The styling of the 2008 Town & Country was, to put it in automotive industry parlance, refreshed—meaning changes are subtle, not significant. On the other hand, improvements to the interior and the powertrain are significant. And pricing has dropped. A rather harsh 175-hp 3.3-liter V6 engine and four-speed automatic transmission comes standard; better in our view is either the 197-hp 3.8-liter V6 carried over from last year or the new 251-hp 4.0-liter V6. A refined six-speed automatic is matched to these latter engines. The vehicle’s overall performance is good, but Chrysler’s designers still haven’t produced on par with their Honda counterparts. Where the Town & Country does beat Honda’s Odyssey—and all the other competitive minivans—is in features for a family’s various members. Second-row seats that rotate to face the third row, a removable table that installs between them, a dual DVD system that plays different media simultaneously, and a Sirius Backseat TV system, which delivers three channels of kids’ programming for in-vehicle use are chief among them. Keep in mind, the Town & Country only comes in a long-wheelbase model.
