Mixed Bag
Overall I am happy with the vehicle. Some minor things: Not enough interior lighting on doors, buttons, Passenger side door lock does not interact with auto lock. Can carry a ton of stuff and is perfect for family trips/ outings. Drive is smooth and satisfactory.
Better than Reported
Bought this van new. Its the second one. Had a 2001 LXi. It was much more plush than this Touring model. However, it has been trouble free to date except the front brake discs & pads needed replacement at 30,000. The 2001 brakes lasted 60,000 but they had original ceramic all around. That convinced me of the value of ceramic. Now for the good points. Most of miles are on the highway where believe it or not I drive at 67-70 mph and get from 24.5 to 31 mpg. Believe it. This van with a 3.8 L V6 gets better mileage on the highway than advertised for medium sized sedans. I must add that the 2001 van only had a electric window mechanism go bad and I was "talked" into replacing the water pump.

Brake issues
For the most part I have really enjoyed this van. The paint job isn't great. I bought it new and it seems like any small bump will chip the paint. My biggest problem is the brakes with about 75000 miles I am already for my third new set of front brakes. The back which I had checked recently are fine. Have read other complaints about this and think something must be wrong. Otherwise I really haven't had to do much with the van other then regular maintenance.
Solid and classy
A great way to get around. Interior design is extremely well thought out and very comfortable. Although I do miss the storage of a console, this design is better because one can move around with ease.
Great Minivan
This is an excellent vehicle to transport kids in. It has plenty of room and excellent storage places. It is by far and away the best value of any minivan on the market.
good car
quiet ride very smoth, good torque. this is my 4th minivan. the infinity sound system is great. silky smooth engine. my kids love the rear seat dvd system
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.
2006 Chrysler T&C Touring
Have only 3000 miles on it, but mileage on trips runs around 25 mpg and for over all driving, around 21 mpg. Very comfortable seating with Leather Package and fun to drive. Adjustable leg room on 2nd row seats is very practical.
minivan
I think this car is great we looked at others brfore we bought this one with four kids we love it has plenty of storage space
T&C Touring
Bought the Touring after looking at Dodge, Nissan, Toyota, Honda and Ford. After trading in a 2004 Toyota Highlander I feel it was the right choice. There is plenty of room to put people in the 3rd row, in the toyota someone had to climb over the seat or enter through the trunk, unless you wanted to take the carseats out. Very nice have had many toyota, and for the price I feel you get alot more for your money. The same equipment on other vehicles is 4-6 Thousand more. All in all I feel this will work alot better for families than an SUV with a third row seat because of the captains chairs on the second row.
Base model thoughts
VERY quiet! VERY comfortable! No bells and whistles but it serves its purpose.
breaking in gas guzzler?
We got our T&C for an early xmas present for me and I am very impressed w/ what you get for the money, total value! Chrysler offered a rebate that we could not pass up. I really wanted a sport-ute for the high up driving position but was avoiding the gas usage of a 4WD along w/ the high sticker prices on a foreign auto. We only have 940 miles on the van so far, so I hope the mileage gets better, but I fear the old "breaking in period" is an old wives tale. It was on the sticker as 26 hiway and we got under 20 so far! in town is naturally worse. how can they advertise it so far off? I had no weight in the van and didnt have the the air on. I love every other thing about the van, however!
Step up from Grd Caravan Sport
Recently purchased a new T&C - so far it has been very good. QUIET ride! Love the steering wheel features for the radio, the 6disc cd/dvd player - no more fiddling around to put in a music cd once the the kids have fallen asleep from watching a dvd, and the stow & go. Didn't think I would like the leather seats - but they have been very nice. Adjustable pedals! A/C works great and having front/passenger & rear digital controls are good.
New touring
I had before an LX model, but this one looks upgraded. Drive very fine and very good torque.
Excellent Minivan
Compared Toyota, Honda and Chrysler. For the money, after $4,000 rebate, the Town & Country can't be beat. Averaging 20 mpg so far after about 1,000 miles, with about a 50/50 mix of city/hwy. Very smooth engine. My wife absolutely loves this van.
06 T&C
Great mileage for a 7 passenger vehicle. Classy and a ton of options.
4th Chrysler minivan my favorite
This is my 4th minivan from the same dealer - this last one is my favorite. They have corrected the problems from the previous models (transmission). The seats fold away very easily, giving me the ride of a car and the flexibility to use the car as a truck when needed. We love the bucket seats in the middle row.
Better mileage after break-in???
I originally set out to buy a Honda, although I never buy foreign. I was determined to get better gas mileage than the Jeep Cherokee Limited that I adored! I also wanted more room. The Honda was overpriced with fewer options and most importantly was uncomfortable. The T&C was so plush and had every option to play with. I love the power doors/tailgate since I have an 11 month old baby now and my hands are always full! Hope the gas mileage gets better though. I will update after break-in. Other than that there is no other vehicle I could possibly like more, even the so-called luxury vehicles. I fit 2 dogs, a baby, 4 adults, & a rooster in a large carrier into this van wiyh comfort!
