[bmwmsport11]

[BROWNINGguns1]

Hey Kyle I just wanted to tell you that this guy Capt421 does car reviews and that he copied your routine of reviewing cars, but you will always be better anyways.

[MovieMafiaX]

Do the very back seats lay out flat? :)

[Pjor1cp]

@MovieMafiaX Yes. I have one.

[Annihilator1111]

the transmission on the 1995-2000 Chrysler Town and Country

Transmission

4-speed 41TE automatic

[jason123456789210]

WHY IS THE DRIVERS DOOR HANDLE BLACK

[Pjor1cp]

@jason123456789210 That is the matching color to the side door controls. It is just a design.

[jason123456789210]

@Pjor1cp but passenger is trim color

[Pjor1cp]

@Pjor1cp Because it matches the driver's side door controls. It would look stupid matching the others. The passenger is a trim color because it matches that side door. I own one of these. I know this.

[jason123456789210]

@Pjor1cp me to

[jason123456789210]

my 97 t&c is also missing the c from chrysler on the trunk lol

[CaaaramelApples]

Really crh? Cuz my family has had these vans for about 8 years, and guess what? No problem in any of them, so why don't you do us all a favor and go troll someone elses video

[crh0000]

still good video kyle!!!!!!!!

[crh0000]

THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST DEADLIEST VANS MADE BY CHRYSLER... IF YOU HAVE A CHRYSLER VAN OLDER THAN A 2002, IT DOES NOT HAVE BRAKE SHIFT INTERLOCK... GO ON YOUTUBE AND TYPE IN DANGER IN DODGE CHRYSLER MINIVANS AND AT 1:03-1:13 YOU CAN HEAR JOAN CLAYBROOK, LEADER OF CHARGE FOR CAR SAFETY FOR 50 YEARS SAY THESE MINIVANS CAN KILL SOMEBODYEVEN WITH THE MOTOR OFF, I GOT RID OF MY VAN BECAUSE I DIDNT WANT IT TO KILL MY KIDS... NOW I GOT A '11 TOYOTA SIENNA, AND GUESS WHAT CHRYSLER, BRAKE SHIFT INTERLOCK

[LoganZone101]

@crh0000 thumbing up!

[vykintauzeris]

@crh0000 sorry for saying this, but ARE YOU STUPID??? Normal people don't let theyr'e children play in van with the keys in the lock (sry my english is not very good). And stop writing stupid things, everyone here want's to see the van, not your stupid comment.

[crh0000]

@vykintauzeris i liked these vans until i found out about the "recall" and tragedies that resulted from such recalls. now i too wanted to see the van... i wanted to compare it with my old caravan like this...but afterall, i was just makeing a statement to let everyone know about the "recall". So, if you dont like or my comments, you dont have to read them. AND another thing, another negative comment at me like that again, im blockin ur ass and im making sure you dont ever touch my channel again.

[crh0000]

@vykintauzeris and another thing, as you said, everyone just wants to see the van... if that includes you, then what the hell are you doing reading comments, "if you just want to see the van"??? In my opinion... GO FUCK OFF ASSHOLE!

[M67v]

I am not a big fan of that generation van. I like the 2001-2004 the most! 2005-2007 second. 2008-2010 third.

[scaremengaviation]

Off roading in a van!

[AirCanadaA55555A]

No Brake Shift Interlock!

[jason123456789210]

@AirCanadaA55555A thats why he likes it and i like it cuz is easy to do burnout in it

[AirCanadaA55555A]

@jason123456789210 Right.

[maggio211]

There's a fog light burned out.

[allthiseverything]

All Minivans suck

[naterade21]

i once had to change a starter in one of these it was a pain in the butt

[naterade21]

kyle sounds nasaly at the very begginin

[gmancarini1]

what a pos!!!!

[M67v]

Translation not luxurious. I'd expect power sliding doors, power rear hatch, etc. Hopefully the redesigned 2001 version looks better and has those expectations.

P.S ITS NOT WELL EQUIPPED!

[macreviews94]

@M67v it's 1999, what do you expect?

[M67v]

@macreviews94 oh yeah! the 1995-2003 Sienna was probably the first minivan to have power sliders. I am not sure about liftgates

[jason123456789210]

@M67v starting with 2000 the CARAVAN and TOWN & COUNTRY only, ahve power doors.

[M67v]

@jason123456789210 Don't you mean 2001

[TheGomer84]

@M67v Gotta remember though this sucker is 12 years old.

