  • A unique blend of luxury and utility, but needs to go on a diet

    May 08 '03
    Pros: Styling, upscale interior, comfort in first two rows, versatility, firm steering and brakes, safety
    Cons: Marginal acceleration, feels heavy, little control feedback, cramped third row, price

    Summary: As automakers stop worrying about traditional product classifications and start producing products more precisely tuned to people’s sets of needs, we’re starting to see some unique vehicles. For example, there are likely a number of people out ... read more

  • A Very Comfortable Highway Cruiser

    Aug 15 '05
    Pros: Extremely comfortable seating and smooth drive for larger people.
    Cons: It requires 89 octane fuel. Needs more mpg and less hp.

    Summary: I've owned a 2004 Pacific for a year. It is a midgrade model with the 3.5 litre 300m motor but with cloth seats. I consider the vehicle a station wagon rather that a truck. My family took the Pacifica on a 3,400 mile vacation this summer from NC ... read more

  • 2004 Pacifica was the pits- My worst nightmare- I bought a lemon

    May 27 '05
    Pros: Tremendous value for the $. Looks great, Room for 6 and the feel of luxury.
    Cons: A lemon. Other experienced problems too. May be a money pit in future year.

    Summary: First let me start by saying that I was a little weary of buying American made once again. It took me a while to compare all SUV's and the Pacifica seems like a great value for the money. That is why I decided to give american made 1 more chance. Boy ... read more

  • This is the best car I have ever owned!!!

    Apr 02 '05
    Pros: Beautiful car, interior room, tight handling, and smooth riding
    Cons: Gas mileage, and small back window.

    Summary: I bought my 2004 Chrysler Pacifica with about 20000 miles on it and got a great deal. I traded in a 04 Toyota Rav4 because it just seemed cramped for my family of four. We are definately not cramped now. We have plenty of interior room to enjoy. I ... read more

  • A complete nightmare!

    Nov 08 '04
    Pros: Looks good
    Cons: Trouble trouble and more trouble. Please read the full review before you consider buying!

    Summary: Ok this vehicle looks cool but that's about as far as it goes. We purchased this vehicle the first day of August 2004 to replace our Ford minivan. Day ONE we owned this thing the stereo / DVD system quit working. We took it back to the shop and it ... read more

  • 2005 Chrysler Pacifica an Excellent Choice

    Sep 18 '04
    Pros: extremely roomy, seats up to 7, cross btwn minivan and suv
    Cons: poor rear view window vision, controls hard to figure out in front of car

    Summary: My mother purchased the 2005 Pacifica in Butane Blue. I have had the pleasure of being in the car both as a passenger and driver. This is my perspective of the car: Lots of Room for storage space and passengers. This is why my mother chose this car ... read more

  • Butane Blue Pacifica AWD

    Jul 12 '04
    Pros: Price (rebates), style, comfort, luxury
    Cons: Fuel economy, maybe needs a few more horses or a revision to the torque curve.

    Summary: We have now had our 2004 Pacifica AWD for about 5 weeks. My wife and I looked into this as an alternative to a SUV or minivan (we are expecting our first child and felt we needed more room than our Taurus offered). We were able to get the dealer to ... read more

  • An accident waiting to happen. Do not buy this car.

    Jun 04 '04
    Pros: Nice style, very comfortable front seats. Quiet ride. Analog clock. Good driver seat adjustments,
    Cons: Dangerously poor vision, very weak engine, nowhere to put carry-on items, poorly designed rear space.

    Summary: My wife and I have been renting a 2004 Pacfiica for a month. It handles well, generally. The steering feels firm and responsive, the brakes work. The turning circle is a little large, so parking it between other cars is a little more awkward than ... read more

  • Our First American Auto - What a fresh difference!

    Feb 05 '04
    Pros: Ride, Performance, Technology, Interior components
    Cons: Side Mirrors too small, visibility in rear, radio display colors.

