I personally drive an Acura RDX, and love it. My wife decided to look into the minivan section. I first off said Honda Odyssey, but didn't turn down the chrysler. When I first saw it, I thought wow. This really looks nice. Almost like an SUV. It drives ok, though the steering can be stiff at times, and fun to drive. Numerous options. Love the dual DVD for the kids, TV really helps. Swivel 'n Go finally gets them playing the million games they never use. We've had it for 2 months and love it.

I decided to surprise my wife on our 12th anniversary with a new T&C - one of the few good decisions in my life! The 08 has decent exterior styling (a bit boxy) but make no mistake - it is the interior that is gorgeous. Ours is loaded with pretty much everything. The neon lights with the backlighting around the DVD consoles makes it pure business class. Power 3rd row seat folders - brilliant. The MyGIG entertainment and navigation is brilliant. Fantastic ride, smooth even on horrible Michigan roads. Wife loves it, kids love it - what can I say - Dad is suddenly cool.

We just bought this van and all I have to saw is that we are surprised. This van substituted my wife's 2005 VW Passat Wagon (which we loved), but we needed more space for the kids. I must admit that I was concerned about buying american, but after seeing the price and the initial reviews we decided to give it a try. All I can say is, wow. I was impressed by the looks, quality and overall feel of the vehicel. It does not corner like a sporty sedan, but it is comfortable on the roads. The traction control and brake assist are Awsome. My wife has driven through a few rain storms and she reporetd that she felt the car's braking and handling in the rain we just like her old passat :).

After owning three Chrysler minivans we decided to buy a new van this fall. We looked at the Honda, Toyota and Chrysler vans and decided that the Chrysler fitted our needs better than the other two. The Chrysler has not disappointed. It is extremely quiet, rides well,and has plenty of power with the 4.0 L engine which has given us better than 20 miles per gallon since we have owned the van. The stow and go seating is great for carrying big stuff. So far so good and we are looking for a good number of happy years driving this vehicle.
What's up with the doors?

This is my first new car. I had an 07 Pontiac Montana and it was a great van. I thought that i would love the Chrysler, so we traded in our Pontiac and got the Chrysler. I think that it need a more powerful engine and better gas mileage. I don't drive on the freeway a lot, so that is even worse for the gas mileage. My big complaint is the sliding doors. My car has been in 3 times because the doors will bounce back open. I am glad for that safety feature however not when i am unaware that it had opened again and stayed that way all night. when we took it in they couldn't find anything wrong with it. Then they ordered a part, then they re-loaded the software. Now it's an 08 problem. What to do

OK, I am the wife of a car dealer so I have drove just about everything, and I do mean everything. I have always driven SUV's, that is, until the crossovers came along. I was hooked on the Pacifica's and actually owned two different ones. Well, kids and their friends and their sporting equipment took over and I had to have more room. I swore to NEVER drive a van! That is, until this one came along. I didn't know what I'd been missing. I'm now a mini-van momma and lovin it! I should have crossed over to van-land years ago! For 15 years I've been a "dealer wife vehicle hopper" but those days are over now. The overall appearance is so classy. I REALLY, REALLY, REALLY LOVE THIS VAN!!

This is our second van. Leased a 2006 T&C as well. Besides the fact that I had to put brakes on the first one after 17,000 miles, I was pretty happy with it. I think the interior one the 2008 was meant to be world's ahead of the last model, but it is not. The materials are very cheap. Fit and finish is deplorable. I don't consider this a launch vehicle, as this has been in production since the summer of 2007, so that is not a valid excuse. Gas mileage is terrible. We are only averaging 1 or 2 mpg better than my gas-guzzling Durango.

My third new Chrysler minivan. Still have my 1997 @ 208,000 mi.and running great. I waited a while to purchase this newly styled model. 4L engine plenty powerful and gets the same mileage as my "97 3.3L. Beautiful interior in the Limited. Lesser models are a bit drab. I consider it the Rolls Royce of Minivans. The only way to travel when creature comfort is a must. We are seniors with 2 minivans a car, 2 dogs, 2 cats. Go figure that!!

