Maybe I’m lame but I’d really love to see POV’s of older vehicles like this ☕️🧐
yeah, it's interesting to watch POV of cars that cost below $10000
Nope youre not lame. I wish they did more than just new cars.
Z N I’d love to see an POV of an old square body Chevy S-10 Blazer or Ford Explorer or something like that.
Typical Auto Guy me too. For me it would be a classic Cadillac or Mercedes, something you don’t normally see reviewed
Jessica Anastasia I think you read it wrong. That was a compliment 😃
Call me crazy but I personally would like to see more "reviews" of vehicles from the early 2000's.
Crazy
Same

Anton Herr you’re crazy
same here
Whether you Hate Chrysler or love it, the second row has one of the most innovative folding seats.
Absolutely love how those seats fold
Stow n go
Never knew that was what stow n go meant 😳
But one of the most uncomfortable seats
Chrysler is shit that’s dodges work in a different logo
I'm still driving my 2006 Town and Country and love it to death! Runs like a top, easy and cheap to repair. In 14 years, I have only broke down once and it was in front of my driveway. A/C is ice cold, no rust anywhere. Just a sweet vehicle. Owned a Grand Caravan before this one and got almost 200k on it.
I have 2001 dodge grand cravan its the same of the chrysler town and country but has mqny problems and the front passenger side airbag was deployed
What motor did you have in it? 3.3? 3.8? the transmission held up ok? thx
It is not in death
You can’t say you love to death
@@ComputerGuyWINDOWS caravan
Probably a joke due to the day, but I'm actually glad to see this video
Yeah don't get me wrong i love watching videos on the BMW M8 and Mercedes s65 AMG but also love watching videos on cars we can actually afford
It’s a refresher from all the nice cars
I drive a 2018 Ford f150 xlt lariat
@@kristianoates4979 Good for you!
I know this is a joke, but I watched the whole thing and appreciated it
For whatever reason, I like how fast that turn signal is and I like the clicking noise it makes while it’s blinking.
This is by far the single most exciting video I have ever watched on this channel. My only regret is that I do not own one of these myself.
This is such a great car I remember being in one in my childhood and never remember a bad time in it and comfort/ride is good , I drove it a couple times and loved the ease of driving it , I want one but can’t since I can only have 1 car and need a more efficient car
Southbay LA I want one too
The official car of “Let me speak to your manager!” Of the 2000s
xD
Nah that's more of a Toyota Sienna
In my opinion it's more like the Kia Telluride or some shit
2015 Cadillac escalade would fit better
This was the Karen car of the 2000s though lol, along with a Tahoe or suburban.
Minivans are the best!! i love the town and country!! If you don't need a box of a truck, the cargo space of a minivan can do-it-all!!! Best kept secret!! And you don't need to own kids to own a minivan!! They can travel everywhere with great comfort and everyone can afford one! Yes im single and obsessed with minivans! lol
I just bought one tonite....still in good shape in 2021. Mine has dvd player still works great
I'm about buy one this weekend with 101,000 miles, very good condition
245,000 miles and it’s still going strong, these vans seem to run forever if you take good care of them
3:54 i remember that sound , my childhood 😿
I got my finger stuck in the door before hurt like a mother
Same. We had a Grand Voyager, and i also miss the sound off the door closing. Also my childhood 😥
Finally a quality car!

J Maq erm...ok

@@carguyns4348 is it bad? I just bought one today for 2k . Runs smooth

You mean a couple months ago?
@@YungPac Are you for real? Or you don't get irony?
Maaan, this is exactly what I want, not those new cars, review older cars! Old mercs, old GM cars, old Bentley's and RRs. You did it as a joke but this is actually what we asked for
Peaceful & simple tour / tutorial.. thanks for uploading this video... I enjoyed watching it.
Say what you will about these vans, but they are actually quite reliable and comfortable. We're on our second town and country. Our first had 370,000 miles on it when we hit a deer and Totaled it. It still ran great. We liked it so much that we went and got a second van to replace the first one.
Weird situation but stay with me - my summer jobs 2017 and 2018 were to drive around my families long-time dog walker (with 5-10 dogs at a time) who tried not to drive due to her narcolepsy. She had 2 of these vans, both beat to hell. 200k+ miles on both, blown shocks, interiors a mess because of the dogs, AC didn’t work in one of them, which was ~lovely~ in humid northeast summers. They both drove surprisingly well despite the age, mileage, and condition. I could hustle those vans around like you wouldn’t believe. One time, the brake booster crapped out while driving down someone’s steep driveway. With enough pressure on the brake, I was able to nurse it back to her normal mechanic. Don’t typically like these older Chrysler products, but those vans were something else.
