Positive Review
We have had a mini-van for the past 7 years and finally realized how sick we were of driving one. We are a pretty young couple with children and didn't think we should be driving one for the rest of our lives:) We tried out the Jeep Commander and the Chrysler Nitro and even though they were both nice, we still weren't sure we wanted to sign our name on the dotted line. The Commander has a third row, but the once we put the kids in the second row, they seemed to right on top of us. It's as though they moved the second row so close to the first row to be able to fit in the third row. We hated it!!! My husband took the Commander back after the test drive and they talked him into trying out a Pacifica. He was very hesitate because he thought it looked a little like a station wagon and figured there is no way he is going to like driving it. I told him to bring it home, it was worth a shot. We only live about 7 minutes away from the dealership and by the time he pulled into the driveway he was in love with the car. He kept going on and on about how wrong he was and how surprised he was that he liked it so much. We loved that it had the seats in the second row that are adjustable like our van had, so we could move the kids back so they couldn't kick our seats!!! The third row is not much different than our van, we have about as much leg space back there as we did with our van. The only place you lose any space is the truck area (not that you had tons with the van), but that is the small price you pay if you want a crossover vehicle, if you want the most space you can get, then buy a van or a huge SUV. The third row seats fold flat, so we just keep those down for the trunk, unless of course we have to take more than the four of us. You can still fit a small stroller and a few groceries back there even with the seats up, but not tons of stuff. The engine is the best part, it really gets up and goes and is soooo smooth when it is shifting gears. That is what sold my husband (typical guy!!!) Overall, we love our Pacifica and are already talking about getting a brand new one when we turn this one in after the lease is up. We never thought that far ahead on any other vehicle we have had, we have always started talking about the next different kind of vehicle we are going to get, so that says a lot when we are talking about getting the same kind!!!

Critical Review
I bought my '05 Pacifica with 40,000 on it and immediately fell in love with it. My first SUV. Very roomy and very comfortable. AWD and all the bells and whistles. However, the oil consumption issues have plagued me ever since I drove it off the lot. Engine eventually was totally rebuilt (under warranty). Didn't make a difference. Rear end went out, every sensor you could think of had to be replaced, catalytic converter more than once. I have to check the oil at least once a week. Chrysler says "normal range" is 3 qts between changes. What??!! My husbands semi doesn't use that much oil! Can't wait til it's paid for (about a month) so I can send it down the road. I'll miss the comfort and the handling, but I sure won't miss the nickle-and-diming at the mechanic's.

Outstanding car

Smooth ride
Good heat and air. Everything works.
Good car for transportation. Mo problems starting in winter. Smooth comfortable ride. Everything works. Engine light has been on for 2 years. Has been checked 2x. Wad told it was the light sensor.
Very comfortable, great looking crossover utility.
Engine mounts fail frequently, transmission issues
I have driven my 2007 W.P. Chrysler Signature Series Touring since new. Lots of Easter eggs. Chrysler loaded these cars with lots of upscale features at a very reasonable out the door price. Other than an early transmission pump failure which was handled under warranty it has been an average vehicle for needed repairs. Very comfortable for longer trips and reasonable fuel economy for a vehicle of this size. Love the captains chair seating for (6), moon roof, 19” wheels, infinity sound system and styling which is based off the Mercedes R300. Chrysler’s do not hold their resale prices very well and this car is no exception. I’m at 155,000 miles and this vehicle is still going strong.
Very reliable
I am the first owner of my Pacifica. It is the most comfortable & reliable car I have ever had. I could drive this car anywhere. I am a 75 year old female. I do not want another vehicle. There is no new vehicle that impresses me.
It’s very comfortable, reasonable Gas mileage
Can’t think of one!!
This is a fabulous car! As an Uber driver I cannot drive with a car over 15 years old. It is in great shape. It has a small break in the PLASTIC front bumper. I use it in Vail COLORADO and it is a tank in the snow. Rides as new. Garaged every night. No rust! Inside lovely leather seats! It seats six in leather buckets in 3 rows. Third row is trunk area and two seats are hidden for ample luggage storage! Easy pop up! I wish Uber would let me continue to use it!

Great handling
None
I've owned this car for eleven years, bought it with less than 50,000 on the odometer, believing in taking care of my cars and making them last, i have had a Henry J (first car), a Buick Century, a Dodge 440 wagon, a Chevy Caprice and a Toyota Landcruiser and now this Pacifica - all good cars, but this is the best - easy handling, starts everytime, AWD goes in the snow and brakes on a dime, which has saved me from some deer and turkey collisions up here in the mountains
Smooth ride, comfortable, and easy handling.
Not a thing
Amazing AWD is awesome in the snow. Great family car but still stylist enough for singles or couples. Smooth ride, comfortable, and easy handling.
