Despite the fact that it's the entry-level trim, the Chrysler Town & Country LX comes well-equipped for 2008. Standard safety features for the Town & Country LX include antilock brakes, an Electronic Stability Program, and Brake Assist, which applies maximum braking in emergency situations. Inside, advanced multistage airbags, three-zone air conditioning, power door locks and windows, power-adjustable pedals, and a luxury steering wheel are among the many features.

Families who desire improved interior versatility can opt for Swivel 'n' Go seating, a new feature for 2008. The seating enables passengers in the second row to swivel their captain's chairs 180 degrees to face the third-row seat. The Swivel 'n' Go seating package includes a removable table located between the second and third rows. Other seating options include the Town and Country's popular Stow 'n' Go seating and a third-row power-folding seat.

The Town and Country comes standard with a 175-horsepower, 3.3-liter six-cylinder engine with FlexFuel capability, so it can accept E85 gasoline, a blend of 85 percent ethanol and 15 percent gasoline. Drivers can also choose from a 197-horsepower, 3.8-liter V6 or a 240-horsepower, 4.0-liter V6. The 3.3-liter engine links to a four-speed automatic transmission, while the other engines link to a six-speed automatic.

In keeping with its status as a family-friendly vehicle, the Town & Country LX can be equipped with a number of "infotainment" options, including a rear dual-DVD entertainment system, Sirius Backseat TV with family programming, Sirius satellite radio, or a nine-speaker Infinity audio system.

Drivers like the Town & Country's many standard features and kid-friendly options, as well as its versatile interior. However, some feel the vehicle lacks when it comes to handling and acceleration. The standard Electronic Stability Program helps improve the vehicle's overall stability.
