our expert's take

One day a couple of years ago, I went to my favorite sandwich shop for lunch. I ended up with a meatloaf sub, an iced tea and a Dodge minivan.

I didn’t go with the intention of getting the van, of course, but there it was sitting out front with a "for sale" sign in the window and the two rear seats removed. I looked inside and knew right away it could be a great vehicle for hauling around my antique bicycles. It had served Ben, the owner of the sandwich shop, well, and he was sorry to see it go. In fact, he still talks lovingly of his trusted Dodge Caravan.

I am a little biased when it comes to minivans from DaimlerChrysler. Because I own one, I know how well they work. I am not married, and I don’t have a family, just a rambunctious brown dachshund. But I like Dodge, Chrysler and Plymouth brand minivans.

And I think this week’s test vehicle, the base model Plymouth Voyager, is an outstanding van for a great price. If you place exceptional value at the top of your list of requirements in a new vehicle, take a good look at the Voyager. There is no other family vehicle — minivans included — that I’ve seen that comes close to the comfort, room, versatility and quality of the Voyager for the same money.

Performance, handling

The base Voyager comes with a 2.4-liter, double overhead cam, 16-valve, four-cylinder engine rated at 150 horsepower. Two V-6s are on the options list — a 150-horsepower 3.0-liter and a 158-horsepower 3.3-liter.

Performance from the four-cylinder engine is adequate. The engine runs as smoothly and quietly as a sewing machine and delivers enough thrust so that you can safely merge into fast-moving traffic. For in-town chores, such as trips to the grocery store or to drop the kids at school, the four-cylinder engine gets the job done economically. Expect about 22 miles per gallon in city driving with the air conditioner running.

The base model Voyager is equipped with a three-speed automatic transmission. The shifts are crisp and well-timed to take advantage of the engine’s power. The drivetrain has a refined, Hondalike feel of quality.

Because of its carlike handling, Voyager has been atop the sales charts since the day the old Chrysler Corp. invented the minivan in 1984. The 1999 model continues that tradition.

The Voyager has a soft and easy ride, but it also handles reasonably well. The body doesn’t lean much when you round a corner. The front strut and rear tubular beam axle suspension system smooths out most bumps. When the Voyager was revamped a few years ago, engineers stiffened the body. Undoubtedly, that helps give the Voyager its refined feel over the road.

Power-assisted rack-and-pinion steering and power front disc/rear drum brakes are standard. The Voyager is an easy van to maneuver in tight places. It can turn a complet e cir cle in a commendable 37.6 feet. The brakes stop the 3,500-pound vehicle quickly and without fuss. Standard anti-lock brakes would be a nice touch, though.

Fit and finish

It’s rare, but every now and then I test-drive a car that hits all the right chords and makes me feel good about it right away. The Voyager is one of those vehicles.

There’s nothing to dislike about the Voyager. The dimensions are just right. The interior is comfortable, designed with user-friendliness in mind and screwed together tightly. The buttons, switches and controls for the radio, air conditioner, headlights and rear window wiper are labeled well and within easy reach of the driver’s seat; adjustments can be made without taking your eyes off the road for more than a second or two. For instance, to change the temperature, you just slide a button left or right. The air conditioner was excellent. The fan blows strongly enough to circulate air all the way to the back of the van.

Our test van came without power windows, door locks, power mirrors and cruise control — and I didn’t miss any of these features. The windows were easy enough to roll down. Once the mirrors were adjusted, I never needed to mess with them again, and I could reach over and lock or unlock any of the doors.

The seats were upholstered with thick silver cloth. They not only looked sharp but were padded well in the lower back area, so I was able to stay comfortable during several long trips. As part of the $1,295 Family Value package, the Voyager adds a second bench seat that increases capacity to seven passengers.

For an extra $595, the Voyager is available with a sliding door on the driver’s side. It’s a nice convenience but not essential if you are watching your pennies. With the two rear seats out, the Voyager doubles as a pickup truck. The floor is totally flat and wide enough so that you can place a sheet of plywood in the back.

