Awful reliability
Bought the car 1.5 years ago at 14k miles, and since then I've had to replace the a/c blower motor and power sliding door latch on the passenger side. The blower just squeaked by in the warranty period, by about two months. But the power sliding door latch will cost me $1143.32 including labor. Clearly, Chrysler designs components to last about 3 years, just to outlive the warranty. I wonder what will break next. This car is cheaper than the Japanese ones for a reason. In contrast, I have a 2006 Toyota with 140k miles, and in 2 years I have had to replace nothing but the battery.

Great Van
Great all-around minivan. Chrysler may not always have the highest quality interiors, but everything else about this van screams versatility, reliability, and value. The Pentastar V6 is a monster...same base engine in the Charger and the Challenger, among others. Chrysler is the only name in the business that does TWO rows of foldaway seating with Stow and Go. This is my third Chrysler minivan and won't be our last, even though they have changed the name to Pacifica...

Quietly sits in the sidelines
Update- After owning the 2013 T&C for a few years it became more clear that the transmission is just not that great. I never seems to know what to do, or how to do it right. Its been updated with the most recent transmission flash but still doesn't shift very good. Around town it does OK, but the deceleration feature when you let off the throttle is annoying, and while on the freeway and climbing slight uphill grades or easily increasing the speed, instead of smoothly engaging into a lower range or unlocking the TC to offer some pep it will instead violently throw itself into a lower gear which jumps the RPM's way up and bumping up the speed too quickly. Then because you're going too fast, it shifts back into OD and repeats the overly aggressive act at the slightest touch of the pedal. VERY annoying... But, if you turn on the "Eco" button then it will hold the OD gear much much longer throughout the throttle for a more pleasant less shifting experience. Although driving in Eco mode in town is horrible because the torque management is obnoxious when the transmission is clearly skipping gears to be more economical giving a weird feeling like there's a flat spot in the throttle. Strict emission requirements creates these problems too. All in all the van is enjoyable but the transmission is definitely the design problem of this vehicle...

Mini Van Rules! (Still rules after 9 years!)
I've had close to 70 cars over the years, including a 63 Imperial, 65 Mustang, 67 Plymouth Satellite 383, 69 El dorado, 71 Toronado, 77 El Camino, 77 Coupe De Ville, an Audi, Numerous Toyotas and Hondas, Ford Pickups, a stunning Silverado, 4Runners, Volvo, and the list could go on. Some were really stylish. The Mustang was a 289 loaded poppy red convertible. My 2013 Town and Country beats them all. It may not be the most stylish, but definitely the most versatile, comfortable, stable, quiet and has lots of quality. We took 2 trips from Arizona to the Northwest, about 3000 miles each time. I didn't go past the speed limit, and got an overall 30MPG on both trips. In town mileage isn't great, but most of my driving is highway. We bought it new, and now has close to 95,000 miles. I can't recall any repairs I had to pay for outside of maintenance. There were some minor warranty issues. It doesn't rattle, and the leather interior looks like new. Honestly, this car has held up better than our 2006 4Runner that we bought new. (4Runner also a great car - 2nd best!). You can buy these Chryslers dirt cheap. I just pretend I'm driving my old Imperial. The Town and Country has 283 horsepower, the same as a 57 Chevy with Fuel Injection. I love this Town and Country and may soon replace it with a Pacifica. Get past the stereotype soccer mom minivan, and appreciate these vehicles for all they can do. If that doesn't work, just imagine you are driving a luxury vehicle from a couple of decades past, but with the latest innovations, such as satellite radio, navigation, etc. And tell yourself how smart you are for not succumbing to peer pressure and advertising. Long live the minivan!

2013 a Must See!
I am not sure why the Town and Country is not considered a top class minivan. The base model, Touring, provides everything a minivan driver craves from the top class but has to pay an arm and a leg for! The Touring model came standard with DVD, Back-up camera and Power Lift gate! My Honda Odyssey EX-L did not come with these options as standard options. The dash is equipped with a lot of gadgets including Bluetooth. The kids have plug ins in the back for their ipods. The drive is WAY better than my Odyssey. It is very quiet. The engine does sound a little loud when leaving a red light but it levels out quickly. There were so many incentives that this van was cheaper than a used one!
