Author's Product Rating: 20 Recommended: No 
Pros: Nice looking exterior, three rows can cart a lot of people around
Cons: Transmission problems, cheap interior, lack of standard features (even with SE model)
The Bottom Line: I wouldn't recommend a car, at least of this model year (I can't speak for any others), because of all the transmission horror stories I've heard.
My mom bought a purple 1997 Plymouth Voyager SE in Deep Amethyst Pearl about 7 years back. 6 of those years, it has gone completely unused, because the transmission one day just stopped "clicking" to get the van moving. I mean, it felt like (in ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 40 Recommended: Yes 
Pros: dual sliding doors, very powerful engine, smooth ride, great for families
Cons: very poorly lit headlights, changing air filter is impossible, air bag
The Bottom Line: Buy used one that's had bugs worked out of it. Make sure previous owner gives you all paperwork so you can verify repairs/maintenance.
Bought our '97 from the first owner with 40K on it for $9K. Put new Michelin X1's all around and new front Monroe Sensatrac struts. Also needed new battery. Orig. owners did maintenance by the book so the van runs great.
This is our first van ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 40 Recommended: Yes
Pros: Roomy "cockpit", comfy seats, good view, nice-looking, handles well, 7 passengers, not an SUV.
Cons: Noisy engine and suspension, too little power for climbing hills, not an SUV.
The Bottom Line: I would recommend a Voyager to anyone, but I would make sure that it was well-cared for by its previous owners. Make sure it is mechanically sound.
We bought our Voyager about 3 months ago. My wife was in our home town, about a 6-hour drive away, for her baby shower. We were expecting our fourth. We really needed a van, because our Corsica was too small when we had our third child.

Author's Product Rating: 10 Recommended: No
Pros: Lots of room, only minivan with dual sliding doors at the time.
Cons: Amount of repairs, brakes, electrical system, sliding doors, weight of removable seats.
The Bottom Line: Unless you buy this van from a reliable source and have a good relationship with your local Dealer Service Department I'd avoid this van like the plague.
We bought our van brand new off the lot. Shortly thereafter the brakes began making loud squealing noises which Chrysler explained with a Service Bulletin explaining that this is common with all their models due to the type of brake pad used. Well we ... read more

Pros: nice looking, comfortable
Cons: gutless wonder, tranny problems already
The Bottom Line: very comfortable to drive and sit in, no storage space at all, easy to remove seats...but I would not recommend this van to anybody
We walked onto the lot planning on buying hubby a new truck and drove away in a new-to-us '97 Voyager. I was in heaven as the van I had, an '89 Voyager, smoked very bad. I showed off this van to all of my friends....I was so proud. The color and comfort ... read more

Pros: roomy, good value, comfortable seats

My 70 year old grandparents own a 1998 Plymouth Voyager. The room, seats, and overall driving experience are good for a short wheel base van. The 3.0 litre SOHC mitsubishi designed V6 is very loud, but performs decently for a heavy minivan. It ... read more

Pros: Very comfortable seat, driver can reach all controls.

Cons: I need monkey arms to reach the window/radio controls.
The time to get a newer car was two weeks ago. It was a tough call, but when my only semi-reliable source of transportation left me stranded twice in one week... Well, it made my choice easier.

We leased this vehicle, for 2 reasons. 1) We have a large family of 6, and 2) We needed a new car. I would not have chose any other model. We were lucky to get plenty of options in our van, such as built in child seats, and air conditioning in the back ... read more
