Chrysler Town & Country - What the Auto Press Says
The 2010 Chrysler Town & Country ranks 4 out of 8 Minivans. This ranking is based on our analysis of 26 published reviews and test drives of the Chrysler Town & Country, and our analysis of reliability and safety data.
Most reviewers praise the Town & Country's flexible seating and cargo options, as well as its nice ride, and feel it is a decent pick for anyone shopping for a minivan. Unfortunately, it has a weak base engine and it falls short of some of its competitors in overall refinement.
The 2010 Chrysler Town & Country offers a pleasant ride, enough seating/cargo versatility and neat features to please every member of the family. However, some reviewers are wary of the overall quality of the product. Edmunds says, "Despite loads of innovative, family-friendly features, the … Chrysler Town & Country is poorly made and nearly impossible to recommend." Some minivan shoppers will still feel the tradeoff of refinement for fun and useful features will be worth it. In particular, reviewers are impressed by the Swivel 'n Go seating, which allow the second row seats to turn and face the third row, with an optional table available for meals and games. Chrysler has also retained the Stow 'n Go seats, which can be stashed in the floor to enlarge the cargo area, but the owner must choose between this system and Swivel 'n Go.
The Chrysler Town & Country carries over into 2010 with no significant changes from last year. It is available in three trims: LX, Touring, and Limited.
The Town & Country competes with Minivan stalwarts like the Honda Odyssey and the Toyota Sienna. Bargain hunters should check out our Chrysler deals page.
- "The Town & Country boasts all the space, functionality, and available power a minivan shopper could want. Along with the Grand Caravan from sister division Dodge, these vans may not be as sporty as the Honda Odyssey or as well-appointed as the Toyota Sienna, but neither of those matches the T&C's and Caravan's blend of family-friendly attributes and dollar value, making them solid choices." -- Consumer Guide
- "… Chrysler Town & Country is not a quality product. True, it does have some unique and useful features …. It also boasts the usual minivan attributes of abundant passenger and cargo space. But that's not enough to overcome its serious detriments. The Honda Odyssey, Kia Sedona/Hyundai Entourage, Toyota Sienna and several full-size crossovers like the Buick Enclave would be much better choices for your family." -- Edmunds
- "While extra bells and whistles neither make nor break the vehicle, they do make it more appealing, albeit at the cost of eroding Chrysler's cost-advantage over the Japanese and Korean competition." -- Motor Trend
- "Final word? The new Town & Country has it all, and if it's not standard, you can add it." -- Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
Town-&-Country Performance - 8.0 (Very Good)
Reviewers like the powertrains on the Town & Country's higher trims but find the engine on the base model underpowered. "The 3.3-liter engine is a slug and doesn't provide any significant fuel economy benefit," says Edmunds. Read More
Town-&-Country Exterior - 5.7 (Mediocre)
The exterior of the 2010 Town & Country receives a mixed reception from critics. But most feel that it places an emphasis on function over form -- which, for a minivan, is probably a good thing. Motor Trend says, "These are not good looking vehicles. They're not offensively styled, but they scream 'function-first' from every boxy corner and character line. That's okay. With these things, it's all about inner space." Read More
Town-&-Country Interior - 8.4 (Very Good)
Reviewers appreciate the Town & Country's versatile and family friendly convenience features -- like Stow 'n Go and Swivel 'n Go seating. However, reviewers complain about the overall quality of the materials in the interior. "Interior assembly is mostly top notch, but hard-plastic surfaces and low-grade materials dominate the cabin and disappoint at these prices," says Consumer Guide. Read More
