Chryslers are the only way to go, I have owned 3 town and country's, a 1987,1995,2001 and they have all been good cars but on both the '87 and '95 had problems when it hit 200,000 miles witch is not bad at all. In 2000 I bought a Honda Oddesy BIG MISTAKE after a year of problems I sold that and bought a 2001 Town and Country love it!

Honda Odssey- DO NOT BUY ONE

The roominess inside

quality control,and high maintenance

I have to say that my experience with this product is frustrating and
expensive. The normal repairs are excuseable but when you faithfully give
your vehicle all the necessary upkeep and you still end up with major problems, such as air bag light on drivers side goes on and knocks out your
cruise control and horn. replaced battery 3 times,window wipers automatically go on, sliding door locks dont lock. brakes are replaced and
still dont work. all repairs done by chrysler dealership where vehicle was bought. I will not buy another vehicle from chrysler, next car will be
a honda.

Pooor assembly quality for such a high priced van

A very well designed van that was poorly assembled with likewise poor Chrysler care for their customers.I purchased this van in 95 when this new design hit the market. After several weeks I noticed one of the sliding doors wouldn't close properly. After meeting with the Chrysler representative the problem was determined to be a wrong spot weld on the bottom runner. Rather then correct the problem at the factory they simply aligned the door to make it work. This product should never have left the factory in this condition. Although the rep was willing to correct this problem, the solution he proposed would have ruined the structural intergreity of the van. Just stupid.

Even when this van was broken in, it never got better than 14.3 mpg in the city. On trips the highest was 15.3 mpg. And thats with a light foot and going down hill. It's a hog. With less than 16K miles on the van things were starting to come loose. I decided to cut my looses while I could still get a decent price as a trade in. This a very designed van but should be selling a whole lot less than what they want for it. Its just not a 30K car. If you're going to buy Chrysler buy the lower line up, thats where the value is. Otherwise stay away.

Transmission reliability

Caution! Do your research on Chrysler mini-vans. I didn't and at 66,000 miles am facing a $2000 transmission rebuild on a 1996 Town and Country LXi minivan. Others warned me and internet reviews are there. Thought I would be immune because of good driving habits but to no avail. The minivan is in great shape and looks very nice but this lack of reliability (and cost of repairs) does not overshadow this expense. I contacted Chrysler. Their response, "Too Bad". I will be trading this money pit off as soon as the repair is made for a more reliable vehicle that I have spent some time researching. If you own one of these vans, it is just a matter of time. Trade it now.

comfort, convenience and styling

transmission and paint job and dealer service.

Overall, I love the vehicle. I put a lot of miles on a vehicle for pleasure and business. Most of the time I have several passengers. The captain's chairs have made for a very comfortable ride for me and my passengers. I started having difficulties with the car almost as soon as I drove it off the lot, however. Rear window vent motors needed to be replaced when the van was a year old. The transmission started leaking at 30,000 miles and started bucking at 70,000. There was a leak on the passenger's side of the floor that took the dealer a year to locate and plug and I have had episodes of paint peeling off the vehicle. The dealer repainted the roof but now the paint is going on the sides and the hood and I am on my own to repaint it. I am pushing 200,000 miles now. The transmission and radiator were replaced at 176,000 and except for a minor oil leak here and there it is running better than it did 100,000 miles ago.

I drove Chevy Caprice wagons before owning this van. They ran well and I never had any mechanical trouble, but they were not as comfortable and they didn't look as good.
