What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2009 Chrysler Town & Country
| 2009 Chrysler Town & Country Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |

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 |

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 |
