2014 Chrysler Town and Country Touring

SIX TO CHOOSE FROM At first blush the 2014 Chrysler Town & Country seems like it should be the class of the minivan segment. Even the base Town & County Touring comes standard with a remarkable range of features including a rear-seat DVD entertainment system while higher-end models have enough goodies to rival those of luxury sedans. Although 2014 could be the current Town & Country s final year of production the venerable Chrysler still checks most of the boxes for minivan shoppers. It s natural to wonder why this van doesn t get more respect. But to get the full picture you have to consider the current Town & Country s checkered past. Before the 2011 model year when Chrysler unveiled extensive updates both the Town & Country and its Dodge Grand Caravan sibling were frankly not competitive relative to the latest people-movers from Japan. And although those updates including an interior overhaul and a new engine and transmission restored the Chrysler twins to respectability the van s basic design and structure remained intact. This explains why even the fancy Town & Country still goes about its business with a relative lack of refinement. There s only so much Chrysler s engineers could do with those pre-2011 bones. For some minivan buyers this might not matter all that much. All those standard and available luxuries are appealing and the van s signature feature -- the Stow n Go seats -- are exceptionally handy when it s time for hauling cargo instead of passengers. Plus the Town & Country s V6 engine offers a decent mix of power and fuel economy even if it s not as well-mannered as we would like. But despite its foibles a 2014 Chrysler Town & Country may be worth considering at the right price. With its comprehensive equipment and nifty Stow n Go seats the 2014 Chrysler Town & Country looks great.