Being a buyer of 2 Kia Sedonas in the last 4 years I likely would have stayed with them had I not had a hassle over replacement of a transmission slightly out of warranty. Lucky for me all my maintenance was done at the dealer, and I had 5 service orders questioning the transmission operation. This T&C van is far roomier, very comfortable and it's power assist options are very welcome for the physically challenged driver such as myself. My powerchair lift was able to be installed to leave me 60% of the rear seat available if I don't take my chair with me. It is much larger than my 2004 Sedona and yet the mileage is about the same. I took the Lifetime bumper to bumper warranty. I love it

When I walked into the dealership and saw comparably priced Jeeps and other SUVs, I felt as though I should hang my head in shame for considering a minivan at $40,000. As it turns out, this may be the greatest purchase yet! I think I just purchased a living room on wheels. We opted for the limited- which has tons of extras- and surprisingly, really wasn't that much more expensive. Before the trade, I got this vehicle for a hair under $37k, and I am pretty sure there aren't any options that didn't come on it. The real reason we went for the limited was the upgraded seats, which are extremely comfortable.
4TH T&C

This is the fourth T&C I've had and it is the best. I opted for the stow and go as swivel looked like to tight for adults. I have big engine, radiator, and tow package so gas usage is high. Auto rear seat configuration is great as I switch from people to cargo quite often. Petty complaint is having to push the accept button on the screen each time turning on vehicle.

The Town and Country seems to get worse with every model year. I've had a Plymouth Voyager back in '89, then again in '92, switched to the Grand Caravan in 98 and the T&C in 05, now I 've got an '08. The name goes on but the quality never goes in, electrical problems just like in the '05 model, although I was assured they were all worked out. Yes, I'm covered under the warranty, except all the inconveniences and time from work I'm losing, this one is going back, I lose about 10K but I think with all the problems I've had Chrysler has another LEMON on its hands...

Ok, after looking at Honda and Toyota, we selected this one because of the features. Satellite TV, Dual DVDs, great Nav, etc. Neither Honda or Toyota could touch it. We took it down to Walt Disney World on its first trip and everyone enjoyed it. It was on the return that the "nightmare" started. This van has some electrical issues that are MAJOR safety issues. After 10 days, it is in the shop now awaiting replacement of some modules that control almost every electrical accessory in the van. Not sure if it is all of them or just some, but it does seem common. Other than this, we absolutely love it.

We leased at 2008 Chrysler t&c. Big mistake. The transmission went bad the day we took it home! Still hassling with Chrysler. You won't believe where this American made car houses some of its customer service. India. How is that for made in America? On the up side like the stow n go. That's what led us to it. Had a grand caravan on last lease. Really miss it.. Go for all the warranty coverage you can get here folks. You might need it!

Our troubles began approximately 2 wks after our purchase. The MyGig system has given us plenty of trouble. It has frozen up, it turns off and on by itself, the volume will go to 100% and then down to mute, CDs will lock up, the touch screen will not respond, the Nav screen will freeze up, and more. Including the hard system, computer and touch screen, we are on our fourth system to include all the software updates but to no avail. We are also having issues with the side doors; they are overly sensitive consequently they retract with the slightest pressure. If it were not for the issues with the My Gig system, the 2008 T&C would definitely be our family's all time favorite vehicle.

We have over 10,000 miles on our 2008 Limited, gas mileage averages 19 in town, 22.6 on interstate. Love the room, comfort of seats, DVD is great to keep grand kids happy. We love our van and will purchase another. Chrysler keep up the good work.
No Driver Leg Room - Bad Gas Mileage

Just bought my 5th Town and Country hoping that the new design was improved. I'm 6'3" and the driver leg room, with the electric seat all the way back, is so much less than previous years - my right leg is hurting from having to raise my foot to function the brake. In addition, this car is getting 30% less miles per gallon than my '07 T&C - under 13 miles per gallon in the city! I am very unhappy with the car and would return it, but the dealer wants to charge me 25% ($7,500) on a trade and I have only 1200 miles. Think this is my last Chrysler!

We bought the T&C because it has the Satellite back seat TV. If you have kids, there is nothing better to make your trips enjoyable. Traded a Highlander, and love the extra room. Looked at Swivel & Go, and went with Stow & Go. Ability to stow the middle seats is extremely handy. Pleasantly surprised at highway mileage, almost 25 MPG with 4.0 V6, about 17 around town. Wanted the Touring edition, but dealer made great deal for a Limited, happy we went with that model. The technology built in is amazing.

