From the Back Seat

What a pleasant people mover. This Town and Country has spritely, smooth acceleration, a supple ride, and composed road manners. Plus, it's chock-full of child-pacification devices, so mom and dad can enjoy those characteristics in peace.

Our 2008 long-term T&C is my first exposure to a new Chrysler Corp minivan in about two years. Although I find the exterior styling more boxy than the more appealing swoopiness of c. 2002, this is a superior vehicle in most every way. I'm impressed by the obvious evolution of features, refinement, and functionality. As I've not had significant exposure to other, competing minivans, I can't make comparisons/contrasts, but it seems unlikely that any other similar vehicle is as practical, functional, and essentially car-like.

Don Sikora

There's a lot to like about the new Town & Country. Plenty of features to keep the kids entertained, and enough clever storage solutions to keep dad calm when loading up half the house for a road trip to gramma's house. The driver's seat is comfortable, and the driving experience is quite good for something this big. My only gripe as a six-footer is that there could be more legroom in back, even in the second row.

Ed Piotrowski

Town & Country is one of the few vehicles that is tailor-made for the long road trip. Its combination of power, comfort, versatility, and family-friendly features make it tough to beat, even at $41,000-plus.
