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 I have always loved going on trips and I have a husband and two small children so we need plenty of room that's what originally made this car appealing to us.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
2005 Chrysler Pacifica - Majorly Surprised
Overall, the Chrysler Pacifica is by far a car that passes most expectations of mine, and I can imagine many others. It is a fine make, has many excellent features, and an amazing size and space. It makes a great family and young adult vehicle.
Story
The most memorable memory with this vehicle was taking my family (mother, brother, and sister in law) down to see the Florida Keys. It was extremely comfortable for the number of people.
Pros
By far one of the most appealing and amazing features of this car is its size; the mid-sized makes it idle for everyone. It has excellent climate controls for both you or your family and friends or like me my fury companions. The seats and interior are excellently designed and comfortable. The car also drives like a dream down the road. It also has the power and get up and go for those who feel the need for speed. Its height and size also make it ideal for helping transport any ages, from babies to seniors.
Cons
One of the negatives I've found is the fuel economy is good, but it isn't the best from personal experience with the size of the vehicle in comparison to other makes and models of equal size. It also has a decadence for when one thing goes wrong. Several things go wrong at the same time. An example would be my dash lights went out, but I also ended up having my ball joints go out. The wear and tear on this vehicle seems to be a lot more than others at times. It also has the get up and go as I mentioned, but that is also is a bad thing because it can get you going so fast that you get a spe... (more)
