"we had a 2002 and loved it. Tradd it on the 2005 because it had 153000 mi on it. The 2005 has only 63000. The t&c has more options, but we bought it because of the miles."

"Great van after I paid to to have the frame damage repaired. Carfax said it had never been in an accident. My mechanic replaced the leaking radiator, which had cracked under the strain of a bent frame from a front end accident. The front end damage to the frame was reveled once the radiator was removed. The car dealer I purchased the van from eventually paid for half the repair cost. Be wary of Carfax reports. Still a great vehicle."

"Purchased ours new. Rides and handles like a full-size car. Repairs: Headlight switch $47.00 part after 4 years,, sway bar bushings at 5 years, 60k miles, $30.00 for parts. Has been extremely reliable, all required has been regular service. Quiet smooth ride, a great trip car. Flexible interior allows me to carry bulky items without removing seats, then pop seats up and carry passengers. Never had starting problems in 0 degree mountain weather. Hint: Change transmission fluid and filter every 15-20k mi and it will last forever."

"I bought an 05 Chrysler Town and Country Touring edition in 2011. Even though it is used and 6 years old I am in love with this vehicle. I haven't had any problems and it is perfect for my growning family. I've already taken it on a long trip and I had plenty of space and it was comfortable for everyone. There is nothing I would change about my minivan except maybe better gas mileage. I will never own anything but a Town and Country minivan!!!"

"This is my second Chrysler, the first was a 97 Plymouth Voyager SE. The biggest change that I like in the 05 Town and Country is the Stow N Go seating. I prefer this to the strain on my back to remove the seats in the Voyager. I also enjoy the secure storage for things like a notebook computer when the seats are up. The 3.3L seems even more powerful in the T&C and has plenty of power for this heavy vehicle."

"We bought this van after my 1998 reached 90,000 miles and it was time to trade. The van is very comfortable, Chrysler seats are usually the most comfortable of any manufactures. The performance has been very good, I usually get 23 locally and up to 30 on the highway with the 3.3 V-6. The handling is like a large sadan very smooth and controlled,the exterior is nicer than the new boxer version,the interior design is very well thought out and it has all the bells and whistles that you would want. It has been very reliable so far and it was a great value for what we paid for it."

"We bought this van new in 04. Stow n go is great for trips with kids and dog. We also used it twice for moving from one house to another. There was a lot of space with the seats down. It drives like a full size sedan and is very comfy. The gas mileage is as stated for the model. So far it has shown problems starting in real cold weather. The oil light stays on (even after an oil change) and especially when cold. Also the ABS light was staying on (even after an expensive brake job). The airbag light also stuck on and the entire dashboard had to be pulled off to fix it (thankfully still under warranty!) Two front bushings went out after about 30,000 miles (under warranty) and now at 50k it appears the tie-rods are shot. (This may be due to a lot of road construction we can't avoid.) And the driver side power window motor has been replaced. What next? Maybe all the kinks are now worked out!"

"We bought it one year used with around 17k on the clock. The only issues we have had have been squeaky brakes, due to us using a non-Chrysler brake pad and disc. We switched back to Chrysler brand brakes and have had no issues. The stow and go is a must have, and the overall size is wonderful considering you can get awesome mileage on a trip. I'd buy one again."
