ACCELERATION
| LXi, 3.8 V6 | Class Average |
|---|---|
| 5 | 3.6 |
The 3.3-liter V6 has adequate power, but the 3.8's extra muscle makes expressway merging and uphill climbs noticeably easier, especially with a load; it's our engine of choice.
FUEL ECONOMY
| LXi, 3.8 V6 | Class Average |
|---|---|
| 4 | 3.9 |
We averaged 15 mpg in a test of an AWD model; 3.3-liter models manage about 17 mpg overall.
RIDE QUALITY
| LXi, 3.8 V6 | Class Average |
|---|---|
| 6 | 4.9 |
Firm yet supple, though the AWD and towing options have firmer damping that's mediocre at absorbing bumps.
STEERING/HANDLING/BRAKING
| LXi, 3.8 V6 | Class Average |
|---|---|
| 4 | 4.3 |
As do its less-costly siblings, Town & Country drives like a large car, with precise steering and reasonably balanced handling. AWD works, but 3.8-liter front-drive models come with traction control that copes well with winter weather.
QUIETNESS
| LXi, 3.8 V6 | Class Average |
|---|---|
| 5 | 4.5 |
Among the quieter minivans, with engines well-isolated, though wind and especially tire noise are noticed as speed increases.
CONTROLS
| LXi, 3.8 V6 | Class Average |
|---|---|
| 6 | 5.7 |
Gauges and controls are logically arrayed, though it's a slight stretch to the radio and climate controls.
ROOM/COMFORT/DRIVER SEATING (FRONT)
| LXi, 3.8 V6 | Class Average |
|---|---|
| 7 | 6 |
Fine room for even larger adults. Step-in height is among the lowest in the class, so entry/exit is easy even with AWD.
ROOM/COMFORT (REAR)
| LXi, 3.8 V6 | Class Average |
|---|---|
| 8 | 6.4 |
Sufficient head and leg room in second and third rows. Double sliding doors are standard, but GM rivals have a power right-side sliding door and Ford, Toyota, and Honda offer two power sliders.
CARGO ROOM
| LXi, 3.8 V6 | Class Average |
|---|---|
| 10 | 9.3 |
There's ample cargo space, even with all seats in use. Second- and third-row seats are heavy and cumbersome to remove, though that's true of nearly all competitors.
VALUE WITHIN CLASS
| LXi, 3.8 V6 | Class Average |
|---|---|
| 6 | 5.8 |
Town & Country isn't the Best Buy value a Caravan or Voyager is, but as a minivan for the status-conscious, this Chrysler offers lots of posh for the price.
