Moxie Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 We're going to look at a 2008 T&C tonight. Any reviews?? I'm a fan of Grand Caravans so I know nothing about the T&C. ETA: If you are looking at a car, and you google "XYZ car problems", it is utterly terrifying!! Bring back the horse! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrincessMommy Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 I asked a similar question a year or so ago: http://forums.welltrainedmind.com/topic/493898-used-minivan-opinions-please/ HTH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdeno Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 We loved our Town and Country. We "upgraded" to a Sienna and hate it. It is so stripped down. A friend of ours had the same opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashfern Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 I have a 2008 T&C. We love it. What questions do you have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KatieJ Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 A friend of mine just replaced her 2008 T&C with a 2014 T&C. She went looking for something else, but came back to the vehicle she loved for the past 7 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
higginszoo Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 My parents had a 2008 T&C that they absolutely loved. The thing started literally falling apart on them last year, though. They have a 2013 now, but don't love it as much as the old one (not that it was drivable anymore). They've had Chrysler minivans since the first year (1984 Plymouth Voyager), and the things have consistently broken down badly at about the 6 year mark.

JustEm Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Hey we're going to look at a 2008 T & C Touring on Saturday hopefully. Hope you aren't anywhere near me and looking at the same one :) I really hate car shopping!! Its too nerve wracking because I'm so worried about getting a piece of junk. T & C isn't my top pick for minivans (that would be the Odyssey) but if you like Grand Caravans then your good with the T & C. Its essentially the same car but the T & C is the more expensive one version Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't imagine a vehicle only lasting 6 years. That sounds insane. Do they put a butt load of miles on it in those six years? If my cars kept crapping out at 6 years I'd find a new brand to go with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TammyS Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Consumer Reports has rated Chrysler minivans as the worst of the worst for ages now. I wouldn't touch one with a 10 foot pole. I would look at a Toyota Sienna. They aren't as big on creature comforts as American minivans, but much more reliable for a much longer time.

gaillardia Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 I like our T&C van but we've had problems with the transmission three times in 3 years, had to replace it the one time, and this last time it was a small part of the tranny and easily repaired. I'm just happy to have a dh who can fix just about anything. We just bought it three years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