Honestly love these minivans. Just bought one last week with 270K miles and it drives like a champ. I'm wanting to figure out the navigation on it yet as well as touching up some other things. Even at this day and age, the 05 and 06 models likely without a doubt can handle long distance and thats worth it if you ask me.
My mom used to have one just like this, and tbh, it was very comfortable. Road trips where good with this :)
Be glad you missed station wagons. Not comfortable in the least and you'd sweat to death in the rear facing back seat.
Childhood car..I know its a joke but I appreciate it. I really miss Jessie😔. Same color and everything.
Our 98 Plymouth Voyager is still running great, bought it new and have kept it up, still very reliable! Also have a 2005 Chrysler PT Cruiser GT with very low miles, both are very good and reliable vehicles. Chrysler made great vehicles! Where I live both vehicles are very popular and many are still on the road!
This was the vehicle of my childhood my parents had one and my dad just traded it in for a 2019 Wrangler he now has his dream car and he loves off-roading in it as much as I love following him in my 1997 wrangler trough the trails! However that Jeep will never replace the amazing nostalgia I get from these vans the startup alone of one is enough to bring me countless memories from my childhood a much easier time in life and that’s what a vehicle is really about its about the memories it gives you!
I actually like these vans. My favorite era of cars is anything past 2000. I do appreciate that you went back to a 2006 Town and Country, I know it's April Fools Day, but I'd love to see more of these older cars.
This brings me back, I definitely did lots of driving with my permit in high school on Michigan highways in my parents’ old 2003 Town & Country LXi 😂😂
Idk why but when I was a child and my dad had one I always found the big 6 cylinder soothing to listen too never loud just a low hum even when accelerating hard
This minivan deserves some respect for been that quiet, clean ish and fully functional for what we saw in the video. I hope we can see more like this early 2000s and maybe even 90s ordinary cars to get nostalgic😉👍 keep it up!
The people in these comments really hate vans yet this thing has more miles on it than prolly all the cars there owned combined 😂 it’s probably more reliable than what they’re driving now 💀 i love it
This Chrysler gen minivans(Chrysler Town & Country, Dodge Caravan, Grand Caravan, Chrysler Voyager) are very reliable and are still on the road today.
They might look a bit rusted, but lots of them have 300k+ miles on them.
Okay, us cars are generally badly constructed and so on, but damn, this thing was ingenious ! The flat floor when removing the seats is actually cool.
And it’s not ugly too, it’s got a okay face.
Burleon That’s 1952. Modern cars built in the US are junk.
Jokes on you cause seems like most of us enjoyed this 😂😂😂
This brings back so many memories from when my dad owned a 2007. Thank you for this video! one of my favorites!
Love these old Chrysler minivans, never really liked the 2008+. My favorite is the iteration prior to this one. My parents had a 2000 Town & Country Limited. There was so much that changed between the LXi and Limited in the '98-'00 vans, the Limited was so much nicer. The stereo was amazing, and ride was superb, although it did not handle well with the soft rear end. My family still owns the van today, Pearl has 243k miles, and is still the best riding car in our house.
Love the new Pacifica
My parents had the old model, it was so good. I miss this big minivan. Hello from Germany
All time best van ever looks and rides smooth
We had a 2000 Chrysler van back in the day. It was great for the family at the time. When we got rid of it 5 years later(74,000 miles) , it was like a Honda with 250,000 miles on it.
Did you buy a new car just after selling that old Chrysler?
Johnny Corden We gave my son my Mitsubishi, my wife got a used Camry and I got a Scion.
Just bought a 2015 T+C Touring in January. With the equity I had in my truck trade plus 5k more, I wiped out 14k in debt (3 1/2 more years of payments GONE!). My wife hauls the grandkids around in it, and I plan to drive it for at least 7 or 8 more years... Great vehicle!
This video brings back a lot of memories. I grew up from 1999-2010 with these vans.
Enjoy the ride smooth and quiet
It honestly doesn’t look to bad
For a van that probably had kids lugged around in it for 14 years
The pinnacle luxury touring cars
My favorite generation town and county, so cool that you got to drive it, these are major childhood vehicles.
