What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2008 Chrysler Town & Country

2008 Chrysler Town & Country Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2009	4dr Minivan, ext. 197-horsepower 3.8L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	It holds 5 people in the rear comfortly. It also has great utility. With the Stow & Go seats they all fold neatly into the floor. It even fits a 4 foot by 8 foot sheet of plywood -- I did not have to rent a truck from Home Depot. see full Chrysler Town & Country review
2009	4dr Minivan, ext. 251-horsepower 4.0L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Better seats and seating position than Town Car or Deville as a comparison. see full Chrysler Town & Country review

2007	4dr Minivan 180-horsepower 3.3L V6 4-speed automatic FWD	Very good support. Just the right height. Tilt steering column adds to comfort. Armrest also provides added comfort. see full Chrysler Town & Country review
2007	4dr Minivan 180-horsepower 3.3L V6 4-speed automatic FWD	The 2nd and 3rd row seats are acceptable for even long trips. This is not the Stow-&-Go version where the seats seem to be thinner, less comfortable. see full Chrysler Town & Country review

2008 Chrysler Town & Country Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2008	4dr Minivan, ext. 251-horsepower 4.0L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Stow-n-Go rear seats (rear AND middle seats fold flat into floor) are a mixed blessing. GREAT for cargo room flexibility but too small for best comfort for larger adults. see full Chrysler Town & Country review
2007	4dr Minivan, ext. 200-horsepower 3.8L V6 4-speed automatic FWD	inadequate thigh support, difficulty adjusting power seat into good position, seat bottom too flat and "lumpy" with leather/heated seats see full Chrysler Town & Country review
2007	4dr Minivan, ext. 200-horsepower 3.8L V6 4-speed automatic FWD	the drivers seat in relation to the steering wheel is off too the left a bit see full Chrysler Town & Country review

2008	4dr Minivan, ext. 175-horsepower 3.3L V6 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD	SE vs. SXT. The rear seats and bench are comfortable for 5 people. The SXT is exactly the same, but leather is cooold in winter. Both have more room than other brands. see full Dodge Grand Caravan review

2009 Dodge Grand Caravan Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2008	4dr Minivan, ext. 197-horsepower 3.8L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Stow-n-go seating is very uncomfortable. Rotating seats have no room to sit face to face with rear seat passengers. Base model forces one to get a center bench. see full Dodge Grand Caravan review
