6-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 This is our third Town & Country, over 170,000 miles, over the last 10 years. No major problems. I looked at Honda and Toyota first, came back to Chrysler. see full Chrysler Town & Country review

4-speed automatic FWD		 you hear about poor Chrysler quality and reliability, and a late-model low-miles used car like the one I drove proves that they fall apart too fast, or were never buttoned up well to begin with see full Chrysler Town & Country review

2002 4dr Sedan turbocharged 170hp 1.8L I4
5-speed manual FWD		 This car was taken to the dealership during the initial free maint period of 50,000 miles. I always provided my own synthetic oil as the dealership wouldn't use synthetic if they provided the oil. After 50K, I did attempt to use the dealership on a couple of occasions only to be shocked at the high dollar quotes for the most simple of repairs. They wanted $900 to replace the cam shaft seals. $1800 for timing belt kit install. The dealer attitude is that owner repairs are only done by fools at their own peril. My experience with this car has led me to understand that Audi vehicles do require more maintenance and attention than your average Japanese brands. It is a German car and there are engineering qualities that I admire. But it ain't a spaceship requiring a highly skilled scientist to work on it. Given this snooty attitude I experienced at the dealeship, I wish Audi (Service Reps) would be less about making a buck and more about pleasing the customer. Audi cars are fine vehicles. However, if you want to own one, try to do some of your own maint and repairs. I see too many negative comments in other review forums related to the high cost of ownership due to repairs at dealerships. I understand that some folks can't or won't work on their own vehicles. If this is your situation, I would not recommend an Audi. see full Audi A4 / S4 / RS4 review