This is my personal vehicle.
So amazing, you never see the Walter p Chrysler signature series vans anymore, we used to have a silver 05 signature, miss that thing a lot.
Those are some of the best low-profile folding seats I've seen in a car.
Stow and go. And yes they are slick
I like how this is supposed to be a joke but people actually love it
Better get it back to the trailer park before the owner recovers from their OD and realizes it’s missing!
Funny and laughed XD
Gold
Stow n go is a fantastic invention by Chrysler that no one else can match
This is my meth head family's dream car! Thanx for reviewing!!
That's no joke. You still see these things on the road, and they're always driven by the nastiest looking people.
@@donlorenzo5718 A 14 year old Chrysler minivan is the cheapest way to haul the product of too much unprotected sex.
@@larry8065 That actually makes a lot of sense.
Don Lorenzo because you can get the damn things for 500 bucks around where I live.
@@mikeytrotter2653 Meth head
My grandma used to have this van, this is making me miss my grandma
You just bought a running minivan more practical than an SUV for $750.
It might sound weird but if i buy one, I would swap a 5.7 in it xD.
I don’t think a 5.7 would fit in that engine bay
@@kingjlinza 5.7 definitely not fitting in there, you're right.
Dude that would be amazing
@@MRBOCHIEDA2ND You could make it happen, just have to do some mods!
Without say anything, you explained a lot. Great video!
Videos like this are actually enjoyed by a lot of viewers because while supercars and hypercars are nice, we much prefer watching videos of cars we can realistically afford and see ourselves possibly owning in the future (even though its just a T&C, this van fits in the general category)
Shitpost or not, that was a very pleasing and relaxing video.
I bet this thing smells like a combination of dried out leather, carpet stain remover and barf.
I have one and it does.
A lot of them I've ridden in smelled like ciggarettes
Milk and/or milk barf is the worst. You'll need to burn the car down to get rid of the smell.
Kyle Chellino My Aunt Christy’s smells like a meth lab inside because she has used it as one.
Shit we had vans like this at my school and they smelled like work and gass!
What a masterful turn at 7:53 😂😂
iMrParker lmao 😂
Walter P. Chrysler would be proud
I recently got on of these as a beater and for home depot runs. 84k. Am rebuilding the front end. Its good to see them go over 200k
This is why minivans rule. They're quiet, comfortable, hugely spacious, and far more versatile than an SUV.
Versatile what does that mean
@@mattarland4163 it just means u can fit more stuff in the back. And it's true these things turn into a pickup truck when u put the seats down. I've known people who have put quads and dirt bikes in the back of these vans. Definitely can't do that in most suvs 😂
Sweeet! Mine has almost 250,000 miles on it and no end in sight.
This minivan 🚐 was ahead of its time, feature packed and roomy
Remember taking that car as an Uber to Amsterdam Schiphol. Since it was early in the morning, it was one of the comfiest quietest cars I’ve ever been in lol
Damn FCA really hit it out of the park on this one! This is miles ahead of any other vans!
I'm pretty sure this was before FCA took over but I could be wrong
@@glitchedparadox7296 In fact yes it WAS before Fiat merged with Chrysler. When this generation of T&C was out, it was DaimlerChrysler, a frickin disaster. To be honest, FCA is even worse. Because now Fiat has put their shitty technology into some of the Chryslers. The Jeep Renegade is a Fiat 4x4. They're not even durable for off-roading. And don't even get me started on the Dodge Dart.
@@Elivayshon what about the new Pacifica
My favourite feature about these town and country’s and grand Caravans Of this year is when you open the sliding doors the parking lights flash multiple times
This was interesting I remember when my Grandparents ordered a 2001 Town & Country Limited blue exterior with the blue leather and swade it was a cool van back then. My grandmother traded the 14 Town & Country for a Pacifica Limited last year I find it really cool that my family has owned Chrysler's since the 70's yeah most of you will say Chrysler or FCA is crap but they do have a loyal following.
O did you guys know, we're in the year 2006! A time Machine braught us back!
It isn't a surprise that I still see a lot of 4th gen Chrysler minivans. Up here in Canada I still see a lot of them running, even though they look all beat up, but I see tons of them.
Their is a lot of vehicles that I want to own even old ones like this.