[M67v]

Translation not luxurious. I'd expect power sliding doors, power rear hatch, etc. Hopefully the redesigned 2001 version looks better and has those expectations.

[markkjay]

Yeah I'd definitely agree. I like this gen the most.

[Saleen5000]

1996-2000 generation is the best

[tripledonkey]

@TheCravers3 aye tis on the way out i think.

[markmarcellus94]

@saabkyle04 when you say "lets check out the exterior, shall we" i ll automatically reply "we shall". weird ay

[eitlean6881]

why are you so cool?

[Lukeschedel]

honda odyssey > chevy lumina apv > dodge caravan > ford aerostar

[stimachine88]

Nice Dinasour egg ! 3.8v6 same as Mitsubishi Montero?

[georgejeep]

can you do 2001 Pontiac Montana

[a1986ford]

I do like that gen of the Chrysler vans but since Lee Iacocca steped down in 93 model year they have been declining in build quality. I do think when Daimler-Benz took control of Chrysler in 1999 model year they pretty much killed what chrysler because Chrysler was known for was the engineering company.Since Fiat has taken control of Chrysler I have aready seen the build quality go up such as the seats in the new 2011s are much more confortable compared to 2010 model line.

[Duratec86]

Those are the exact same visor mirrors my Taurus has. Must have been the same supplier.  Agreed on the van...best generation of those.

[gajda1984]

@Duratec86 I wonder if they were still making mini conversion vans for that generation? My childhood friend's mom had a 1993 or 94 Plymouth Grand Voyager Conversion Mark III, that thing was loaded, TV, VHS (at that time was cool), and really cool factory lighting.

[sideburns2009]

I just realized that the shifter is very smooth on ours. I love it.

[fuzzaun]

my parents should of get this or the caravan instead of the windstar we bought back than, windstar is terrible

[Mds9608]

That thing was LOADED! 0_0

[atlantaboy1122]

all of the cars you reveiw have low gas

[LoganZone101]

The reason why the transmission's smooth is because there is no brake shift interlock, so you don't feel a lot of gear cranking.

[mrabhijeet15]

why it looks like dodge caravan

[ThePKProject]

@mrabhijeet15 The Dodge Caravan and the Plymouth Voyager (later known as the Chrysler Voyager) share the same platform. So the designs are practically identical. It's like a Dodge Stratus vs. a Chrysler Sebring. Same platform, just different trims and branding.

[gajda1984]

I'm just lookin for some tush!

[carsandreview]

We had the same 1999 town and country from 2000 till 2010 and we never had to buy a new transmission, engine, or motor! The only thing we did have to get repairs on is the a/c! An my mom had a bad accident in it and didn't have a scratch! But sadly it was totaled!

[bleachatchatpark]

really slow automatic driver side window lol!

[Motorfordtoyota]

Great van unless you want to be able to drive 20 yards with out the transmission dieing, or if you want to survive a mild crash.

[hypervish89]

The transmissions on these vans suck, damn 41te...

[yellowcow13]

This is a sweet van. AWD, thumping sound system, cool A/C vents in the doors...

[wha01]

hey try and find a Oldsmobile Silhouette! caddy of 90's minivans haha

[FanDeAlguersuari]

I like very much the Chrysler minivans, and this is not an exception

[chriscmoi]

Reving the engine up to 5000 rpm... The higher I ever went is 3000... The engines in these cars are not good. I drove the 96, 03, and 08 dodge caravans and all 3 of them had problems.

[Annihilator1111]

the 1996-2000 Chrysler Town And Country was assembled in

St. Louis, Missouri, USA

[TheEddy1122]

could you review the dodge van next to it please?

if you have time lol



[Bflakes30]

@saabkyle04 you're reminding me of that new Caravan commercial "makes ya almost want to have kids" LoL you seem to like this big guy. Van is in great shape though great job as always :-)

[carsandreview]

notice the window was kinda slow at 1:35 lol great van!

[streesmut70]

Hey everybody was penta' on

[SashaZenkov1995]

why do you have in America, most machines without toning?

[samtheman48]

Where is his van for sale at?

[JeremyLikeCorvettes]

i think the Town And Country is the all time American best van!

[strumem90]

@JeremyLikeCorvettes but could have been built in WIndsor Ontario....lol But the did assemble some in the States somewhere....can't remember where though :P

[luisinhoens90]

@strumem90

They were also made in St. Louis, Missouri. I think he refers to it as the all time American best van because Chrysler is an American company.

