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

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