I actually think "normal" cars can be pretty enjoyable and even though they're not as exciting as a Raptor, a 911, a Type R, a Corvette, etc, most of them are far from being boring to drive. JOKES ON YOU WINDING ROAD MAGAZINE, we loved this ;)
Remembered my Dad having the 03 Town and Country Lxi the startup chime just unlocked a memory for me
Oh wow this is cool. Never knew it can fold seats like that. 😭
Fyncgygftyui
Stow ‘n’ Go seats 💺
The van looks quite convenient and adequate in my opinion.
The official I live in a trailer, I have 6 kids and 30 dogs, my husband abuses me, I don’t have a valid driver license, I smoke cigarettes.
LOL when you showed off the cracked upholstery like it was a feature ;D
My first thought: WTF? Where are all seats?? I was really amazed when he got the under the floor, I never knew it before.
My interior is different, but god I’m glad to see this car reviewed.
3.8 L for these machines is a rarity! It is a pity that you did not press the gas to the floor on it, it would be very interesting to see its dynamics. In General, I love these cars, because in the family we have a regular Voyager with 2.4 L. I am very glad that there are cars in perfect condition)
My grandpa had a red one and I always loved this minivan as a kid, always begging my parents to buy one... Now at 24 I am about to buy my own, I am so excited, 2006 model imported to Europe from America (Fenton, MI), because the european version of this car is just not as good as the american, at least for me... I got no wife or kids, but my inner child is happy to own this.
Old fashioned seats like in classic cars.
That van looks so comfortable
Whats the Nurburgring time?
It had 245k miles. Not bad interior condition
Love these older vehicles vids! You should do more!
Really love where Chrysler went with this new 2020 model. Defiantly gonna check one out soon. Thanks for the review!
Runs on pure propane.
THIS IS A VERY NICE VAN
I'm not a Chrysler fan anymore after having owned 5 of them, and none of them lasting more than a year. I have to admit that these vans were ahead of their time. My mom owns one and its actually a pretty nice driving vehicle. She has had no major issues with it after 2 years, and she seems to like it. My foster mom also owned one just like this one, except silver. They loved it! It was comfortable, it was loaded with features, and it never broke down on us! If Chrysler made one good car, it is this van. Though they do have a stereo type about them now. Almost every one of them has been smoked in, or vomited in at some point, kinda like Chevy Blazers, and Oldsmobile Bravada's lol!
I love this body style! The newer T/c look like boxes with wheels! Spare tire under the car - not in Wisconsin!
My grandpa had one like this with the same wheels and I loved it. So comfy
Looks like it’s in good shape for its age!
WTF......This is great! lol I have owned a few of these including our 2013
Wow Joe! Nice seeing you here!
@@kylechellino2579 Kyle!
@@JoesGoldenGarage What's up man!
If only I could afford such a brilliant and amazing drivers car. Maybe some day, or year I suppose :(
Lol
I had a 2005 Dodge Caravan short wheelbase SE. First car that emitted smoke from under the hood that I owned. It had great torque though. Made many unintentional stripes leaving the grocery store parking lot
I'm totally blind, so I was so confused when my computer read me the tytle. But then I listened and I'm like, shit! Good van!
All Things Considered...This van seems to be running pretty good for the year, make, and mileage of it. Shout to Chrysler T&C.
Love it XD. Driven one of these before. They're about as fun to drive as a freaking toaster.
Had to read this twice cause I thought u said roadster at first😂
When I was a kid in the 90's (yes I know this is a 2000's something) none of my friends had minivans. Pontiac GrandAm, Pontiac Bonneville, Oldsmobile Achieva 88, Ford F-250 quad cab, Ford Escort. My mom had a Toyota Camry lol.
Is it weird that I actually enjoyed this video??
I get this is probably a joke but I would have loved to watch you do a 0-60 and hustle it a bit!
It ain't got much for power. It's pretty doggy
Kyle Chellino hey, it’s more fun to drive a slow car fast than a fast car slow. 🤷🏻♂️
Have you seen people drive corvettes like grandmas?
Kyle Chellino yes
It seems as though those vans are natorius for exhaust problems
Hey don’t care what anyone says, I still drive my 2005 TC with the 3800. Sure I had to put some lifters in it. Still drives just fine and I can move quite a few people and lots of room to move stuff too.
I’m surprised the car was able to run the entire length of this video without breaking down.
Only when not taken care of. Transmission fluid changes etc
It's really about just taking care of your car it can last
Anita Weiner you take care of your car and your car will take care of you :)
this video is a blessing..
