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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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....

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.

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.
