Car Profiles - Chrysler Town and Country

CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY

The only surviving minivan from the Detroit three, the Chrysler battles with the Alphard and Odyssey in local sales. While it has that Stow and Go seating configuration and a 40GB hard drive, this car shows its age. The engine, although powerful, feels old. Look elsewhere.

The Good: Versatile interior. Can be considered affordable among its class peers.
The Bad: Unrefined, decorated rather than styled on the outside. 

Price Range: P2,780,000
Our Rating: **
