Used 2006 Chrysler Town and Country Consumer Reviews
Horrible brakes, very poor gas mileage
I bought this van new June 06 has the 3.3 L v6 short wheel base model. The gas mileage is terrible 15 freeway i couldn't believe it, my wife drives the car mostly and drives with the kids in the car. The front brakes squeak and make grinding noise a lot of brake dust, get very hot and wear out every 20,000 miles like clock work. The rack and pinion power steering was replaced at 25,000 miles, passenger sliding door power lock replaced at 30,000 miles, transmission shifts hard you feel every shift. Dealer has answer for all, everything is normal, front brake noise and wear normal, 15 mpg freeway normal. I think the dealer is full of blank. last Chrysler i buy. Dont buy a town & country

Another Chrysler hit
Purchased in late October. We did so after considering all the major "competition" -- Honda, Toyota and Nissan. In the end, there was no question -- we stuck with our Chrysler roots, trading in a 1999 Plymouth Voyager for the '06 with features that none of the competition can come close to offering at such a great price. We immediately took it on a trip to Williamsburg, Virginia and were pleased with every feature. This will be my wife's new vehicle so it had to meet exacting standards! It contains everything she needed -- a more powerful engine, multi-zone climate, power doors/tailgate, CD/DVD, comfortable seating, attractive styling. Awesome so far!
A Great Experience
Although this is our first Chrysler mini-van, we have owned at least 6 or 7 Dodge mini-vans and have never, ever had a mechanical problem with any one of them. Our last one was a beautiful Champagne color and was a 2001 model with only 32,000 miles on it, we are selling it in favor of the 2006 Chrysler because the sto n go seating is practical for our travels.
Nice minivan
We have over 31,000 miles on the van since fall of 2006, and there hasn't been one issue other than a replaced gas cap. It provides a comfortable ride, especially on long road trips. Good power outlets for the kids. The van gets better-than-expected gas mileage on the highway: around 27 mpg (even with 4 adults, 2 kids and luggage in tow). When driving on short trips around town, we get about 19 mpg. Not great, but still good considering the vehicle's size and carrying capacity.
