Author's Product Rating:  Recommended: Yes 
Pros: Every accessory imaginable, tons of space, stylish, front seats very comfortable
Cons: Rear seat legroom, must remove seats for maximum capacity, quality of some interior pieces
The Bottom Line: The most luxurious minivan you can buy. A substantial improvement over the old one.
Chrysler invented the front wheel drive minivan and for many years held more than 50 percent of the market. In recent years, however, there have been many new entrants into this category. As a result, DaimlerChrysler's share of this important market ...

Pros: Roomy and stylish vehicle makes driving a minivan somehow OK.
Cons: It is still a minivan, although we are getting over that...
The Bottom Line: I would recommend this for anyone who has children and is looking for economic and aesthetic value as well as comfortable drive.
OVERVIEW
My wife and I recently had our second child, and as part of the preparation we had to look into upsizing our vehicle to allow for two child restraint systems. As you can tell by looking through my reviews, my wife and I have...

Pros: Versatile, comfortable and ahead of the competition.
Cons: Middle row passenger's can't get as much fresh air as the front.
The Bottom Line: This minivan is a multipurpose people-transporter leading the pack in the van wars.
I had the opportunity to drive, sleep and relax as a passenger last weekend in a brand new 2001 Chrysler Town & Country LX. After eating and sleeping in this vehicle for two days I believe I have a little bit of insight on this automobile. The 2001 Town...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Price, dependability, comfort, lots of toys!
Cons: sticking door, swaybar issue. at 130,000 miles, one window has started to stick.
The Bottom Line: If you can't afford an import, this is a good option. Ours has been reliable and comfortable.
I researched this van on this site before I bought it. For those of us who can't afford an import, good information is scarce. Consumer reports is little help, as it seems they only tell you not to buy an American car. For me, that information is the ...

Author's Product Rating:  Recommended: Yes
Pros: quiet ride, lots of available extras
Cons: can be expensive when you start adding extras
The Bottom Line: I absolutely love it. We tested and investigated 8 minivans. Town and Country kept rising to the top with all of the little extras.
Having 3 children makes a minivan a must - especially when my 11 year old is 5'4" and growing at an alarming rate. We decided to join the league of minivan owners this spring and set off on a fact finding mission.
My husband and I spent 3...

Pros: Very comfortable, smooth ride. Drives just like a car! Great features!
Cons: Only seats seven max.
The Bottom Line: Excellent minivan, smooth ride, comfortable, tons of room, plenty of great features. Definitely lives up to it's reputation.
A Little Background:
Earlier this year our poor old van's brakes gave out and rather than spend a couple of thousand replacing them, we decided it was time to go out and buy a new van. I had already done extensive research on minivans and even some...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Nice, Roomy, Quiet, Lot of features
Cons: Minor (see below)
The Bottom Line: Bottom line, if you're not serious about minor features, Take it! You'll love it!
I will not write the long way - as I see most other opinions are enough, and I don't have any specials to add. Very smooth & quite ride, good acceleration & braking, lot of interior space (it's the widest minivan, almost 79"), handles very well, turns...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Strong engine; good handling; versatile interior
Cons: No folding 3rd seat; CD player not standard; expensive when fully optioned
The Bottom Line: A good -- but no longer the only -- choice for a versatile minivan.
For over a decade, Chrysler's minivans were the champs, no question about it. Of course, the real question is whether the Chrysler vans were really that good, or if the competition was really that bad.
Look at what Chrysler was up against:...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Well-equipped, convenient, readily available, Well-designed (mine is 4wd)
Cons: Pricey, Mini-van stereotype
The Bottom Line: This van is solid and comfortable. Chrysler really does minivans well.
This van has turned out to be a nice surprise. Since I have 3 kids under 3, carseats and airbags have forced me into the minivan segment. I have always driven mid-sized German sport sedans or wagons, most recently an Audi A6 quattro, so I've really...

Pros: New Design, Layout, Features, Improvements over last Model, Price
Cons: Fold away rear seat, Some Acc. are pricey, resale, avg. reliability
The Bottom Line: Nice van for the price, options, design, and ride. Close to the top for minivans, if not on the top!!
Well this is my second chrysler minivan...I had a 99 Gr. Caravan (see review) but traded it for the New 2001 re-design Town and Country. Alot has changed, for the better! Lets hope reliability and re-sale gets better with this new generation of...

Pros: Nice ride and looks good on the outside (Have you heard of the trojan horse!!!)
Cons: Absolutely despicable quality!!!How can they keep selling this crap and stay in business?
The Bottom Line: Stay away from the Dodge/Plymoth/Chrysler family of cars and trucks. THEY ARE JUNK!!! Quality has been poor for the last 30 years. Will they get it right this year? HA!
I purchased the van new and the following things have gone wrong in the last 50,000 miles: The air conditioning compressor has seized up twice. The first time it seized was at 32000 miles and the dealer charged me $620.00 to repair it. Shortly after ...

Author's Product Rating:  Recommended: Yes
Pros: comfortable seating, powerful engine
Cons: many little minor repairs needed
The Bottom Line: It's a good van, probably would consider another one, but might look some more at the other offerings.
After having ridden in Ford Windstar vans, driven the Chevrolet minivan, and deciding that the Toyota was too crowded feeling I test drive a Dodge Caravan. My first & immediate impression was that the seats were extremely comfortable. On the road, I ...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Great value for the price. A lot of standard features. Lots of cargo/kid space.
Cons: Some "trim" problems. Options can significantly increase price.
The Bottom Line: I will be a repeat customer. Beats other minivans in price, comfort and versatility.
We have three children, all boys, and discovered that we needed to take two cars every time we took a trip. We researched SUVs and minivans, and found the Town and Country to meet our needs hands down. The rear seats may be configured for any...

Author's Product Rating:  Recommended: No
Pros: Roomy, Stylish
Cons: Price, Chrysler direct customer service, Poor option bundles
The Bottom Line: Look for something else
In August 2001 Chrysler proudly adjusted their shortfall projection to $2 billion. The comeback is well ahead of schedule. I can say, as a first time Chrysler owner of 5 days and 178 miles, I am not surprised they are so far in debt.
We...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Rides like a Limo! Not a gas guzzler like our Sport Utility.
Cons: Seems a little longer than other mini-vans and not great visibility to back up.
The Bottom Line: For larger families with a budget, this is the one!
Not since my 1981 Toyota Tercel have I been so excited about a new vehicle, and this from a woman who swore she would never drive a mini-van! (Might as well just stamp the word "Housewife" on your forehead! And no disrespect to housewives, I've been...