So Far, So Good
My wife and I decided on the Town and Country after looking at several different kinds of minivans. The featues, price, and reputation of the DCX family of vans is unparalleled. It has all the features and more that anyone could ask for.
Our first Chrysler
We bought our van on Oct. 28. On Nov. 1, we left Milford, Ohio for our winter home in Sun City Center, Fl.. The trip in our new van was very enjoyable mainly because it was very comfortable to ride in because of the electric heated and multi position adjustable electric drivers seat. It also had a new feature called Navigation. It mapped out the best route to our home in Florida and gave us verbal and visual directions all the way down. It was a joy to drive this vehicle such a long distance and arrive feeling as if our trip had lasted only about half as long as it had felt on previous trips. Thanks
Y BUY 4N??? Chrysler Van is the BEST!
Looked at and drove all of them, Finished up buying the Chrysler Touring. Very comfortable on the road, and the family loves it. DVD player for my grandson made a trip much shorter. Mid 20's on fuel economy is good, Stow and Go seating is super. Very safe for everyone. 5 Star safety rating gives much peace of mind. Honda and Toy are pretty good, but to get one equipped like my Chry is way too expensive. This is the best car I have ever owned, including several imports. Kudos to Daimler Chrysler!!!
Greatest Deal In The Industry
You can't buy a Corolla for what they sell these minivans for. This is my 5th Chrysler Minivan. My wife drives one, I drive one, my friends drive them. For @ $20,000 I defy anyone to find a more stylish, good handling and dependable vehicle. When I buy these I feel like its the greatest unknown secret. People pay $40,000 for a Honda van. Ypu could buy 2 of these for that.
Satisfied owner
Love the stow-a way seats.Drives and runs great and I like the styling.The3.8 engine is smooth and has very adequate power. My wife especilly likes the heated leather seats.
My Chrysler Van
thank You, Chrysler for such a good minivan. this is the second chrysler van I have owned. I have been very pleased with it and the way it handles.
Surprise I should say
I am very pleased with this vehicle, I got it mainly for kids and hauling around stuff. I must say it drives just as good as my car,and is very quiet. Love the stow and go seats, audio control on steering wheel,extra storage space in the flooring,dvd player, sirius radio, power doors, sunroof and tale gate.
Buy this vehicle.....
You will absolutely LOVE this vehicle once you own it!!! We liked the looks of the new Pacifica but their lack of storage space made us look at the Town & Country and WOW!!! What a great vehicle and the Stow 'N Go Seats are AWESOME! The Power doors and liftgate are great when your arms are full, and the Sirius radio and DVD plaver can't be beat. THANKS
Love my new van!
I bought the van on ebay with 25K miles for 14K. Satellite radio is a plus, good power, and 29 mpg on the highway, 23 mpg in town. I just bought a queen pillow top mattress at Sams and it fit in with a little bending in the middle. Plus room for all the groceries. I don't think the rigid box spring would fit...The Stow and go is great and very easy with the numbered tabs. Good acceleration, but on a wet surface the wheels don't grab, so you really need traction control. My next purchase will be for a touring or limited version. If buying at a dealer, I'd get the console/floor mat options and have them thrown in for free, ebay is tricky! and opt for the overhead rail system
great van
This is a great van. I like the looks of it, the interior of it. The handling is great. It's very comfortable. It has plenty of power, the stow and go seats are great.
Our third T&C
This is our 3rd silver T&C, which my wife loves. Pretty reliable except for battery life. Could be our fault for leaving the side door open for our dog who likes to sleep in the back.

Love at first sight!!
The Town & Country is one of the best cars i've ever owned! And i've owned a BMW 7 Series!! Like it much better! The power sliding doors controlled by the key fob, stow and go seating, all great! I will never buy an import again!! Get this car!
Disappointed
My van has about $46,000 miles on it and the A/C quit working. To fix it will cost $1,100 - not something I'm willing to do on a 3 year old van. Also, the sliding automatic door/lock quit working - that was $250 to fix. Just replaced brakes which seems early to me, but find it's pretty common with these vans. I was told that the outer tie rod ends should be replaced soon for about $285. I've owned several cars and have never had to replace tie rod ends in the past. This will be my last Chrysler product and the sooner I get rid of this one, the better. Gee, I wonder why American car manufacturers are going out of business.....
My Evaluation of my 2006 Chrysler
I recently went on a 600 mile trip an was pleasing suprised regarding the mileage I got. We also had 4 adults plus all the luggage. My previous vehicle was 5005 Dodge truck which was costing me about 160 dollars a tank. I did like the truck but the expense outweighed everything else.
Two in a Row
Country Club Chrysler Dodge Sprinter sold us our van...we love it...why... adjustable pedals auto open doors system-cruise control like not other. Stow/Go seats are the best....so many options...you can sleep lying flat...no humps to deal with....pet have more room to rest while traveling... dual air is great.............. Leather seats are easy to take care of. Chrysler Dodge is ahead of the other designers- We also bought a Sprinter at the same time.....and this is our second T/C van.
