If maximum resale value and an untarnished reputation for bulletproof reliability are your top priorities, you should probably forgo the frills and head to your Honda or Toyota dealer. Only time will
If you haven't driven a Town & Country since its transformation in 2011, it's worth some time behind the wheel. The revamped suspension provides excellent road manners, with precise steering, minimal body roll and a velvety ride. Chrysler's new 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 has power in reserve and can move a fully loaded Limited model without making you wish for a HEMI V8. The engine and transmission work fairly seamlessly, never feeling overburdened or indecisive, and the dash-mounted gear selector is easy to master. Noise levels inside the Town

Review this carBy jennaandboys (VA) on Friday, June 14, 2013
I own this car - My approximate mileage is 80,000
overall rating 10 of 10rating detailsPros: "*VERSATILITY*, comfort, mpg, roomy, can't beat it!"
Cons: "Make sure you go w/big engine or deal w/sluggish"
Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10
"Only gave slightly lower marks for driving dynamics due to my van having the smaller engine (wish I would have gone with the larger one, as this is a little slow to pickup on interstate). Other than that, I love it! The rear power windows are awesome. Has every option I need, and it's a base model! I know you get the "but it's a minivan" judgement... until people ride in it and realize just how versatile and comfortable it is. The stow n go in 2nd and 3rd rows is a LIFESAVER (I can't stress this enough)! I can put the rear seats up or down in about 10 seconds flat, and have storage under the 2nd row floor for umbrellas, backpacks, basketballs, or whatever. My 10yr old loves that his seat reclines (something our old T&C didn't offer). I don't have the power doors or liftgate on this one like I did on my 1st, but I still love my van anyway. Plus, there's plenty of room for the kids AND the lab! :) And the best thing about a minivan.... young kids can open their own doors and you NEVER have to worry about them accidentally hitting the car next to you! Can park in tight spots and still get out because the doors slide back. Gotta love the mom-mobile! :) I recommend this vehicle so highly, I recently helped my sister-in-law buy her Town&Country, exact same color as mine! ~ 32yo mom of 3 sons and 2 step-sons"

Cons: "Boxy appearance."
Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10
"Appearance is a bit boxy, but in terms of function, reliability, and comfort, it's a TEN! I've owned Fords (which I love), Chevys, Chryslers, a Plymouth, Pontiacs, a BMW, a Volvos, and a Fiat. This car competes with all of them. Problem free, except the direction light on the right mirror keeps falling off. Could be poor design, or parking lot damage. Either way, annoying as can be. Buy the maintenance package...worth every nickel."
