Town and Country Worth the Price

Review

This is a reliable and appealing car that I have had in my possession for over a year in which it has proven its worth. On the interior the features of the car such as the satellite radio make the long rides more enjoyable. The leather upholstery in the car gives it a comfortable feel and the layout in the car provides for communication between passengers without largely distracting the driver. Each of the two televisions mounted on the ceiling of the gray roof provide a distraction for kids, but I have found that they block the driver’s view in the rearview mirror.

Favorite Features

Sirius satellite radio and the sunroof. Also, the televisions provide a good environment for children. The exterior of the minivan is sleek, and functional, allowing for a trailer hitch and car top rack. Again, for long trips with much luggage the trailer hitch is a huge bonus and really makes the

Suggested Improvements

While helpful once it is set, the car top luggage rack is extremely hard to move and set in place. The small, rubber screws that hold the rack in position must be twisted to adjust the rack, a feat that takes time and quite a bit of manpower.

Great Van

2009 Chrysler Town and Country Touring 4dr Minivan (3.8L 6cyl 6A)

Review

We replaced our 03 Limited with this 25th anniv Touring. Great price, great van. This has the 3.8, wish it has the 4.0. I gave this van 8 on performance & fun to drive, because... it's a van! I did not buy it for performance, or to take it on the back roads. Includes dual screen video, myGIG, tri-zone air, remote start, heated front & 2nd row seats, power pedals, 6 power windows, dual sliding doors controlled by a button or the handle, stow & go, rear view camera, and more!

Favorite Features

Stow & Go. Went from transporting the kids to renting a tiller in less than 5 minutes. Remote start, gets the AC or heat going fast. Rain sensing wipers.

Suggested Improvements

2nd row seats a bit uncomfortable- has to do with the stow & go. Flip down screen block rear view somewhat. Taillights look a bit "cheap". Go back to dual bulb, or separate the turn signal.

New van

Review

Chrysler T&C minivan is a great mode of transportation. Good visibility, easy to drive, nice sound system, comfortable seating, stow&go is awesome! With rebates, etc., this was my best choice. I've had Chrysler minivans in the past, and this is the best one yet. Mileage is a little weak, but expected to improve with age.

Favorite Features

Satellite radio, stow & go seating, nice power under hood w/3.8 engine, lots of storage.

Suggested Improvements

Bring back AWD.

My North Dakota 2009 T & C

2009 Chrysler Town and Country Limited 4dr Minivan (4.0L 6cyl 6A)

Review

Our vehicle is a Touring with the 4.0 Liter. With incentives this vehicle is substantially less expensive than the Honda and Toyota competition that we choose to compare with. A similar Honda was over $5K more. Note to Toyota - your stock tires supplied were horrible for winter driving. Do you not know where the vehicles are being delivered to - hello. Handling is a little sloppy but since we use it for highway not such a big deal. Don't try to use this vehicle in the mountains. On our first try, even though we used the shiftable auto transmission to slow the vehicle, the rotors warped after one trip. The 4.0 liter motor is an improvement from our previous T & C - decent power and mpg.

Favorite Features

The screen for the backup up cam is large which is nice. The Chrysler exclusive built hard drive which you can load up your favorite CD's is a favorite feature. This vehicle's stock tires are reasonably good for winter. The kids appreciate the rear seat DVD. Nicer interior styles than competition

Suggested Improvements

The quality control is not just bad it is horrible. The vehicle is in the shop constantly. I am researching the lemon laws to see if they can apply. If I could put a zero down for reliability I would.

Review

Trade in my 1996 Chev Blazer with over 230,000 miles. Thank you for the $$$ for clunkers. I'm very happy with this auto. My 1st time in a Mini Van. The kids love it. lots of room for other friends and family. Just the radio acts up time to time.

Favorite Features

The room and power doors.

Review

I wrote this review as a rebuke to the "professional" reviews on this site. The touring model is a great value. The package I got has features that would costs many thousands more on a Honda or Toyota. Leather, cruise, 2 dvd's, hard drive music, satellite radio, 3 zone temp, auto side and rear door, power windows all around (including side and vent) 6 speed trans, auto start, backup camera, power driver and passenger heated seats, and a good warranty all for under $27K. I recently went on a highway trip and the gas mileage averaged 23 mpg. Sure its no Prius, but I moved 2 small accent tables, a large cooler, luggage, and still had comfortable seating for 3. Handling and ride is great.

Favorite Features

Stow and go seats. Very convenient feature. This is hands down, the greatest feature of this mini-van. We used to have a minivan where you needed to remove the seats; a real pain. Hard drive music system. No need to hook up Ipod or carry CD's. Backup Camera. Living in Chicago its a must have.

Suggested Improvements

Company Reputation. Offer a Hybrid version.

2009 Town & Country Touring

2009 Chrysler Town and Country Touring 4dr Minivan (3.8L 6cyl 6A)

Review

Excellent for the $$$. Rides comfortable, kids love it b/c of 2 TV's. Like that kids can watch video & we can still listen to radio. Nice that you can load music onto hard drive so you don't have to keep inserting CD's. See no point in being able to load pictures as screen saver, wouldn't want family pics in car in case stolen, etc. Should've gotten higher pkg with both power seats b/c passengar seat can't be lowered and it's set a bit high for me. Easy to maneuver, V6 3.8 engine is a plus, pretty good "take off". Wish climate controls were digital instead of old fashion turn knobs. Stow N Go is excellent, gives us so much needed room. Overall, best bang for your buck.

Favorite Features

Hard Disk Drive for music, parkview camera, tv's, premium console, remote start, screen shades for kids.

Suggested Improvements

More comfortable seats, perhaps plushier. Digital A/C controls, remove analog clock, see no point. Make it standard for both driver and passenger seat be powered. Passenger seat should be able to go back more (not back of seat but actual seat)b/c too close to dash.

Review

Overall this minivan is amazing. The kids go crazy with the dual screens and wireless headsets. It is such a comfort to ride and have had it only 3 weeks and still need to figure out the buttons. Drive this is Asia and can't wait to take long trips back in the states when I go back next year.

Favorite Features

My Gig Radio, VES, comfortable front driver seats, remote back seats, backup camera and sensored exterior mirrors when a car comes close.

Suggested Improvements

Better Mileage somehow - but no complaints.
