Used 2008 Chrysler Town and Country Consumer Reviews
Best Chrysler mini-van yet
My wife and I have had mini-vans for 16 years. We've bought GM & Chrysler and this Town and Country Touring is the best one yet. Great features for the price and good, rugged looks. 6 speed transmission is a big plus. Much better gas-mileage than our 2001 LX with the 3.3 liter. Averaging anywhere from 24-27.9 MPG on the /HYWY. Computer's estimated mpg is off, however - anywhere from 0.7-4 mpg, reliable so far. Power doors are improved over previous models. I am 6'5" and there is plenty of room for me. Love the stow-in-go seats. Can haul most anything. Just fold and forget! SAT radio is great as we live in a rural community. There are some cheep plastic parts but over-all quality is good.
Nice van, but it needs help
I really like the looks and convenience features of the van. It has a solid feel on the road and a good ride. I am disappointed in the initial quality. We have had several electrical issues; dashboard blackouts, radio failure, a "clicking" noise in the upper console above the second row seats. 28 days in the shop within 6 mos. of ownership. Most problems were fixed with updated control modules but the "click" is still there and they can't figure it out. Gas mileage is not as good as rated, 20 to 22 mpg is the best it delivered on a rating of 24. If Chrysler could deliver better quality their designs would be tough for the competition to beat. Nice vehicles, but quality suffers.

No wonder they're bankrupt
We bought the van shortly after the arrival of our 2nd child. We figured we needed the room and went with the most popular model out there. One week after ownership, the tire monitor goes off and there's a leak in the rim. Dealer replaces the monitor. Week later, its back. Dealer fixes it. 2 months later, its back. Meanwhile, the side door has stopped closing all the way. Dealer takes 4 stabs at it before ordering all new mounting parts for the door. 15,000 miles into ownership and the brakes and rotors are so far gone that they are in need of $300 replacement. Dealer tells me its common for this van and I can expect that every $15,000 miles. Value dropped so now I cant sell it. Yay Chrysler
2008 Town & Country Minivan Stinks
What stinks? My new 2008 Chrysler Minivan. While driving home after purchase back hatchet came open without any warning. After driving turned engine off and key would not release. Back passenger doors do not close properly have to use handle most of the time. Brakes & rotor went out at 22,000 miles. Rotten egg smell. Air conditioning stopped working. Have taken to dealer over 10 times and they can not fix or duplicate any of the problems the first time. It takes them at least 4 times to get anything addressed. Dealership has been no help. And Chrysler has been even less. Way to go Chrysler. I will never buy another Chrysler product. Why can't you fix anything the 1st time? Chrysler stinks
Number 4 since 1991
The new T & C Touring is sweet. My grandaughter wants to go in "Papa's Car whenever we go on a trip. The entertainment system is tops. We went to Florida shortly after we got the van. On the trip home from Dothan Ala. to Columbus Ga. We got 26.3 mpg! Not bad for a vehicle the size of a T & C. We were sold on Chrysler before we bought this one. We had 3 before this. Go get yourself one. You'll love it
