Good driving position, comfortable seat, good views out the windows. Easy reach to shifter, radio, heater, easy steering wheel control buttons. Quiet at highway speeds. see full Chrysler Town & Country review |
2009 | 4dr Minivan, ext. 251-horsepower 4.0L 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 |

2011 | 4dr Hatch 100-horsepower 1.5L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
The rear seats are pretty good but the headrests are poorly executed. They either poke the passenger in the back or put their head in an uncomfortable position. see full Mazda Mazda2 review |
