Smooth, Solid Ride
I bought this car 6 months ago. It has about 10,000 miles on it, so its relatively new. So far, the car has had absolutely no problems. It rides like a mercedes E class. Classy design. It hauls my 4 kids, wife, and a car packed with 2 weeks worth of luggage easily. You get good gas mileage and more than sufficient power from the 3.3 liter V6. Decent sound system. Don't believe the Honda reviews. The Odyssey rides like a truck with no shocks compared to my T&C.
hate to see it go!
now has 99,000 miles, gets avg 23mpg, had a problem with window motor, front suspension, sway bar bushings, so have $400 in "repairs" since i bought it new. Giving to my daughter and hope she gets 50K miles more! Now needs front brake pads after 45K miles. They are dirty and stain the wheel covers, Love the styling of body, think it helps milage. Handles great in snow (WI). Too bad the company quality has gone to hell. Wouldn't consider a new one today!

Transmission problems
For those of you who think your Chrysler mini-van is so wonderful, let the buyer beware. I have owned a T&C Limited ($38,000 MSRP) that only has 30,000 miles and 22 months on the road. Here's a list of repairs to date: Tranmission repair (<6000 miles), Fuel injection repair, power lift gate repair, power steering recall, A/C leak, and now at 30,000 miles the tranmission is being rebuilt. All covered by the warranty, but who wants to buy a new car and have these major repair issues. Never again will I buy a Chrysler product. Probably trade it in and write off the experience (not to mention the $16,000 depreciation in value for a mini-van) to bad judgement.
run away
Never again. Dummy me bought every possible option (with a sticker of 40k) thinking that I would keep this car forever. 14 months later sold it for only 24.5k because I couldn't take it anymore. Power door modules replaced twice in first month. Never did fix the problem. Engine idled rough for first 20 minutes every morning (dealer found nothing wrong and Chrysler rep. said everything was normal-nothing we can do) Transmission started slipping at 5k miles. Lots of nice features but mechanically scary. Avg 10.5 mpg city and 16 mpg hwy. Went and bought 2004 GMC Yukon XL. Much much happier.
Don't judge a book by it's cover
Bought the T&C new. The reasons I purchased it still exist: lux leather, ample seating, kid friendly, comfortable seating for 7, many cool features. Lots of bells and whistles. No reliability though. I am 55k miles in - I am on my THIRD transmission. My compressor is shot. I have replaced my front brake pads 6 times, rotors 3 times and calipers once (when they began to smolder). The power sliding door failed twice. The rear door has disconnected 3 times. I have had the car rendered useless and needed to be towed to the dealer - but boy are those heated seats and cupholders nice. I have learned my lesson. Unfortunately it cost me quite a bit of money. No more American cars here.
