"18.1 MPG is a drawback, but it is a 4800lb vehicle. You have to trade off MPG for safety. Very wide car gives it stability and ride comfort. Most similar vehicles only have 2 rows of seats while the Pacifica has 3."

"Vehicle is very comfortable and AWD system is outstanding. Electronic features such as DVD,Surround Sound and U-Connect are great enhancements. That is where our endorsement ends. Transmission in this 2006 and our previous models are horrible. at 17,000 miles I have had 2 rebuilds then made them replace with a different transmission. Climate Control problems - now being told that hot air from defrost vents at ALL times is "Normal" have to drive with towel on defrost vent to avoid hot air in face. Multiple other electronic issues. Was sure all of the bugs had been worked out as the 2006 is the 3rd year, but can't wait until the lease is up so we can turn this back in. Surveys from Chrysler only rate their dealers. NEVER gotten a survey from them on how I like the vehicle. I guess 5 Star Dealer ratings count, customers don't."

"Very comfortable! A good value. No problems encountered over the first 18 months. The fuel economy is not bad overall but the engine is a bit sluggish. The 2007 model solved the problem by increasing both the size of the engine and the transmission. Previously, I owned a Volvo wagon and routine maintenance costs on the Chrysler is much cheaper."

"I love sports cars, but have a new baby... that being out, needed a new rig....everything for new moms was just plain blah... tried the 2006 Pacifica and loved it right away...plenty of room ( for 6), power, and good looks...great seating. Parks like a small truck! One of the best features is SAFETY. Unfortunately hit a deer one night. Only had to readjust a headlight. My father-in-law also hit a deer, and it ended up totalling his car! My only gripe is cornering at high speeds, where I would like it to be stiffer. My husband is going to fix that, so I am a happy camper. Best overall rig I've ever owned or driven."

"not even a Mercedes-Benz R-Class. It is so stable, and quite. I like that I can hear it accelerate; it helps you measure how much you are accelerating if not on purpose, since it can go pretty fast quickly. Most comfortable car. No sore muscle after 18-hr non-stop drive. Gives me 26 mpg on the highway, despite published mpg. We have two and are looking for lucky number 3!"

"2nd Pacifica I have owned. My 2004 was under powered, had rough transmission and horrible milage and reliability. Thought is was first year issues. My 20006 has the same short-comings. AWD on ice/snow and highway comfort are the high points of this vehicle"

"We have a siliver Chrysler Pacifica and I was stunned at the beautiful interior that it has. The seats are roomy and comfortable and it is very convenient and has a lot of good featues such as a DVD Player. I also liked the exterior design. It is shaped nicely and looks good in the back. I would reccomend this car to anyone who is looking for something that can hold a lot of things and still maintain its beauty and excellence."

"We just purchased a New Pacifica in August. There are several items that I am disappointmented in. 1ST. when the windows are down there is a severe wind buffiting sound inside the car to the point that it hurts your ears. 2ND. I am very disappointed in the gas milage. We are averaging 17MPG city and 19MPG hwy. We have taken a long trip with it and the best we averaged was 19.4MPG. 3RD. there is a blind spot on the drivers side. It has a very smooth ride and handles well."

"My husband and I shopped for 2 years and drove about every vehicle out there made from 2000 and up. After several styles and makes we decided we are not van people. Then we happened to find our 2004 AWD Pacifica and WOW!!! It has the space like a van but does not feel like a van. We got it used with all the extras but a sunroof and just LOVE it. We went from a Grand Am to this....WHAT A MOVE!!!! It handles very well highway and town for the size car it is. After having our Pacifica about a month some friends of ours bought the same one. I would suggest this car to anyone after shopping as long as we did. VERY HAPPY WITH CHRYSLER!!"

"We bought the Pacifica to take my wife's dying mother on a 400 mile journey to see, for one last time, some of her grandchildren and great grandchildren. She remarked several times that it was a very comfortable seat in the rear. she rode very well, and we arrived at our destination with her being tired but not worn. I think this speaks well of the comfort in the Pacifica."
