Just got it! Love it!
Purchased a 2004 AWD Inferno Red Pacifica last Saturday. This truck? This Car? This crossover? This whatever it is, looks great, rides great and has all the cool toys like NAV and DVD video. Got a great deal on it and I hope in 3 years it rides and looks just as it does today.
WOW!!

Incredible Car for the Money
This is a great crossover vehicle. Wonderful ride, easy to drive, plenty of room for a family of four. We've owned several SUV's and this beats them all, even the Land Rover Discovery. For the money there isn't a better buy out there. Thanks to Chrysler for another great car and (the lack of marketing that allowed for great cash back offers to get them on the road.)
Sport Tourer Indeed!
This car excells on the open road. I have a well optioned front drive and have been well pleased. Interior room and comfort are remarkable. The interior lacks height compared to a van or SUV, but I have managed to haul some rather impressive items nonetheless. Handling is exceptional for such a large vehicle. It is quite stable. I have found acceleration sufficient for my needs. This car eats up Interstate miles and keeps you happy while doing so.
Pacifica should get higher ratings
We travel from LA to Colorado a few times a year so we wanted something that could handle the snow and our gear, would still be comfortable and would get better milage that the big SUV we had. We got it. This car is amazing. It handles beautifully, is fun to drive, has a much better interior design than any of the other crossovers we tested (Including the SRX) and we got a great deal on it. We did a lot of research and test driving. We were willing to spend the money for the Cadillac, but liked this better. This is the best of the crossovers.

i would buy another
Pacifica 2 month review
I bought my Pacifica as a business car to replace a 2001 Buick LeSabre. I'm in sales and spend a lot of time in my car, 25K to 30K annually. I'm also a big man and needed a car big enough to feel comfortable in for so many hours at a time. Pacifica gave me all the room I needed, both laterally for hips and shoulders, as well as lots of leg and foot room. I can extend my left foot under the brake pedal and lock my left knee straight out. Not bad room for someone 6'3". Interior wise, there's as much room across the front as my LeSabre. Front passenger leg and seat room are also outstanding. Back seat room in the bucket seats is amazing.
Very dissapointed!
I was shopping for a new SUV and looked everywhere for great price. Well finally found it and this crossover has been horrible for us. First thing wrong 4 days after buying it car shuts down on expressway no reason, next oil leaking, next starts making clapping noise, next starts kicking back while driving as if changing gears! Next had to have pulley tensioner replaced now making horrible noise that wont go away, now alternator is failing! What else can go wrong, this was supposed to be my dream car n turns out to be a nightmare!
Pacifica - What is It ?
So far, so good ..... Interior design is top notch, ride is smooth and much better than previoius Crysler product (2001 Sebring LXI) ...... Gas mileage good be better ...... What is this vechicle ? A car , van, station wagon or SUV ? No one seems to know for sure. Seems to have alot of benz like qualities ............
Bad in the snow
A very good car on dry pavement but very unstable in the snow for front- wheel drive version. Back end skitters out in the snow. Otherwise on dry roads, great handling. Probably would recommend AWD if I had to buy again.
Total Satisfaction
This is the best car I have ever owned! I required a larger vehicle for my newborn twins, their double stroller and a host of other things I need to haul around. I feel much too hip for a mini van and a little more sophisticated than a large truck. The Pacifica is a perfect fit. I never hesitate to tell people about my joy when they stop me on the street to ask questions.
We're quite happy....
We purchased a loaded AWD Satin Jade version, and couldn't be more pleased with the styling, appearance; it is a very sharp looking car (we thought the darker colors didn't really compliment the uniqueness of the exterior styling). We were primarily looking for functionality, and never having owned a minivan, I wasn't quite prepared to make a leap into one. Chrysler has answered my prayers with the Pacifica. It provides first class seating for four, PLUS an extra row! Performance wise, it is most fun going around corners; the traction is amazing. The self-leveling suspension is a real kick. For what we got, we did not find the car pricey.
This is IT!
Never thought I'd want to trade my Expedition until I saw this ride. Took 6 months, but I finally test drove and never stepped back into my SUV. Didn't settle for anything less than ALL the extras and so glad we didn't, we'll have this one til it dies. We drove through a couple other "top end" dealerships looking for a car for the in-laws and at both places salesmen came out and looked it over inside and out and told us how great it is... like we didn't know!