We just hit 1000 miles, and are happy with our new T&C so far. We primarily bought it due to the excellent price for the number of features. It's not as powerful and doesn't have the car- like handling some of the competitors do, but it is clearly better than the previous T&C. It's very quiet on smooth surfaces, but you do get quite a bit of noise from the tires & suspension when on broken pavement. The power sliding doors were the weak link on our previous T&C, and it looks like they may still be a problem area (one side is already making a funky sound and doesn't always want to close). Fuel mileage is close to the EPA numbers, if you go easy on the throttle. Kids love the dual DVD Players.

This vehicle makes a bad noise when you stop and turn car off. They stated it's because it's new, well how old does it have to be. The ac makes a whispering noise. The seat in the second seat is very dangerous it goes back to soon and fast. It hurt my niece who is 33 years, it bruised her, can you imagine what it would do to a 5 year. I'm really scared for my grandkids.

This is my 2nd Town & Country. I just traded in my 07 Ram pick up for the new 08 Town & Country Touring with Nav and leather. I drive a semi for a living, and get kidded to no end for my owning and driving a mini van. Soccer mom is what they call me! And I ain't a mom! The T&C is a great vehicle. It rides like a Caddy, has more room than my pick up and is fantastic for those trips to Sam's and Costco. We have no kids, but the utility of these vans is incredible! The Stow n Go seating takes the cake. The reason we have a Chrysler. With the seats down, you can put just about anything back there. Home Depot for a sheet of plywood, no sweat! A real mans vehicle!

I could not be happier with my Town and Country Limited. This is the first time we splurged on"accessories" in a car but it was all worth it. We just got back from a road-trip to Florida from New York. I have 3 kids (11, 9 & 6) and they could not have been happier with the satellite TV. We're not huge TV people but it is a great way of breaking up car-time. This is also the first time that we hit no traffic taking our annual road trip to FL without hitting any traffic. I give the superior navigation system and Sirius traffic all the credit. Besides the electronics, the car is very comfortable for both me and my husband. This is all of our favorite car ever- especially my children!!

We bought the T&C because it was a much better value than the Honda or Toyota models and I liked the look and interior of it a great deal. The gas mileage calculator that is built-in is flawed as I manually calculated it on a recent trip and it was 3 MPG higher. The Mygig system is great and the NAV system is pretty solid. I wish it had traffic updates outside of major cities, but I can live without. The interior is very roomy. The lighting in the van is exceptional. I would recommend this van to anyone. I think the interior is average quality wise - some nice things, but some cheap things as well. But the same is true in most cars - including my Toyota.

Probably the worst car Chrysler ever produced, definitely the worst car I ever purchased. One electrical issue after another, poor quality control, parts built to the minimum specs, very low rate/cheap materials

I bought this vehicle new with a 6 yr warranty. If it was not for the warranty I would have gotten rid of it a while ago. There is a brake issue that causes the pads to stay pressed on the rotors thus reducing gas mileage, wears the pads and rotors yearly. It has cost me about $175 year due to my ability to changes the pads but a friend has been paying 350-500 a year for brake service. Chrysler will not acknowledges this issue even though the dealership is aware and everyone else. Steer clear of this years model. Also had a few thousand dollars of repairs which was covered by my warranty. Once the warranty is up bye bye van.

If you have a Young family this van is wonderful, but, I was very reluctant in leasing a gov't owned auto, and I was correct. It didn't take long for a _aw built vehicle to start squeaking and rattling. Multiple issues with side-slide door, twice replaced automatic door 'actuator'. Returning for a trip to s. C. The ac goes out, after repair, we find out this issue is on a recall list. Breaking has always been an issue, serious under breaking for vehicle weight. We have received a notice of 'break warranty extension', but we still have to pay for the break rotor and pads, $100. Chrysler has known about this cheep parts issue and won't man up and make a recall. Don't be afraid of a Toyota, we're not.

My wife and I purchased the Town & Country Limited in September 2008. We needed to replace the brake pads within 5months after purchase. We then replaced the brakes and rotors again 6months later. Its electrical system has been giving us problems not starting for around 3 months The dealership can't seem to fix it. My advice is to pay the extra money for the Honda Minivan.
