We purchased this car in late Winter of 2002 to accomodate a 3rd child/carseat. This car has driven us to Florida, Texas, and Cape Cod. Not to mentions many beach trip to Michigan and daily sports practices and games. Highlights:
Power doors-Great with full arms and active kids
Leather seats- Easy clean up with kids
2nd row captain chairs- HUGE bonus on road trips
Dual zone heating/cooling- great feature!
Heated front seats- We live in Chicago...need I say more?
Privacy glass- great for backseat sleepers
Overall, this car has been a reliable and comfortable car for a busy family. We did have to install a rebuilt engine in 2009 but, that was in part to not keeping up with the oil changes which I have become diligent about. Each year, we have had a a few hundred in repairs, new tires, brakes but, still way cheaper than a car payment.
My only complaint is the rusting is more advanced along door frames than I would have liked and it is not as soundproof to outside road noise as it was when we purchased it. We did pay for an upgraded coating that has likely worn off.
If I were in the minivan market, I would definitely purchase again. But, I am ready for a "big girl" car vs a mom mobile.…

We thought about getting out of the MiniVan stage and changing to a SUV. SUV's ride rough, have worse gas mileage, and higher insurance. Also, the SUV's look like old Station Wagons! We stayed with the Town & Country because of its comfort. It has a smooth ride, it is great for long trips, short trips, trips when your not feeling your best. The stow and go seats and the towing package allow us to do anything with this Van that we want. We get strange looks backing a Mini-Van with wave runners on them down the ramp, but It Works Great!…
Best vehicle ever!

I love this car. It is so convenient. I love that the doors and the trunk automatically open. It makes getting the grand kids in and out so easy. The trunk makes loading groceries and anything else so easy because it opens automatically. The ride is smooth, very quiet, and comfortable. It is my favorite car ever.…