All Around Luxury and Performance
Very pleased by the luxury, performance and value of this car. Such a sharp looking car, with all the amenities and great performance, plus six truly comfortable bucket seats! So much more for the same price as European SUV's!! It's really the best kept secret around. Chrysler should advertise it more, because it has so much to offer for the price, including a top notch safety and driving experience. This is an amazing contender!
Pacifica AWD exceeded our expectations
We looked at the Volvo XC90 and the Acura MDX but always came back to the Pacifica. Five star ratings for front and side impact as well as the beutiful look and ride brought us to the dealership. MSRP was $40.2K but got it for $35K. We love it! We find the acceleration more than adequate despite the reviews. The cabin speaks quality and it is extremely quiet at highway speeds. The rear bench folds flat on the cargo floor creating more than enough room. A volvo XC90 or Acura MDX would have costed us over $10k more than what we paid and still no nav system.
2004 Pacifica
The only gripe I have so far is the 4 speed transmission. It should have been a 5 speed. Other than that, I'm really happy with the vehicle.
Nice touring car
We bought this car for my wife who wanted something luxurious but taller sitting seat wise. We have taken two trips, one over a thousand miles round trip and were comfortable the whole way. It could use more power but it had no problem cruising at above legal speeds up hills and valleys. Our previous car had a 5 speed transmission which I think would have helped this engine. We receive a lot of stares and positive comments about the car. Everyone seems to like it. Especially mini van owners.
A Pleasure To Own
The fact that this vehicle is the "first of a new breed" is what I enjoy about it most. I find it to be unique, yet very versitile and practical. It has the ride of a car, with the convenience of a van, and the performance of a truck. It is attractive (a definite eye catcher) yet it fills all the needs, anyone could have in a vehicle.
A Real Famliy Tourer
Extremely comfortable ride for my family of four who does all our traveling by car. Higher stance than a traditional wagon yet you never get the feeling you're driving a truck or van. Easily accessible third row seat gives each of our kids the chance to 'bring a friend' along to movies or outings, and makes arranging carpools much easier. For a mom who spends a lot of time taxiing her kids around, I'm thrilled to have a comfortable and stylish vehicle to do it in!
LOVE MY PACIFICA
I HAVE LEASED TWO JEEP GRAND CHEROKEES IN THE LAST SIX YEARS. THE PACIFICA THAT I NOW DRIVE RIDES AND HANDLES LIKE A SEDAN. THE OVERALL STORAGE IS GREAT. I REALLY ENJOY THE COMFORT.
Perfct Crossover to SUV, Van, Wagon
This vehicle is a very comfortable feeling car. It feels very solid, safe and luxorious. So far, the horsepower and gas mileage have'nt been a problem. It's comparing equally to my other vehicle, which is a mini van.It drives exceptional on the highway and during our first snow storm, handled treacherous roads great.
Amazingly apportioned
Short but sweet: what it lacks in looks on the outside, it more than makes up for with plush appointments on the inside. I was absolutely stunned with the endless list of standard features and beautiful options. And extremely safe too!
Best Used Vehicle for the Price
I bought mine used with almost every option except Navigation (couldn't find one with it) for a great price compared to everything else for its size and utility and quality. Its been great but now I like the couple updates in the new ones - guess I'll wait until they come down in price.
Really like it but!!!!
Basically I am very pleased with the Pacifica except for one very disappointing imperfection. The suspension is noisy. Minor imperfections in the road, parking lots etc. produce near continuous background knocking or "thunking" noise from the suspension. As roughness in the road increases so does the noise to where a moderate bump can, but not always, produce loud "thunks" for lack of a better word. Only on the smoothest roads is the suspension quiet. Do others note this condition???
Good by Lexus RX
I don't know what Ron from OR is talking about. The quality of my Pacifica is well above my old problem plagued RX 300. I think I smell a rat with Ron. Sales must be slow at the Japanese dealership he sells cars at. This thing is WONDERFUL!
Pacifica - PERFECT
What a car/SUV! I have 3 small kids, plenty of room. Unbelievable utility. Nice leather interior and set up. Plenty of options to move seats, use space for luggage and trips to Home Depot. Large roof rack for additional storage. No problems in ice and snow, quiet and very comfortable
The best new middle-class SUV
This uniquely-designed SUV is perfect for the mom who does not want to be labeled a "soccer-mom". And sporty enough for the wanna-be "macho" dad. However, this vehicle is versatile enough that it can appeal not only to a family but to singles as well as a two- person cohabitates. The Pacifica is sleek, but sporty; fun, but reliable. In fact it feels like a sports car with its quick acceleration. We highly recommend this vehicle for anyone looking for an affordable, sporty, economical, and attractive SUV.
