2000 chrysler town & country review this car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale. Luxury-sedan comfort in a spacious minivan. introductionchrysler invented the minivan in the early 1980s. Ten years later, it invented the luxury minivan, the town & country. As we begin the new millennium, the town & country continues to set the pace for the minivan pack, whether we're talking about styling, comfort, spaciousness or ride quality. in fact, the chrysler town & country's refinements and amenities are so plentiful that it can square off with many luxury sedans. Voyager and caravan are available in both long- and short-wheelbase versions. Town & country is based on the long-wheelbase chassis. (for 2000, chrysler has dropped the short-wheelbase sx from their town & country stable.) town & country is available with either front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. It comes standard with a long list of luxury features. Now that the lx is the entry-level model, the trim-level distinctions between the lx and lxi are greater than in years past. Retail prices for front-wheel-drive (fwd) models: lx 26,360), lxi 28,415), limited 34,265). Adding in the $590 destination charge brings the price up to $35,000. walkarounda 3. 3-liter flex fuel v6 engine, which can use gasoline or ethanol, is standard on the lx and lxi-except in california, new york, massachusetts or vermont, where it is not available. A 3. 8-liter v6 is optional on the lxi front-wheel-drive model, standard on the lxi all-wheel drive edition, and standard on the limited. The lx and lxi weigh in at 4,045 pounds, while limited tips the scales at 4,189 pounds. All-wheel drive adds another 300 pounds. the limited's sporty visage is, at once, elegant and slightly imposing. A steeply raked windshield blends into the sloping hood, finished with a sweeping grille and winged chrysler badge. An accident response system unlocks the doors and turns on the interior lights whenever an airbag deploys. interiorwe can't say enough about how much we love the sliding doors on both sides of the town & country. They improve access considerably. Heated leather front seats (standard on the limited and optional on the lxi) are a big plus in michigan and other chilly regions. for hauling smaller loads, the seat backs can be folded down yielding enough room for the proverbial sheet of plywood. For bigger loads, the back seats can be removed, and the center-row bucket seats can be quickly unlatched and pulled through the sliding side doors. A firm yank on a lever pops the third-row bench seat up onto a set of wheels, allowing it to be rolled backwards and removed via the tailgate. Getting into the back seats is easy, and those seats are quite comfy. The rear bench can seat two adults or three children. the town & country is one of the most spacious minivans on the market, with 163. 4 cubic feet of cargo space. By comparison, gm's extended minivan family, the chevrolet venture, oldsmobile silhouette and pontiac montana, offer just 156 cubic feet. Chrysler tuned the suspension to ride like a sedan. Its rigid chassis makes it feel solid, an important benefit in a taller vehicle, whether it's a minivan or a sport-utility. the town & country's rack & pinion power steering impressed us with its responsiveness in quick lane-change maneuvers. The road-noise issue--long a problem with all minivans--was abated when chrysler redesigned the town & country in 1996. So the town & country delivers a ride that's more serene than most minivans. The smaller 3. 3-liter engine, which puts out 158 horsepower and 203 foot pounds of torque, certainly provides enough boost for the short-wheelbase dodge caravan and chrysler voyager, but we recommend the 3. 8-liter engine for the longer, heavier town & country models. the 3. 8-liter engine packs more than enough thrust when accelerating from a dead stop. The extra horses were definitely appreciated in freeway merging and passing situations.