The rear seats, by the way, are on wheels and extremely easy to remove. You just click a button and pull up on two levers, and the seats slide on a track right to the edge of the tailgate. T hey are a bit heavy to lift down from the vehicle, but once on the pavement they can be rolled right into the garage.

These days minivans have a sort of frumpy image. That doesn’t fit, in my estimation. As long as there are families in need of a versatile vehicle that offers good value for the dollar, the Plymouth Voyager will never go out of style.

  • Best vehicle I've ever had.

    I bought it brand new and still works great. Only thing that it has needed were new break pads, and regular maintenance. I bought new cars usually, and none lasted as long. You can take out the seats and you have an enclosed truck to carry bags of soil and bricks, and all kinds of things. I checked here to see how much they are still worth, but I have zero intentions to sell it. I'm 71 and hoping for another 18 years, then I can drop dead. I bet the minivan will still run. Another woman in town has an identical one, we keep getting them confused because we go to the same stores. She loves her's.

  • My parents are 20 yr owners

    It?s been reliable, beyond maintenance zero problems. It currently need the rubber gasket seal replaced, but that it. I bought them a mew van with an exit seat. Except for modern tech it?s not any different than the old one. Thinking I may take it home across country.

  • Love this van

    We have this van with 221,000 miles on it and would trust it anywhere, it has been the easiest maintenced vehicle we have owned so we bought another just like it and it only has 130,000 at this point but we are looking for a third van exactly the same model and year since we drive lots so when we retire the first higher mileage one my husband and I will still both have one, can't say enough how much I love this model

  • 1999 PLY VAN with Low milage

    We needed a delivery vec. for a small catering business as well as personal transportation. This 1999 Ply Voy SE came on the market as a one owner trade in with under 46,000 miles on it for a price we could afford. The dealer did an outstanding detail job on it and made it look almost new. It seemed to run real nice with a slight pull in the steering. We determined it was a bad tire and had it put on the rear until we can get a new set. We have only put 1000 miles on it as of 11-2013. Kind of hard to determine reliability in such a short time of owning it. Locally it seems to get 16-18 mpg w/o ac on although the compressor is on during the defrost cycle. The only complaint is the drivers seat is cramped, we wish it went back further. I'm only 5'8" and 160 lbs. Very nice and comfortable driving. The newer vans have stow and go seating that would be a wonderful feature to have in our case. I plan on taking to a dealer and have them go over it just because its over 14 years old and I'm a little concerned about some hoses and rubber parts with the heat in the rear. Otherwise very pleased with it. .

  • Literally The Most Reliable Car I've Seen

    I have the 4 cylinder, and this car developed a transmission leak at around 140,000 miles. We never took it in to fix it, but just made sure there was always fluid. A stop leak minimized the leakage, but other than the fact I have to pay for transmission fluid regularly, the transmission hasn't been a problem. At around 210,000 she developed an oil leak, which I also just top-off. At around 220,000 the wiring became finicky and old. The AC compressor died at around 180,000 miles and seized up around 238,000 miles. This was never a problem for me, because the AC is more of a luxury and there was a way to route the belt where it didn't even need to include the compressor. Now, at 240,000 miles we are finally experiencing alternator problems. Our family has been the only owner of the car and it is definitely the hardest working, most reliable car we've ever owned. At 237,000 miles, I confidently took a 9 hour straight road trip from Waco, TX to Baton Rouge, LA. It took 140,000 miles before the first problem occurred. And now at 240,000, I'm just now starting to see the beginning of the end. I really do believe that this car will make it to 300,000 miles. It's a crying shame they don't make this vehicle anymore.

  • Economical and reliable!

    I've been driving my 1999 Plymouth Voyager for 9 years and it hasn't let me down yet. I recently drove a new van and noticed the handling and ride was pretty much the same as my old van. I've had to make some repairs over the last 9 years, mostly belts and hoses. I have heard of transmission problems with the 4-cylinder engine. I have a 6-cylinder and no such problems.

  • 1999 Plymouth Voyager SE

    The Plymouth Voyager is a reliable, comfortable and economical vehicle to drive. It has enough room to carry all of my children and their things when we are going to football games, etc. The only drawback is when you put a carrier on the top to carry items when you go on a trip, it brings the mpg down substantially.
