Chrysler Town & Country

The cousin of the Dodge Grand Caravan is pleasant enough but has fallen behind the minivans from Honda, Hyundai, Kia, and Toyota. Interior flexibility is improved with the flat-folding second- and third-row seats that stow beneath the cargo floor, but noise levels have increased. This setup also eliminated the AWD model. The minivan rides well with a light load and handles securely. The 3.8-liter V6 engine isn't as smooth, quiet, or fuel-efficient as the engines in the class leaders. IIHS offset and side crash-test results are unimpressive.
