ICOTY Awards - Minivan
Most
Compatible: Chrysler Town & Country
 We’ve
come to expect more from minivans than shuttle service for
soccer parents. We want it all. And if you think about it,
minivans as a whole have the most room inside for all those
various assignments we may give to our vehicles. So why
should we settle for seven seats, big windows and 44 oz.
cupholders?
Truly,
the Chrysler Town and Country is the pinnacle of all minivans.
Others have tried to mimic it, by stacking out their products
with TVs and leather seats, but the T&C was designed
as a luxury minivan from the beginning. Among it myriad
attribute, besides its obvious people-moving capabilities,
are things like easy entry second row chairs, seats that
fold flat to accommodate that proverbial 4x8 sheet of
plywood (with the rear door closed, thank you) and three-zone
climate controls to make sure everyone can find a comfortable
temperature. In addition to hooks on the backs of not
only the rear bench seat to keep large loads of grocery
bags organized, there are hooks on backs of the front
seats as well to hold purses or smaller loads as well.
And we can’t forget to mention the dual power sliding
door option that brings with it a power rear liftgate,
the first we’ve ever seen on a minivan. Very cool,
and very handy. And a luxury vehicle wouldn’t be
a luxury vehicle if you couldn’t imagine showing
up to the opera in it, and truthfully, this is the only
minivan we would ever choose for the task. Oh, and did
we mention it was powerful? It is, with the most powerful
engines available in a minivan. What more could you ask
for?
