2000 Chrysler Voyager - Old But Gold
I like the fact that my van has over 220,000 miles on it and is still running like a new van. The one thing that I don't like that cannot be helped is the rust. I cannot justify a new paint job on a 15 year old vehicle. However I don't mind minor car repairs because it beats having a car payment. I have always been a fan of the Chrysler product and they have never let me down. I know that within the next one to two years I will need to replace my van but I will be looking for a late model not a brand new one. The maintenance on this vehicle is very minimal oil change, tires, a fuel pump, are the only things I have had to replace. Within the next one to two months I will need to replace struts but I'm not complaining the streets have lasted the entire 220,000 miles. I would recommend a ... (more)

I would recommend a Chrysler product any day over most of the manufacturers out there today. I would not recommend a brand new car as I feel they're not worth it because of the depreciation once you drive it off the lot. Not to mention the cheaper insurance.
Pulling out all the back seats and camping in the van
Pulling out all the back seats and camping in the van
Low maintenance, great gas mileage, room for my whole family and easy fixes are what keep me coming back to Chrysler products. I like that I can have room for my whole family in one vehicle or if I need space to move something large I can easily take out both back seats and then I have room for moving stuff. It is like having a truck and a van all in one. For a 15 year old vehicle it still gets 20 to 25 miles to the gallon on the highway. There is no rattling like some old cars do. There are no electrical problems with the van. The power windows and power locks still works as if it was bra... (more)

There are no electrical problems with the van. The power windows and power locks still works as if it was brand new. The side mirrors are electric which makes for easy repositioning when needed. The van still has its original floor mats front and back and although they may be a little dirty they do not have holes in them. There are no problems with the doors they all open just as if they were new and even the air conditioner works although from time to time we do have to recharge the freon. I am proud to drive my Chrysler and I will drive it until it decides not to run anymore
It is a big vehicle therefore it does take a lot of gas. Because it is getting older it does require more maintenance than before. Older vehicle parts are harder to find and when found more expensive. It's always a surprise to find out what's wrong with it because it is older and anything could be wrong with it. To replace it with something brand new would cost forty thousand dollars or more. That is not money that I have or am willing to spend on a new vehicle. The weather stripping between the doors is beginning to crack and fall off because it is old the paint is beginning to rust along... (more)

The weather stripping between the doors is beginning to crack and fall off because it is old the paint is beginning to rust along the bottom, cup holders are beginning to break. And just recently the fan has quit working on anything but high. Tires are definitely more expensive because of the size. A van is not the easiest thing to maneuver in snow and ice. Because it is a large vehicle
2000 Chrysler Voyager - Minivans are amazing.
Overall it's a great machine. It's big but a downside as expected is that the gas mileage is not great. However, it is extremely comfortable and easy to maneuver. I've been told Chryslers are horrible for needing repairs, and it's true enough that my own vehicle had to have a very expensive repair done to have the head gasket replaced. It was expensive, but for the cost of the vehicle and all the repairs, it was still a great deal.
Large windows provide great visibility. Being slightly higher up than the average car also makes a huge difference. The ride is very smooth, and the van is extremely easy to maneuver.
It is amazing for car-camping. Just take out all the seats and you have a very nice, cozy space for a small bed and all your things.

Anyone can drive it easily. Great for the whole family or friend who will take the wheel every once in awhile.
I took it to the beach and afterward relaxed in the cabin :)

Gets you pulled over less I imagine, carries large items, can seat 7 people total, large enough to carry a LOT but nimble enough to squeeze in tight places, seriously great, turning radius, great visibility, great for drivers of all skillsets, you can sleep in it, nice arm rests, seats are extremely comfortable, soft cloth seats that don't get too hot in the, sun unlike leather, It's old enough that it is easy and cheap to get work done on it, and new enough that it has a lot of nice features in a vehicle, very safe in a crash, comes with manual windows which while some would find inconven...

Seats are very heavy, and don't fold down, gas mileage isn't horrible but it's not great either, acceleration sucks, other cars disrespect you because people are misogynistic, h It can have a few common things that will need to be repaired, Only has radio and cassette standard.

2008 Chrysler Voyager -
The vehicle is a very solid machine for a family. The cost to features ratio is much higher than in other vehicles in a similar price point. The van is well put together despite a lot of plastic and the power is more than efficient to get the vehicle from A to B. The modern features for the year and its' cargo space are what make this vehicle in a class of its own.

We went on a long trip along the beach and enjoyed a lovely drive up the coast. The cars handled itself beautifully with no problems and we were able to bring a ton of extra stuff to take with us to go camping on the beach. We parked the van and there ended up being a massive storm that night and ended up having to run back and sleep in the van.

It has an adequate amount of power and is able to get you a proper speed in a reasonable amount of time. There is a massive amount of cargo space both in the trunk and under the floor boards. The features it came with were the best of its kind and still work to this day with very little issue. The automatic doors, trunk, windows are a great plus to have.

The automatic transmission in this vehicle is not very smooth and has had several issues and is known to do so. The turning radius on this vehicle is absolutely terrible and struggles to go around the most basic of turns. Everything is well put together but there is so much plastic it takes away from the feel and the look of the car.
