2003 Chrysler Town & Country Reviews, Pricing & Specs
Write a review
For 2003, Chrysler has once again adjusted the trim levels for the Town & Country. A new STD model debuts, and is now slated as the base model. The "high value" EX and eL models return. Both are comparatively low priced (the eL costs less than the base model). The eL offers a better selection of features, but uses the 3.3 liter engine. The EX upgrades to the larger V-6 and adds self-leveling suspension, but is similarly equipped to the LX rim level. The LX, LXi and Limited styles are still available, but the all-wheel drive LX has been dropped. Buyers in need of AWD will now have to opt for the more expensive LXi.
Both the eL and LXi were discontinued after 2003, and Chrysler introduced a new Touring model for 2004.
New options this year include a one-touch power moon roof and a factory installed DVD entertainment system with wireless headsets. The optional four-disc CD changer has also been upgraded to a six-disc.
There are no notable power plant changes this year. The STD, LX, and eL will use the 3.3 liter OHV V-6. This Flex Fuel engine generates 180 horsepower and 210 pound-feet of torque. Drivers can anticipate acceptable fuel efficiency, at 18/25 miles per gallon. The two all-wheel drive models, the EX, LXi FWD, and Limited FWD will be powered by the larger 3.8 liter OHV V-6. This engine provides a considerable power boost: horsepower jumps to 215 and torque to 245 pound-feet. Fuel economy is the same, and all models use a four-speed automatic transmission.
It should be noted that these older Town & Country models predate the availability of the "Stow N Go" seating, which was added in 2005. Thus, the interior is a bit less flexible for cargo carrying needs. Interior comfort is often listed as one of the popular minivan's best attributes, and owners have been very satisfied with the luxury and convenience items found on the upper level (LXi and Limited) trims. These features include the three-zone climate control, premium audio system, the optional DVD entertainment setup, second row captain chairs and the dual power sliding doors. Added safety features like traction control and AWD are also greatly appreciated.
Gas mileage is a common issue, and opting for the smaller engine does not improve efficiency. Several other owners conveyed the idea that Chrysler is very adept at presentation (layout and gadgets) but that is not a substitute for reliability, build quality and service. And those happen to be the three most common consumer issues.

My family loved this car. Plenty of space, great on gas and handles very well. Very comfortable for our family getaways. The children never noticed how long the drive would be because of the rear entertainment. While they listened to the movie, my husband and I enjoyed the radio or CD player. Excellent family car!Apr 22, 2014

This is one of the most reliable vehicle I've owned. After owning GM my entire life. The interior has room for improvement regarding storage especially in the rear compartment, otherwise wish I had tried Chrysler products sooner. Excellent vehicle for family and style, with performance Feb 28, 2014

It looks good and performs well. Very little maintenance and regular oil changes have helped this car to keep its value even with the mileage. DVD works and that makes a nice family traveling tool. Seats can be folded over or completely removed for extra storageMay 13, 2013

One of the Best MPVs driven and sat in. Luxury, luxury, luxury.
Looks are appealing, and rather well-proportioned for an MPV.
Interior is luxurious and spacious, and unlike other MPVs, this has lots of boot
space. Comfort is the only item served on the menu with this car. Rides like a
dream. Passengers are treated like royalty.
It's not a sports car, so don't expect kart-like handling and fantastic braking
performance, remember this thing weighs in excess of two thousand five
hundred kilograms.
Power is abundant, although engine produces rather low output power for its
capacity, it is more than adequate to haul this 2.5tonne around anywhere with
ease. Handling is much more car-like; even though it is huge it, does not handle
like a van or lorry.
Driving around town can be tricky, especially during parking, and it becomes
extremely thirsty too.
This vehicle was designed and built mainly for driving long trips and cruising on
the expressway, getting much better fuel economy on highway driving, it also
has cruise control too.
Parts don't come cheap and can be quite high-maintenance with all the electrical
sliding doors and power-everything, just pray that the electronics and
automated parts don't fail, as replacement does not come cheap, as well as
heading back to the agent to fix it (regular mechanics may not have the
adequate knowledge and tools for such a job). Which all adds up to $$$.
Nice to drive or be a passenger of this King of MPV, but not too gentle on the
wallet. Buying this car is just like buying an elephant as a pet; if you buy the
elephant, you have to feed the elephant....Oct 29, 2011

We haven't had any trouble up to this point with the van, except a couple of recalls that were fixed in a timely manner. It is very spacious and comfortable for 6 people. The stereo system is great.Aug 19, 2007

How do I get my van to start
I put my van in a field that had water that reached the middle of my door. I had it towed I let it set for it one day. I have tried to get it started after doing several things. I pulled brainbox and dried it out with a hair dryer I have pulled both spark plugs and spark plug wires turn the car over until all water was out and replaced with new spark plugs and new wires I pulled the air filter to try to start it it still will not start I hear the fuel pump start when I turn the key to on but not over. I don't know what else to do. Can somebody tell me anything else I might be able to do to get my van working again cuz this is my only transportation. Desperate