    Summary: 3/4 UPDATE PROVIDED UNDER: UPDATE We were in the market for another new vehicle. I did a lot of homework. We've always purchased Japanese auto's as we've become accustom to their modern design, quality materials, ride, and reliability. We have ... read more

  • Moving on from a minivan requires some adjustment

    Jan 07 '04
    Pros: Styling, comfort, especially standard equipment, functionality (clearance, driver height, cargo)
    Cons: Lack of Power! Radio reception, MPG, visibility to sides/rear, tinted window too dark.

    Summary: I have less than 750 miles on my new 2004 Pacifica. My 7 passenger 1995 TransSport is still in the driveway, waiting for a new home. The following comments may be useful particularly to those downsizing from a large minivan. First let me say that I ... read more

  • The Pefect Family Ride for Those who Won't Drive Minivans

    Dec 28 '03
    Pros: Terrific looks, interior quality and comfort, convenience features, safety (third-row airbags), versatility, finally buying American
    Cons: Two chairs in second row makes two child seats difficult; horrible gas mileage, expensive insurance.

    Summary: I bought a Pacifica for my wife as we were looking for a third row of seating and the versatility of a minivan, without the minivan stigma (my wife refuses to drive a minivan), and we never go offroad. So I guess you could say we were the target markket ... read more

  • A Very "Mercedes-esque" feeling Vehicle

    Dec 25 '03
    Pros: Big, solid feeling vehicle with THE most comfortable back seat in automotive history!
    Cons: Oh my God! I bought a Chrysler! Touchy electronics..and lot's of 'em

    Summary: The valet at the Chateau on the Lake (Branson, MO) asked "what kind of car is this?" I replied that it was a Chrysler. "You're much too young to be driving a Chrysler" he said...I just turned 50, so I needed that! But I was puzzled. He was right..I ... read more

  • Test drive in Germany

    Dec 24 '03
    Pros: Overall performance and handling good. DVD system had very nice picture quality and sound.
    Cons: Rear view challenging, but not bad. Radio reception could have been better.

    Summary: I just recently test drove a Pacifica here in Wiesbaden Germany, and must say that I enjoyed it. Although I read over 50 plus reviews on the Internet regarding poor acceleration and poor rear vision. I was pleased with the performance the vehicle ... read more

    Dec 17 '03
    Pros: Handling, styling,seating luxury, braking, autostick, flexibility, dvd.
    Cons: Slightly Underpowered, wider rear doors, little noisy over bumps, DVD screen too small.

    Summary: We traded my wife's Jeep Grand Cherokee for the Pacifica, looking for more seating versatility. Here's what I like and don't (but I must say there are very few don'ts). I like the handling. It drives more like a sport sedan than anything else. The ... read more

  • I Own This Vehicle: Mixed Emotions!

    Dec 06 '03
    Pros: Very cool looks, handling, 3rd row seat fold-down, tons of usable options, AWESOME NAVIGATION SYSTEM
    Cons: Gas Mileage, build quality, Thin carpeting, shaky reliability, so far. Climate controls confusing.

    Summary: Let me start with the fact that I am somewhat of a car nut. We have had an SUV before they called them that(1976 Blazer). We have owned Honda, Audi, Porsche, Benz, BMW, Lincoln, Cadillac, you name it. We traded in our 1999 Ford Expedition, Eddie Bauer, ... read more

  • Pacifica - Meets or Exceeds My Expectations

    Oct 26 '03
    Pros: Driving Position/Ergonomics - Oustanding seating for four adults - Excellent fee for AWD vehicle
    Cons: Difficult to back up - poor gas mileage - water in rear door sills.

    Summary: As Chrysler advertises - I'm not sure what it is - although my local car wash charges me the extra "suv" fee. I previously owned both mini vans and mid-sized suvs. The lines of the vehicle are much more attractive than the mini van, and the ride feel an ... read more
