Yes. And comfortable. Love the heated seats when it is cold outside. Only had a few issues the last being replacing the starter. But like most vehicles you drive them things will get wore out.
It has been extremely reliable. The only problems I have had are the rear passenger door quit working (a wiring harness issue) and the biggest is that the engine light stays on most of the time. Nothing wrong with the car, it just does not go off.
It is relatively reliable, and has few problems. Most maintenance is minimal, and it needs few oil changes. Still, it has an electrical problem which occasionally turns off the car.
We've had breaks and rotors put on it. There's has been problem with the emissions and getting it to pass inspection in the past two calendar years. Everything else has been good.
No problem as of now everything is perfect on it I recommend it for any family looking for a minivan.
It is a very reliable vehicle and I have not come across too many problems since I got it last year.
Very expensive to fix, with many Mercedes parts; however very reliable. Sorry to see the van is no longer being made.
No I have had no problems with it at all it's been great it gets along good in the snow all I've had to do with it is oil changes and it has 190000 miles on it.

What Colors Does the Town & Country Come In?
How Big Is the Town & Country?
The 2010 Town & Country is a minivan similar in size to rivals such as the Toyota Sienna and Volkswagen Routan. Passenger room is excellent throughout the cabin with plenty of room for adults.
Cargo space is similar to other vans with 32.3 cubic feet of room behind the third row, 83.7 behind the second, and up to 143.8 with both rows folded flat. The “stow ‘n go” seating makes folding the rear rows very easy.
How Does the Town & Country Compare to the Competition?
The Honda Odyssey is a popular rival that costs around $400 more. Reliability ratings and technology are both better in the Honda, but the Town & Country is more luxurious. We recommend the Odyssey since it will last much longer and be less of a pain to own.
The Dodge Grand Caravan is another competitor costing about $500 less. Both vans are built on the same platform, but the Town & Country has a higher quality interior. We recommend avoiding both vans because they have expensive mechanical problems.
