2005 Chrysler Pacifica - I will stick to American made cars from now on!
Well, I currently own a 2005 Chrysler Pacifica. I have had the car since 2007 so I got it two years old. Its more of a van now a days here in 2015. Considering my car has 190,000 miles on it as of now I guess you can say it has drove the distance, even though I see way older cars on the street, such as hondas, toyotas, and fords. So that makes me a little weary about chryslers. I also am not in love with the fact they discontinued the model because they suck so that makes it way harder to find cheap/affordable car parts in the area without going online. So would I recommend a Chrysler Pacifica 2005 edition to a friend or family member my firm answer would be a no! Buy American made cars...
Story
Well I loved delivering newspapers in her, she has a lot of trunk space, especially when the kids aren't riding I can Let the back seats fold down and fill her up to go on my route, so that was always fun, making money with my car!
Pros
The things I loved about this vehicle, at one point in time would be the interior space of the vehicle. I have always loved going on trips and I have a husband and two small children so we need plenty of room that's what originally made this car appealing to us. That's crazy as I am typing it is hard to think of "pros", I am ready to get to the "cons" its more of those than "pros", that should tell you something there. Lets see, the trunk is a very large size they made the trunk bigger in the 2005 edition because it does not include third row seating. SO pretty much those are the only thin... (more)
Cons
Wow okay! Well I hate the fact that my model of the Pacifica does not have third row seating a much needed future for this type of car, considering it looks like a van anyways. I also hate the fact that the car only does 17mpg come on its not a luxury car they could have given us way more mileage. Another problem is the car has a whole list of mechanical issues, like now I have to unhook the battery sometimes due to the doors locking on their own or the alarm going off on its on. Another issue that I have encountered in the past with this car is the starter going out and having to be repla... (more)
2006 Chrysler Pacifica - Mostly positive
Overall the Pacifica is a good vehicle. We have owned it for almost 2 years and had no issues previously. Last month, our alternator went bad, causing some other damage and a $1000 repair bill. Our oil tends to run low (a recurring issue over the vehicle's lifetime), but regular oil changes resolve that problem easily.
The vehicle functions adequately and provides enough space for 2 large dogs and a small child (one of the biggest selling points).
Story
We take our dogs and child to our family cabin.
Pros
3 Rows
Automatic trunk (button to open on key fob)
Built-in garage door opener
Seat warmers
2 automatic seat positions
6 CD changer
Climate control
Cons
Computer issues require maintenance by dealer, not regular mechanic
Oil tends to run low
Not stellar gas mileage
2016 Chrysler Pacifica - Great for moms!
I have two young children, and this car is great for them. The captain chairs fit their car seats great, and I am still able to tilt them forward with my child in his seat! I also love that the back bench seats folds completely down for more storage. The display in the front is great and very user friendly when driving. The only thing I don't like is sometimes the Bluetooth connection doesn't work when trying to play audio.
Story
My son loves to sit in his forward-facing car seat and be "squished" so that someone can crawl into the back seat. He begs us to do it whenever we have extra riders.
Pros
The best part of this vehicle is all the storage and the ability to move the seats around in the back. I always have a stroller and extra kid stuff, and I can fit it all. Plus, the whole family can fit in this vehicle. We go places with my parents a lot, and that is the reason we bought a bigger vehicle after having a second child. We can all fit comfortably for long car rides.
Cons
The cons to this vehicle are some of the alerts/sounds have stopped working after only a year. The rear hatch is supposed to make a beeping sound when opening and closing and that stopped. Second, the sliding rear door randomly didn't work one day but then suddenly started working again. It also makes an odd grinding noise sometimes. Finally, this vehicle has had at least two recalls on it since I've owned it, but luckily, none of them were very worry inducing.