[ihategeneralmotors]

great van! what are the air vents on the inside of the front doors for, though?

[Captainskier]

@ihategeneralmotors its the vent that is meant to be more towards the feet (although there is a adjusting thing on the vent to direct it higher or lower-- just another way to improve air/heat circulation throughout the vehicle.

[strumem90]

@ihategeneralmotors actually, so you know....it for the rear passengers...."Rear Air"

[crystalscan2002]

thats loooks nice for chrysler van

[metalicpsp]

Can you do a 2000 Mitsubishi Diamante?

[Captainskier]

0:27 - I noticed that that is not the correct key fob for the year of the vehicle.

My mom had a 99 T&C Limited just like this one. Drove it until it had 220,000 miles and still had a strong engine and transmission. Sold it for a Pacifica Limited

[Moparman58]

@Captainskier they might have had 2 different fobs because my dads has the same as this town and countrys

[Captainskier]

@Moparman58 maybe with the older town and country's, but my moms was exactly like that one- same year, model, and even color and had the more rounded key fob used until 2004 (for the most part when the key and fob became integrated). maybe 1998 and older had the square old one- but 1999 definitely didn't.

But who knows, lol...

[Moparman58]

@Captainskier oh yea thats true, i forgot about the rounded one.

[a1986ford]

@Captainskier They used the square fob on the mini vans untill build date of 1/23/99 if i remeber correctly what the dealer told me

[Captainskier]

@a1986ford hm interesting- I learned something new today!

[carsandreview]

My mom bought one of these In 2000. It was the 1999 gold limited And we had it up on till has year when she was in a bad car accident and the car was throw into a parking lot across the road and she came out with no scratch. Now we have the 2008 town & country limited and love it. This is a good van we never had to get repair on Any major parts only the a/c. Thnx Kyle this brought back great memories.

[carfreak493]

my family had a 99 lx model, i remember they let choose between a cd player or leather when we were ordering it, lol o how times have changed. in 2004 we ended up turning it in for a fully loaded pacifica, 

[thecrunchyburrito]

wow my parents had a 1996 town and country and i dont think it was a limited so it had cloth seats but i really like this i was waiting for this

[jonwilliams16]

the engines today sure make a lot more power

[timforsyth89]

my grandparent's 1998 Plymouth Voyager is pushing 173,000 miles

[daredevil7442]

The new caravan Kyle reviewed last week shows an improvement/big difference in minor/major build details compared to this 1999 model. The caravan has improved a long way over the years but, has it? It does the same tricks....just more highly refined/engineered....,same tricks.....nothing really new but, it does it easier!!!

[digitalrailroader]

Well, so far you have a 1st gen Durango, a 2nd Gen Dakota, a 2nd Gen Ram, a 1st Gen Concorde, and a 3rd Gen minivan, now all you need to complete your Chrysler Cab Forward Tour Collection is a 1st Gen Viper, a 1st gen Sebring Convertible, and a 1st Gen Stratus!

[datboiwes333]

@digitalrailroader He still needs all those cars from the Plymouth and Eagle brands also.

[crh0000]

though this is a nice van, im not the biggest fan of this style look on the outside.i like the older style, like the 1994 town and country, which i have and still runs great with over 234,100 miles, and it went across country from PA to CA and back without a single problem, this outside body style makes the van look like a bit of a bubble compared to my 94 which looking at this one and mine, mine looks like a box. But its my box and ill be in tears when and if i ever see it go.

[ThePKProject]

We own the lower end version known as the Chrysler Voyager. Reminds me a lot of that car haha. The Voyager also has a SWB compared to the LWB of the T&C. And the Voyager is twice as plasticky.

Nonetheless, the only concern with these vans is the lack of brake-shift interlock and gen 3 seatbelts.

[saxman112]

I remember when my family had a Town and Country LXI back in the '90s. The only differences are that the leather wasn't perforated, and the wheel covers weren't as fancy. It was still a nice van though.

[braydenmartindale]

I don't mind the newer Chrysler Town and Country vans but if you ask me this thing is just hideous, not a bad interior though :)

[NorthStarOlds]

Great video Kyle and thanks so much for making this video I love these vans!

[talldude123]

Wow it sure is hot where you are Kyle!

[tonystewartrocks14]

Not to be a "thumbs up" guy but thumbs up so Kyle can see this! Do a Ford Aerostar dude!

