Great family vehicle

by TayPay
Oct 31 '00 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Look, options, power.
Cons: Mileage.

We have done the "minivan thing" for a few years to haul the family (myself, my wife, and two young sons) around town and for vacations. During the process, we've owned a couple vans and have driven several others. The '97 Town and Country is...

The best minivan in its class, no questions asked...

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Great handling, reliability, and comfort.
Cons: Plain styling, high price for a minivan.

I bought the Chrysler Town and Country van because Chrysler has been a very reliable car manufacturer, and this is evident in the Town and Country. Not very many minivans ride like a car, and have the comfort like a car. I was very surprised at how...

Best van for the bucks

by black85l98
Dec 29 '02 - Updated Dec 30 '02 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Leather, Power, Traction, Paint great car
Cons: Windshield Wipers
The Bottom Line: This is the top of the line in Minivans. If you need the space but want the comfort and luxury too than tis is the car for you.

My first mini-van was a Dodge Grand Caravan. We had to replace the transmission just after the extended warranty ran out around 75000 miles. I should be upset about that now but I did put 229,000 on the vehicle before I sold it and the new owner is still...

I'm a Van Mama and I love it....

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Easy to drive, fits 7 people comfortably
Cons: Costs a lot to fill it up with gas, big tank but that could be a pro

I never thought I would ever be driving a mini van! Well times have changed and so did my marital status. I am married with one and only one child but love all the room for other passengers as well as visiting relatives.

I really like...

Good vehicle-none that compare

by walleyeman
Feb 26 '03 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Interior room. AWD economy
Cons: Not much power. No heated seats.
The Bottom Line: An excellent vehicle for family use in northern climates. OK for towing under 3000 pounds.

After looking at several SUV's we decided on the Town & Country LXI AWD. We really liked the ride-especially compared to the Ford Expedition and Chevy Surburban we compared it to. After 165,000 miles we are not sorry that we chose this van. We have...

Thrilled with my '97

by psimon
Dec 16 '99 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Rides great
Cons: None yet!

I have a '97 T&C and have been thrilled with it. Aside from minor annoyances (such as the wipers making a rare but occasional 'swish' without being asked, or all of the squares lighting up around the PRNDL display) its a great car.

It was...

They can't fix it.

by ppramsey
Jun 06 '01 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 2.0 Recommended: No 

Pros: Looks,comfort
Cons: Reliability, repair
The Bottom Line: Buy one but hope for no lemon!

I bought my T&C new in 1997. Since that time I have taken into various dealerships for repair only to be told the problem cannot be replicated. My van stalls frequently, usually while going 65 mph on the freeway. It just dies out completely, yes...it...

A Cadillac of a mini van

by stunt
Nov 17 '00 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Dead reliable. Very comfortable.
Cons: It's a mini van, and I don't even have any kids.

Bought used, with 37,000 from an airline pilot that maintained it well.
Was like new, except that the front brake rotors needed resurfacing (have since replaced them, at 100k after a second resurfacing at 65,000).
Like driving my living room....

Luxury and Practicality

by hockeymommy
Apr 28 '00 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: roomy and luxurious
Cons: light carpeting gets dirty

I bought my first minivan in 1997. I have always had luxury cars and was hesitant to buy a minivan but with three kids and lots of friends and carpools with hockeysticks, lacrosse sticks, balls etc... I needed more room than a car trunk was giving me....

Luxury Minivan, hard to work on.
by cjbrewer  
Mar 15 '04 
Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 Recommended: Yes 
Pros: Great feel and drive
Cons: tough maintenance
Looking for an comfortable minivan that has a little sport and a lot of luxury? You will find it in this minivan.
I have owned a LX AWD model with 70,000 miles for about six months now. I have had to perform some maintenance to it, so the honeymoon is over.
This is one of the best vehicles I've ever driven, but one of the worst I've had to work on.
It's a dream to drive. Quiet, solid, great visibility, roomy, 10 speaker 200 watt cd stereo, best traction in the snow, plenty of power, yet it gets 18 MPG in an average week.
Easy to change oil, but that's the only thing thats easy. It takes extra work to access the air box to change the air filter. When I go to change the spark plugs, the front ones are easy, the back ones you can't even see, let alone touch. You have to remove the wiper assembly to get to the upper O2 sensor. The internet has good information on maintenance through clubs and magazines.
