2010 Chrysler Town & Country Limited Review

Fun for the Whole Family

In short: A spacious and utilitarian family van.

With a roomy interior capable of seating seven comfortably and a cargo capacity only slightly less than that of a freight tanker, this mighty minivan is doing its best to prove its relevance in a market saturated with SUVs and crossovers and all things un-van-like—and it's working. The Town & Country's intelligent design, which incorporates fold-flat second- and third-row seats and floor storage bins for maximum utility, is sure to be a boon for busy parents, while kids will certainly get a kick out of the available dual-screen DVD entertainment system.

This family-friendly approach also carries over into the Town & Country's emphasis upon safety. Featuring standard side curtain airbags in all rows and optional blind spot and cross path detection systems, the Town & Country is not only designed to protect you in case of an accident, but to actively prevent the occurrence of such an event. Other standard safety features such as a rearview camera and automatic high-intensity discharge headlamps will also help ease the minds of anxious moms. While the Town & Country may not offer the sleek looks or off-road abilities of its sports utility and crossover cousins, it is likely to remain a favorite among families due to its utility, dependability and excellent value.
