2008 Chrysler Town & Country Review
The 2008 Chrysler Town & Country is redesigned, growing modestly in most dimensions and losing its short-wheelbase model. Town & Country is built from the same design as the Dodge Grand Caravan but differs in trim and pricing. LX, Touring, and topline Limited models are offered. LX models have a 3.3-liter V6 and a 4-speed automatic transmission. Touring models have a 3.8-liter V6, Limiteds a 4.0. Touring and Limited models have a 6-speed automatic. Safety features include curtain side airbags that cover all seating rows, ABS, an antiskid system, and traction control.

Three seating configurations are offered; all accommodate seven passengers. The standard seating arrangement includes a 3rd-row bench that folds flush into the floor. Available Stow 'n Go seating has 2nd- and 3rd-row seating that folds flush into the floor. New for '08 is Swivel 'n Go seating that includes 2nd-row seats that rotate to face rearward, a removable table that fits between the 2nd and 3rd rows, and a flush-folding 3rd row. Options include a navigation system, DVD entertainment, and heated 1st- and 2nd-row seats. Another option is a satellite TV system, which broadcasts kid-friendly programming on the DVD entertainment screens. Chrysler's MyGIG Multimedia system, which includes a 20-gigabyte hard drive for storing pictures and digital music files is also available.
