DVD player and there was some confusion about which should go in our car, once for a recall repair and to check out some rust forming on metal parts of our stow-n- go seats (CHRYSLER SAYS THIS RUST IS "NORMAL" so it wasn't fixed). This will require more follow-up, hassle for us. Chrysler does not seem to care about customer satisfaction although my dealership has been great!

I had a 99 T&C and it had the BEST most comfy seats. This one is awful for short people - the seats are set too high and are not as soft as the 99. My short legs barely reach the floor! Pretty uncomfortable. It's also a pig - poor acceleration!!

We purchased the 2006 Touring model as a used car - and love it. Our previous minivan (an earlier model Honda Odyssey) pales in comparison. It rides quietly & the engine performs well - especially noticeable on inclines. The seats are comfortable and there is plenty of leg room even in the third row. The Stow-n-Go system is a great feature, too. The storage behind the third bench is twice the size of our previous minivan. Also, the power doors & lift gate are an added bonus. We really upgraded when we went to this model!

I bought the van on ebay with 25K miles for 14K. Satellite radio is a plus, good power, and 29 mpg on the highway, 23 mpg in town. I just bought a queen pillow top mattress at Sams and it fit in with a little bending in the middle. Plus room for all the groceries. I don't think the rigid box spring would fit...The Stow and go is great and very easy with the numbered tabs. Good acceleration, but on a wet surface the wheels don't grab, so you really need traction control. My next purchase will be for a touring or limited version. If buying at a dealer, I'd get the console/floor mat options and have them thrown in for free, ebay is tricky! and opt for the overhead rail system

This van 3,3 L engine is peppy and gets out of its own way. I have taken the van on short in state trips and around town driving, we've had very few problems. The few problems we had were minor, like the brake pad won't stay on the pedal and a nagging rattle under the dash. The engine pings on gas under 90 octane. The stongo is awesome the seating is comfortable for seven. I like its exterior style and upscale interior. The engine compartment is not cluttered and I can check the fluids with ease and I can get at the spark plugs!. Ford vans require a big mechanics bill to replace just about anything under the hood and not much under the hood is easily reached either.

VERY roomy, even without the "fold into the floor" seats. I'm handicapped and getting in & out of my previous vehicle (2001 PT Cruiser) was a real chore.. excellent response to the gas pedal, easy to park and maneuver in tight places (this minivan has a tighter turning radius than the PT did!). excellent radio/CD/tape unit and great sound from the speakers..windshield wipers were hard to operate at first (stalk-mounted controls always gave me fits!)..in all, even though it was the bottom of the "luxury" class, it had all the appointments I needed..my advice-if you need a vehicle that's roomy, nimble and easy to operate--buy this one..!!

Plenty of power with the 3.8 liter engine. Other Toyota/Nissan/Honda minivans I have ridden in lack this amount of power, especially up hills and when fully loaded with passengers. The van drives like a car. Very quiet inside when driving. The stereo is surprisingly good for a stock unit. The Stowe & Go feature with all rear seats is a fantastic feature. No more hassling with removing entire seats to make more room. Automatic sliding doors and rear hatch are also nice features. Plenty of leg room for adults on every seat in the vehicle.

The interior is beautiful, driver and passenger seats are quite comfortable. Before purchasing the T&C, I was considering the Odyssey and Sienna. I wanted to purchase a van that was completley loaded and after test driving them all and comparing prices the T&C was hands down the best.

I originally set out to buy a Honda, although I never buy foreign. I was determined to get better gas mileage than the Jeep Cherokee Limited that I adored! I also wanted more room. The Honda was overpriced with fewer options and most importantly was uncomfortable. The T&C was so plush and had every option to play with. I love the power doors/tailgate since I have an 11 month old baby now and my hands are always full! Hope the gas mileage gets better though. I will update after break-in. Other than that there is no other vehicle I could possibly like more, even the so-called luxury vehicles. I fit 2 dogs, a baby, 4 adults, & a rooster in a large carrier into this van wiyh comfort!

My new Town & Country Touring Stow 'n- Go is the best minivan I have ever owned. It has lots of extra features that now come standard on this vehicle. It rides well with very little road noise. It is particulary well suited for my activities, including Golden Retriever Rescue. It holds two travel dog crates when the third row seating is stowed away. There is also plenty of room for all of the items I have to carry for the dogs. One of the reasons I chose this vehicle is for the rear A/C for the dogs.

Park down to the Grand Tetons, back and forth to Yellowstone, with luggage on top, 2 adults 2 big dogs, and 2 bikes on the back we got 21.3 mpg (pretty good) and not one hint of a problem. This is a comfortable, well appointed vehicle and I was particularly impressed with the performance of the 3.8 engine. I cannot find any fault with the van.

My year old son likes the DVD player and even my reluctant wife is warming up to it. Not a bad vehicle for under $20,000.

Cheap flat plastic panels inside, with no niche for basic storage. AC went off ( and "fixed") twice, tranny jolts when decelerating, rust! On engine head, frt brakes calipers replaced.....Too many to mention. Don't buy,unless you have money to waste. Pay cheap, get cheap. Toyota and honda are the best by faaar!

We got our T&C for an early xmas present for me and I am very impressed w/ what you get for the money, total value! Chrysler offered a rebate that we could not pass up. I really wanted a sport-ute for the high up driving position but was avoiding the gas usage of a 4WD along w/ the high sticker prices on a foreign auto. We only have 940 miles on the van so far, so I hope the mileage gets better, but I fear the old "breaking in period" is an old wives tale. It was on the sticker as 26 hiway and we got under 20 so far! in town is naturally worse. how can they advertise it so far off? I had no weight in the van and didnt have the the air on. I love every other thing about the van, however!

