I bought this vehicle new and immediately took it on a trip halfway across the US. There were 2 adult women and 2 teenage girls on the trip. It held all of our luggage and souvenirs. The girls appreciated that the 2nd row passenger doors could be opened and locked in place. They used this feature several times while we drove through various national parks. Since all the windows are tinted, it allowed them to see things clearly and yet remain buckled in with the seat belts. It's now 18 and 1/2 years later. The vehicle has almost 175,000 miles on it and is still running like it was new. I've replaced the brakes and serpentine belt several times. The rack and pinion had to be replaced just a year or so ago. I've done the required maintenance (oil changes, radiator flushes, transmission fluid changes, etc.). The engine has recently developed a bit of a knock. The interior is beginning to show some wear. The vinyl on the dash has a crack in it and the headliner is beginning to fall away from the ceiling. The upholstery and carpet still look like new. This is the first Chrysler product I have ever owned and have simply been amazed at the quality of the vehicle. I would buy another Town and Country without a moment's hesitation.
