2010 Chrysler Town & Country Review by Mike Hanley

A minivan can get away with a lot of things if it has the right features, and Chrysler's Town & Country does, including imaginative seating options and compelling entertainment features. There's plenty to keep your crew occupied while you enjoy the open road.

The problem is, the Town & Country's driving experience isn't the most enjoyable. While it rides comfortably, the van's structure doesn't feel that solid, and the driving position is awkward. Whereas the Honda Odyssey and Toyota Sienna do more to reward the driver, the Town & Country is better at pleasing passengers.

The Town & Country was redesigned for 2008, and a significant change for 2009 is a more fuel-efficient 4.0-liter V-6 drivetrain (see a side-by-side comparison with the 2008 model).
