1997 Chrysler Town and Country LXI review from North America
"Very Plush. Very, very good"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Idler pulley froze up at 55,000 miles. Took out serpentine belt also.
General comments?
This van is definitely the Rolls Royce of minivans for this era.
Noted the comment about bad brakes.
Must be that one van.
My brakes are excellent and as a matter of fact Car and Driver found stopping distance to 119 ft from 60 MPH. That is better than almost anything else out there including sports cars. That fits in with my experience.
The van averages 24.3 MPG at 70 MPH with A. C on. Very plush.
