Used 2002 Chrysler Town and Country Consumer Reviews
Un-Limited Praise
The Good: The wife, kids, mom/mother- in-law (even the dog!) have optimum room. The Bad: The brakes should have a stronger feel. The Ugly: My van is currently being repaired due to rear- end collision damage caused by a charter bus. If safety is your major concern--my van had six passengers at the time of accident and thank the Lord, no one was injured (the van was extensively damaged unfortunately-now if they would only complete the repairs!)--I would rate the bumpers alone a "20". If a minivan is your preference, this is the one--whether in the "town or country" it truly is the "limo" of minivans.
great van
This has been a great van, were going to trade it in on a new van, but have decided to keep this one a while longer. We have maintained as anyone should, and it has taken care of us as well. Did have one condenser replaced along with switch in the dash, along with a minor transmission leak that was covered under warranty. Just returned from a 4500 mile trip and averaged 21.7 mpg, driving around 67 mph.

Not too shabby
We originally wanted to purchase a Honda Odyssey but after visiting the local dealer we quickly realized that the price difference was huge and that Honda was not willing to negotiate. Went immediately to the Chrysler dealership and got the last LX on the lot, along with the $2500 rebate, and have been motoring happily ever since. The DVD player we got for a scant $400 bucks is way cool and was $3100 less than what Honda wanted for the same thing. The warranty is outstanding already, 7 year/100k on the powertrain, and I added the extended bumper to bumper for next to nothing. Daimler-Chrysler...started the minivan thing and still has it kicking.
Best Minivan by Far
After comparing every minivan on the market, I purchased the Chyrsler product because of its many advantages. It handles and drives far better than any of its competitors. Faulted for lacking the fold-flat rear seat, the split bench is as easy to use and gives greater versatility for only a minimal loss of max cargo space. The comfort and ergonomics are second to none and far superior to most. And only Chrysler offers several important features like the removable, powered center console.
Are all T&Cs lemons?
I, have to say that this is my first experince with chrysler and will be my last as well. I purchased a 2001 T&C for my wife one year ago. This car has been a nightmare! electrical problems galore! I have taken it to the dealer on average once a month to fix odd things like the speed sensor, oxegen sensor, headlights wouldn't come on, air conditioner stopped working etc. the interesting thing is that three of my neighbors also bought T&Cs around the same time and all but one is experiencing similar problems. do not buy a T&C period.... mike
