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 |

2008 | 4dr SUV 263-horsepower 4.7L V8 5-speed automatic AWD w/low range |
Could use a couple of inches more leg room in the front, and we're only six feet tall. see full Lexus GX review |