Didn't expect to buy American car new. Loved the Odyssey which is the best ride feel (like a car) and on paper the best value (Sienna was too pricey), but with $2500 incentives and $1500 financing incentive, I paid $22K on what would have been a $28K Honda. Since we'll drive it for 10+ years, I don't care about the depreciation issue. It drives great. Power liftback is very cool and stow-and-go is great. No regrets so far and I like not being like the 9 out of 10 cars which are Hondas and Toyotas out there.

You can't buy a Corolla for what they sell these minivans for. This is my 5th Chrysler Minivan. My wife drives one, I drive one, my friends drive them. For @ $20,000 I defy anyone to find a more stylish, good handling and dependable vehicle. When I buy these I feel like its the greatest unknown secret. People pay $40,000 for a Honda van. Ypu could buy 2 of these for that.

Y BUY 4N??? Chrysler Van is the BEST!

Looked at and drove all of them, Finished up buying the Chrysler Touring. Very comfortable on the road, and the family loves it. DVD player for my grandson made a trip much shorter. Mid 20's on fuel economy is good, Stow and Go seating is super. Very safe for everyone. 5 Star safety rating gives much peace of mind. Honda and Toy are pretty good, but to get one equipped like my Chry is way too expensive. This is the best car I have ever owned, including several imports. Kudos to Daimler Chrysler!!!

We bought our van on Oct. 28. On Nov. 1, we left Milford, Ohio for our winter home in Sun City Center, Fl.. The trip in our new van was very enjoyable mainly because it was very comfortable to ride in because of the electric heated and multi position adjustable electric drivers seat. It also had a new feature called Navigation. It mapped out the best route to our home in Florida and gave us verbal and visual directions all the way down. It was a joy to drive this vehicle such a long distance and arrive feeling as if our trip had lasted only about half as long as it had felt on previous trips. Thanks

Bought the Touring after looking at Dodge, Nissan, Toyota, Honda and Ford. After trading in a 2004 Toyota Highlander I feel it was the right choice. There is plenty of room to put people in the 3rd row, in the toyota someone had to climb over the seat or enter through the trunk, unless you wanted to take the carseats out. Very nice have had many toyota, and for the price I feel you get alot more for your money. The same equipment on other vehicles is 4-6 Thousand more. All in all I feel this will work alot better for families than an SUV with a third row seat because of the captains chairs on the second row.

I sacificed my GM Card credits and converted to the T&C Limited. The T&C is heads and shoulders over the GM minivans. The drive is smooth and quiet. The stow and go feature is great. Van is packed with interior features.

this is the first chrysler that we have owned in thirty years and the first minivan. We have a 3 year old and a 11 month old and the ease of putting them in their car seats makes it worth every penny.

After a lot of research the town and country signature series touring was our choice. The ride is comfortable and smooth. The stow and Go is the best. The turning radius is very tight.Leather heated power front seats are very comfortable. Navigation takes time to get use to but I am sure it will be a great asset.

Have only 3000 miles on it, but mileage on trips runs around 25 mpg and for over all driving, around 21 mpg. Very comfortable seating with Leather Package and fun to drive. Adjustable leg room on 2nd row seats is very practical.

Although this is our first Chrysler mini-van, we have owned at least 6 or 7 Dodge mini-vans and have never, ever had a mechanical problem with any one of them. Our last one was a beautiful Champagne color and was a 2001 model with only 32,000 miles on it, we are selling it in favor of the 2006 Chrysler because the sto n go seating is practical for our travels.

This is my fourth Chrysler minivan, I had a '98, '01,and an '02 that I traded for this 2006. Before buying another minivan, I looked at several other types of vehicles from SUVs to full and midsize trucks to sedans. My wife has a 2004 Acura MDX that we thought we would use as our family vehicle and get me a cool car for a change. But, after driving several different things, I decided the minivan is just the best configuration for families. No other vehicle gives the combination of smooth ride, amenities, utility and safety. Truthfully, I was set on either the Odyssey or Sienna because of magazine reviews, but after test driving all, I honestly believe the Chrysler was the best choice.

Another Chrysler hit

Purchased in late October. We did so after considering all the major "competition" -- Honda, Toyota and Nissan. In the end, there was no question -- we stuck with our Chrysler roots, trading in a 1999 Plymouth Voyager for the '06 with features that none of the competition can come close to offering at such a great price. We immediately took it on a trip to Williamsburg, Virginia and were pleased with every feature. This will be my wife's new vehicle so it had to meet exacting standards! It contains everything she needed -- a more powerful engine, multi-zone climate, power doors/tailgate, CD/DVD, comfortable seating, attractive styling. Awesome so far!

Bought our Chrysler Minivan after futile attempts with local Honda, Toyota and Buick dealers. Absolutely love the folding seats and power doors. We're getting about 22mpg overall but mostly taking kids to school, band practice and YES - Soccer practice. Kids are fighting over sitting in back seat to watch DVDs, instead of the front seat next to mom?

This is an excellent vehicle to transport kids in. It has plenty of room and excellent storage places. It is by far and away the best value of any minivan on the market.

This is strictly my wife's car. She liked the stow and go seating, which I agree is cool. It is about time an American company caught up with Honda, and even showed a little innovation! The interior is a little dated feeling in my opinion, but it's livable and comfy in the front buckets, almost comfy in the second row, not so much the third because of the lack of footroom.

Happy with my choice

I really like this 2006 T&C. It is easy to get the kids in and out of. There are only two things I would change. The power doors are noisy and there is no Illuminating light on the slides for the temperature control. Makes it very hard to see at night. As for the doors I do like that you have the option to use them with out the power. My thinking is if the power part fails at least you can still open them. I love the stow and go, with 3 kids we always have more stuff than we know what to do with. Overall this was a good choice for the price. I guess time will tell if it has any issues like its predecessor.