[Lukeschedel]

@tonystewartrocks14 ford aerostar is shit srry

[luisinhoens90]

@Lukeschedel

Aerostars were good vans, just a little old fashioned even for the 90s. But those and Chevy´s Astro were the only mini vans at their time which could actually tow. They were also based in RWD platforms so they were actually more rugged than competitors. They were also reliable, specially with the 4.0 V6 So I wouldn´t say Aerostars are shit.

[Motorfordtoyota]

@luisinhoens90 I can 100% agree. My Grandmother has a 92 extended wheel base XLT with the 4.0. Not many major problems since my aunt gave it to her with 200,000 miles. (Now has 240,000). The A/C doesnt work, nor does overdrive. lol. But, I love that van!!

[luisinhoens90]

@Motorfordtoyota

My aunt used to have an 86 Aerostar XLT fully loaded with the 2.8 V6. It had Digital clocks and trip computer as well as 2 tone paint. It was very comfortable and it never let them down.

An uncle used to have a 1990 XL with almost no options but it had the 3.0 liter engine and had always been reliable. Its replacement (a 2000 Windstar SEL) wasn´t as reliable, the tranny was gone after 110,000 miles

Also a friend from college has a 1993 Aerostar LWB XLT 4.0 with 230,000 miles

[yellowcow13]

@tonystewartrocks14 I had a brown on brown one it was sick

[Motorfordtoyota]

@tonystewartrocks14 YES!!! XLT extended van. With that awsome bed in the back (the rear seat ya know!!!)

[luisinhoens90]

@Motorfordtoyota

Or better yet, an Eddie Bauer with long wheelbase and AWD

[Motorfordtoyota]

@luisinhoens90 Yeah, but the Eddie Bauer Aerostars are rare. And the AWDs arent the most common either. But I meant long wheel base by extended van!

[LoveTheCity123]

Such a very unsafe vehicle.

[sirmasterpimp]

@LoveTheCity123 Wait until you see the Chevy transport made around the same year.....This van looks like a volvo compared to that.

[ludicer]

I kinda of like these thinks. the design ages well

[royalxchaos9]

did anyone see how slow the window went down at 1:36 ? lol

[talldude123]

@royalxchaos9 My roommates 2008 Honda Fit has that same problem with all windows, bad motors I guess.

[achm3d]

i liked these vans back in the day. i remember i used to have a scale model of this when i was a kid. it was made by maisto if i remember correctly and i remember being really fascinated by the design. this seems to be a pretty loaded trim; those options were pretty sweet to have back in 1999, and you can tell this one was taken care of well by the previous owner(s).

[accountnumber90]

Our 1999 Plymouth Voyager is still going strong with about 127,000 miles on it. Went all the way from Alabama to Washington State with no problems. Pretty good car, though not the most enjoyable to drive in my opinion.

[SubieSean]

Chrysler and dodge have the most plush seats ever.

[mazda3guy00]

Kyle can you do a 2011 mazda 3 with the smartkey??

[TJC450]

Lxi or Limited which one was the better trim level?

[92ASC]

@TJC450 limited was better, lxi was the mid-level

[saabkyle04]

@Jakeman2164 Yeah I actually like the lumina a lot better because of how it looks, this is comfortable, but that lumina was exciting haha :P

[gajda1984]

@saabkyle04 Not that I'm sure you haven't thought of it, if you ever find a Chrysler M body as in a Chrysler 5th Avenue, Dodge Diplomat, and Plymouth Grand Fury, do a tour. If you are able to and have the time. Just a suggestion.

[killwestley]

Could you do a jaguar x-type please??

like a 2006 or 2007?

[TheNorthside613]

@19thebigone95 Like little holes in the leather than allow air flow.

[robbie5448]

Nice rims!

[datpimpinboy]

Ahhhhh nothing better than lay down, relax, and enjoy some SaabKyle videos ;) Thanks Kyle!!!

[7477238]

@19thebigone95 Those little holes you see incorporated into the seat design. Usually manufacturers do that when the car comes equipped with cooled seats or they just want to make it look sporty.

[fartur]

Brother, when you enter in the Vehicle, close the door before you start the engine please, this way we can know how much the car is quiet inside, to get started.

thank you.

[dave11686]

Nice van! Great vid as always Kyle!

[JeepGCOverland47]

nice used to have one of these a while ago (2nd comment)
