2006 Chrysler Pacifica consumer reviews

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.

After 3 years of driving a Jeep Liberty, my wife and I decided it was time to move up (both in size and features). The Pacifica is a great riding car with good handling and a very comfortable interior. This must be a very heavy car because even with the optional 3.5L, the engine seems to work hard to move the car from stoplights quickly. Cruising at 70 MPH is a breeze though, and you can find yourself going much faster than you think you actually are. Overall, a great cruising car big on comfort, but only adequate on power.

I have owned this car for 3 years and have loved the luxurious amenities, room and remote automatic tailgate lift!!!! The only complaint that I have with it is its handling. It is not very responsive and sort of lumbers along, also is difficult to park and gauge the space around it as I see was noted in the official review of the vehicle. My 3 yr lease is up on it and I have looked around to try to find something more agile that matches all of this cars assets. but there is NOTHING! The Pacifica truly IS the ultimate family car having nno reivals and I do think I will just buy it.

After test driving 10+ SUV/Mini-vans in my price range the Pacifica was the first vehicle that my wife and I said ?WOW? after driving. The car drives more sedan like than SUV or Mini-Van like. Most car manufactures do not have a vehicle that falls into this crossover platform. We bought the base FWD model and the qualities of the interior materials feel top-notch. The only option added was the side curtain air-bags. After 2500 miles gas mileage has been pretty good at 20-21. Maybe a 5 speed automatic would have helped the MPG a bit. I?ve tried the autostick shifting it?s a neat toy but it?s not practical day to day. The standard radio with mp3 and 7 speakers is a nice touch. The vehicle is quiet with very little wind noise. Rear seat leg room is ample even for six-footers. I?m very pleased with the Pacifica. Good job Chrysler!!

I purchased the car in 2005 and have driven over 25,000 miles and have no complaints. The car provides a safe and comfortable ride for me and my family of 5. The large fuel tanks makes stops for gas less frequent which helps. All of the options I needed were in the model without having to look around at several dealerships or waiting for one to be shipped in. The wide wheelbase adds stability on the highway and the height adds to the safety of being see by tractor trailsers. I would highly recommend this vehicle to anyone looking in the suv market.

I so love this vehicle...the exterior look, the roomy interior...very spacious and wonderful visiiblity..very quiet and solid and stable ride! The independent suspension smooths out bumps etc. Good sound system too. Uses regular gas. Only getting l6 in town. For the price...I paid $19 k, brand new in Bay area, it is a super buy.

Purchased a base model having no need for all the bells and whistles -yet has plenty of options. Power seats, doors, great stereo system. This car is a fantastic buy. It has comfortable seating with a huge amount of rear space, second seat has plenty of room for adult legs. Gives you the feel and drive of a big car - quiet, solid, yet easily maneuverable. Feels and looks as if you are driving a vehicle twice the price. Five stars for Chrysler. They did a good job on this one.

Have a 2006 AWD and let me tell you this thing is tremendous. Performance - what 4500 lbs AWD car/truck does? Highway - like AIR! -very comfortable - drives heavy like a big car - handles like a midsize and better - Completely Satisfied !
