2007 Chrysler Town & Country Review
Unchanged for 2007, Chrysler's minivan is an upscale version of the Dodge Caravan and Grand Caravan. Town & Country comes in base trim and in longer-body LX, Touring, and Limited models. All have seven-passenger seating. Base and LX have a 170-hp 3.3-liter V6. Touring and Limited have a 200-hp 3.8 V6. All have automatic transmission. Traction control is exclusive to Touring and Limited. An antiskid system is unavailable. The base model has rear drum brakes with optional ABS; the other models come with antilock 4-wheel disc brakes. A driver knee airbag is standard, and curtain side airbags that cover all three seating rows are standard on Limited, optional on the others. Exclusive to extended-length versions are Chrysler's Stow 'n Go 2nd- and 3rd-row seats that fold into floorwells. With the seats raised, the wells are storage bins. Other available features include power sliding side doors, power liftgate, power-adjustable pedals, DVD entertainment, navigation system, rear obstacle detection, and wireless cell phone link. Town & Country's performance and accommodations mirror those of comparably equipped Caravans.
Competition
Consumer Guide® Automotive places each vehicle into one of 18 classes based on size, price, and market position. Long the choice as a family hauler, Minivans are easily the smartest use of space for passengers and cargo. These vehicles offer a fantastic blend of comfort, convenience, and safety features for the modern family.
Our Best Buy is the Honda Odyssey. Our Recommended picks are the Chrysler Town & Country, Dodge Caravan, Hyundai Entourage, Kia Sedona, and Toyota Sienna.
New or significantly redesigned models include the Hyundai Entourage and Nissan Quest.

News
Chrysler Group minivans go bold and boxy for a planned 2008 makeover. Sources say Town & Countrys adopt some visual cues from Chrysler's 300 sedan, while Dodge Caravans draw on the burly Charger/Magnum look. All will offer roll-down rear-door windows for the first time, plus revamped Stow 'n Go interiors. This reskinning may enlarge some dimensions, but probably not too much, as the basic platform is reportedly unchanged. That, in turn, suggests engines will be mostly carryover too, though perhaps mated to a new 5- or 6-speed automatic transmission. Short- and long-body models will continue.

Consumer Guide® Road Test Ratings
Acceleration
The 3.3 V6 is adequate in the regular-length model, but feels overmatched in extendeds for anything but light-duty work. Smooth, strong 3.8 provides plenty of muscle for most any need. Transmission works well with both engines.

Fuel Economy
Test Touring model averaged 18.5 mpg. Overburdened 3.3 should average 15-17 mpg in extendeds, only slightly better in the base model. Both engines use regular-grade fuel.

Ride Quality
Extended-length models absorb bumps better than most minivans, and ride about as comfortably as a large car. Base model's shorter wheelbase makes it jumpier, less forgiving on bad pavement.

Steering/Handling/Braking
Near-carlike stability in turns, fine around-town maneuverability. Good steering feel, braking power, and pedal modulation, though noticeable nosedive in sudden stops.

Room/Comfort (rear)
Stow 'n Go seats reduce 2nd- and 3rd-row leg and toe room vs. standard seats in Grand Caravan, though still spacious enough for adequate adult comfort. Regular-length Town & Country actually has more 2nd- and 3rd-row leg room than extended version. Step-in easy through wide sliding doors. Override feature allows power side doors to be easily closed or opened by hand.

Cargo Room
Regular-length model has tight cargo space with all seats in place. Stow 'n Go seats fold easily into front and rear floorwells to lay flush with floor. With seats in place, 2nd-row floorwells provide about 12 cu ft of handy, covered storage. Rear well a boon to cargo space with 3rd row raised. Available power liftgate useful, reverses direction at slightest obstacle.

Value within Class
An outstanding blend of seating and cargo-carrying versatility, available safety features, and abundant comfort and luxury touches qualify the Town & Country as a Recommended pick. The main differences between Town & Country and its Dodge Caravan sibling are the grille appearance and what prestige may be associated with the Chrysler badge. Both are fine performers, with Town & Country's higher sticker prices partially offset by its higher resale values.

Pricing Key: Retail prices listed with each report are set by the vehicle's
manufacturer. These figures appear on each car's federally mandated window sticker.
Most price lists also include dealer-invoice prices. Dealer-invoice prices are
what the dealer pays the manufacturer for the car and its factory-installed options.
The destination charge is not included in the suggested-retail or dealer-invoice price
and must be added to the cost of the vehicle. Car companies change prices frequently
throughout the year. If the prices published do not match those on the vehicle's
window sticker, the manufacturer has probably altered the price recently.
NA = price note available, NC = no charge.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) tests a vehicle's
worthiness in front- and side-impact collisions and rates its resistance to
rollovers. Front-impact crash-test numbers indicate the chance of serious injury:
5 = 10% or less; 4 = 10-20%; 3 = 20-35%; 2 = 35-45%; 1 = More than 45%. Side-impact
crash-test numbers indicate: 5 = 5% or less; 4 = 6-10%; 3 = 11-20%; 2 = 21-25%;
1 = More than 26%. Rollover resistance numbers indicate the chance for rollover
when the vehicle leaves the roadway: 5 = Less than 10%; 4 = 10-20%; 3 = 20-30%;
2 = 30-40%; 1 = More than 40%.
