Rearward visibility was improved with the '91 overhaul, and seats are more contoured and comfortable than before. Radio and climate controls are easy to reach, which they weren't in earlier versions. Other controls also are logically positioned. Cargo space is abundant behind the backseat. Acceleration is adequate with the 3.3-liter V6, but nothing to boast about--especially if the Town & Country is filled with passengers and luggage. If you do a lot of heavy hauling, look for 1994-95 models with the 3.8-liter V6. With that engine under the hood, a Town & Country does not feel overburdened. Gas mileage is likely to be around 15-17 mpg in town, and the low 20s on the highway (a little less with all-wheel drive). A recalibrated suspension reduced body roll in turns. Ride and handling both are excellent--soft but well controlled--much like a Grand Caravan or Voyager LE. Wind and road noise are minimal. Unlike Caravan/Voyager, the Town & Country was not available with integrated child safety seats until 1994. Adjustable front shoulder belts in 1993-up models are pleasant to use, and an airbag (dual airbags for '94) and ABS are safety bonuses.

Value for the Money
All three of these updated Chrysler Corporation minivans--Town & Country, Dodge Caravan, and Plymouth Voyager--belong at the top of their class. The Town & Country wraps all of their minivan virtues into an envelope of high luxury, packed with comforts and conveniences.
