2008 Chrysler Town & Country Review Summaries

What reviewers liked most about the Chrysler Town & Country:

The Town & Country Limited is powered by a rather large 4.0L V6 SOHC engine with 251 hp and mated to a six-speed automatic transmission. A seven-seater minivan with the option of Stow N Go second row or Swivel N Go, my tester has the latter, with the third row standard as a Stow N Go. For those not up on the lingo - the Stow N Go folds the seats flat into the floor, an excellent way to quickly convert a van from passenger to cargo carrying machine. The Swivel N Go setup allows the second row to spin around 180 degrees to face the third row of seats - creating a living room type atmosphere.

The clever features start with the storage solutions. Chrysler provides two glove boxes and some cubbies in the center stack for small items storage. A total of 13 cupholders are found throughout the van, so the whole team has a place to put their A&W root beers after the little league game. The standard console has four integrated cupholders and a small storage bin. The premium center console is more impressive. It has four cupholders and a small bin on top. This top level slides back to reveal a larger storage bin below it. The lower bin also slides back. With both layers slid back, the top level moves back a total of 21 inches, which allows parents up front to prepare lunch for the kids and pass it back in a safe manner. The premium console is also removable so you can make good on your threat to go back there when the kids need to be forcefully separated.

Don't bring kids on the test drive-they'll want one.

-- Car and Driver

The Chrysler Town & Country, and its sibling, the Dodge Grand Caravan, are the most family friendly minivans on the market, if not the best driving.
