The Premium-Themed Minivan
When the Town & Country debuted, it broke new ground by being the first luxury-like minivan. Since then, it has found a comfortable spot in the market, combining premium-like touches with plenty of practicality. The Town & Country also happens to offer the most powerful engine in the segment. But with the current generation now its ninth and final model year, the Town & Country’s age and resale values can make it a tougher sell against stalwarts like the Honda Odyssey and Toyota Sienna, as does the fact that it’s about to be replaced by an all-new model.
Driving It
"Despite its aging platform, Chrysler’s 2016 Town & Country minivan can still hold its own against newer minivans. We are big fans of the Town & Country’s suspension tuning, which provides minimal body roll yet returns a remarkably smooth ride. The steering feel is also taut and precise."

What Owners Say
KBB.com reader and Town & Country owner Ohiodr1ver offered a comprehensive list of T&C pros and cons. Here are some highlights: "For most highway trips I get 27-28 mpg on the highway (You won’t get this if you drive like an idiot, but set the cruise at 75 or lower and you can do it easily) Power is mostly good, but it can be a little sluggish off the line with the AC on…For what I need a minivan for, this vehicle does just about everything perfectly… except the ride quality is frustratingly bad. It’s proven a great highway vehicle, but there are just city streets you have to avoid because the ride is so rough." Read more Chrysler Town & Country consumer reviews.
