Cheap car for a reason

We leased the T&C two years ago and we hate the car as much as we think a great car to have. The car is very practical and we love that aspect but it is noisy and cheap built. The ride is extremely uncomfortable with the outside noise makes you hate driving the car or go a long distance trips which that is why we bought since we have two kids age 4 & 2.. I had a home improvement project and this car was a great car to haul things without worrying about the weather.with the stow and go makes it to convenient. I wish they put more effort in insulating the cabin from the exterior noise, it would've been a great car to have for the family. We can't wait till the end of the lease to replace it with crossover vehicle. not to mention that is a very boring car to drive.

My 9th minivan

Now have 20k miles on my 2012 T&C Great comfort and interior for family use. This is my 9th minivan and the electric doors and tailgate combined with the Stow & Go seating make this a convenient setup for hauling the grandkids in their booster and child seats. Easy to get the seats in and out when necessary. I'm 6'4" and 285 lbs so a minivan is a preferred vehicle for me. This one is comfortable and the center console allows me to plug in the cell phone and bluetooth sync it to the radio unit. The dialing is simple and works with the phonebook in the phone to make it easy to make calls while on the go.

Happy with another reliable Chrysler mini-van

This 2012 Town & Country replaces a 2003 Dodge Caravan which has been passed down in the family. This 2012 is bigger, more powerfull and greatly improved and full of usefull features. Stow-n-go seating being the most usefull. The grandkids like the DVD in back. Lots of airbags, ABS, traction and stability controls & power doors. Blue-tooth, NAV and built in AC/DC inverter too. This is our 3rd Chrysler minivan since 1994. We've never had problems with these vans and the 2012 looks like it will be no different. Love it. Can't see spending the extra $$$ for its Japanese competition.

Nice Family vehicle

Nice driving, comfortable, and safe van. All side doors and tail lift gate are electric. The rear camera comes on when ever the car's tx is put into reverse. This is really a helpful feature especially if kid play in the area. We bought the car from Blue Knob Sales - they are extremely nice folks.

TOWN & COUNTRY IS WONDERFUL

I'VE PURCHASED AN OFF LEASE AND LOVE IT. THE MODEL IS A TOURING WITH LEATHER, DVD AND IN DASH BACK-UP CAMERA. I DID'T GET THE NAVIGATION BUILT IN THAT'S YET ANOTHER TOURING UPGRADE/MODEL SELECTION. THIS MODEL IS AVERAGING PLUS 22 mpg. I LOOK FORWARD TO TAKING A ROAD TRIP TO SEE IF IT GETS UPWARDS OF THE 25-26 mpg THAT'S POSSIBLE WITH THIS V6 FROM DODGE. I PURCHASED IN LAKECITY FLORIDA AT ROUNDTREE CHEVOLET. THEY WERE GREAT TO WORK WITH TOO.

I like it but it could be improved

Driver's leg room could be iimproved. The Dodge Grand Caravan had more leg room in it than the T & C

Most Comfortable Convenient Car

We bought this car for my Father who had driven a suburban for over 12 years. He drove this as a rental when we got married last year and feel in love with it. We desperately needed a new car with all the conveniences and this car has it all. And it drives so nice not like a truck. The automatic rear and side doors are awesome. My Dad loves this vehicle as do we.

LOVE our 2nd T&C Limited

I have only put the first 340 miles on this new '12 van; but, compared to my (positive) experience the last three ownership years with my wife's 2006 T&C Limited, I think that Chrysler has done a GREAT job of updating the engineering and adding features on this 2012 model. The Sto & Go seating has always been very handy. Now, Chrysler has added keyless entry, the vehicle information read-out is located in the center of the instrument cluster, remote start, blind spot detection system, Parkview rear back-up camera, the Media Center 730N system and a phenominal 9 speaker sound system (in the Limiteds only). Being an older gentleman (early 60's), it's going to take me a while to learn all of the electronic capabilities of the 730N system; but, I am looking FORWARD to it ! All the above features are standard equipment in the Limited model. (My van is the basic Limited model with NO options ordered with it !) The engine seems to preform well with plenty of power for passing, if needed. I think these Chrysler T&C's are a great value con- sidering all the features that are packed into them. I highly recommend them. My '12 T&C Limited is a joy to drive !

Great van, but...

This is my second Chrysler van, bought new in July 2012. My first was a 2000 Grand Caravan Sport. I bought a new 2012 T&C Limited with all the bells and whistles. My one and only complaint is that the 6-speed transmission is very "shift happy". When driving between 45 and 65 mph, the transmission continuously shifts between (I suspect) 4th and 6th gears. Very annoying and is taking some getting used to compared to my previous van which had a very smooth powertrain. That said, I really love this van, and would repeat my purchase; largely due to the stow and go seats and twin DVD players. Great family vehicle!