Wonderful car
This has been one of the best cars I have owned. For an SUV, it rides like a dream on the Mercedes chassis. It has been extremely reliable. The only minor problem I had was the setback button for the top part of the seat would not work, but the mechanic fiddled with it and got it working. I still have the original brakes at 57k! My hubby had an LHS when they first came out; it was also one of his favorite cars, and he has since owned a Cadillac and two BMWs. I also owned a Chrysler van which had no problems either. If they made this in a hybrid, I would buy it again.
Poor customer service
The car drives better than any car I've ever driven. Handeling is wonderful. Our problem has been service. The engine light has come on twice. The first time they could not locate the problem. The second time we waited forever on a part and was told by hte service manager parts are extremly hard to get. He said he had over a hundred cars that had been waiting as long as 9 weeks on parts.
Room for improvement
Traded in Suburban for Pacifica AWD. Nice styling. Nice, smooth ride. Seats not as comfortable as Suburban. 14.7 mpg on last tank (significantly worse than advertised @ 17 mpg city!) Hi-end Surround Sound sys. is great IN COMPARISON AGAINST STANDARD SYS. - BUT, It falls short of other mfr's 5.1 systems (2004 Acura TL system has much better acoustics and clarity!) Navi sys is quite useful, BUT don't like having it in center of speedo. C-Pillar dangerously obstructs view.
Best on Road for the Money
Tons of room, High end features, fabulous ride, kids flip over the seperate controls, rear seat warmers, dvd system, soft seats.. biggest back seat legroom i have ever seen!!!!!!
Everything I expected and more!
I selected the AWD with heated leather seats as best for Wisconsin winters. After three months of winter driving, I found it to be safe, comfortable - a joy to drive even on slippery roads and sub-zero days. The stability of the platform on all kinds of roads and in all kinds of turns is outstanding. As to gas mileage, I knew going in that it was going to be about 20 mpg and after 1500 or so miles, 21 on the highway and 18+ in town are the rule. Likewise acceleration of a 2.5 ton vehicle is not that bad. I have had several Chrysler Vans that were a lot lighter and didn't do that much better.
Excellent Buy
This purchase was a replacement for my dying Jeep... and although I still miss my Jeep, this was a great replacement buy! The vehicle offers much of the same options available in similar vehicles with about the same price line. o Seating is spacious and comforatble. o Once the vehicle gets moving, it picks up beautifully. o The ride is exceptionally quite (except if you have only one window open - then you get that buffeting noise :) ) o Mileage is better than expected (remember I'm coming from a Jeep). Overall, I think this is an excellent buy especially for folks with older kids in the family - less fighting because there's no touching.
It's a winner
This has been the perfect family car. It has the functionality of a mini van and the looks of a european luxury car. You can see the Mercedes influence in this car! The one improvement that I would recommend is an upgrade on the interior carpets. Once you drive this car and compare the others you will buy it.
Never again
I bought my pacifica thinking I was getting the newest trend. The only thing I got was the shaft as in the drive shaft. I had to replace both within first year and both motor mounts. The transmission is terrible and is slipping. It does not handle well at all. Never again will I but one.
Best vehicle ever owned
It has more power then I need.I get better then 20 miles per gallon in town.Tranmission is so smooth you do not feel it shift. I do a lot of mountain driving and handles great.I use it like a truck,I do home improvement jobs.
2004 CHRYSLER PACIFICA
car is alot of fun to drive. we drive the texas hill country and it really hugs the curves, is quiet.car like ride. shifts like a standard.once you learn the controls, all the buttons and dials you can adjust with very little distraction. excellent exterior/interior lighting. 300m engine has good power.(other reviews say it doesn't)you can see the german marriage to chrysler starting to pay off.
A Beauty
Impressive looks with room, luxury features and comfort. All wheel drive is terrific in slippery conditions. Combines the feaures of a station wagon, mini-van and SUV.
fun from Catonsville
Excellent handling, excellent comfort from a previous Lincoln owner this is the perfect autombile for a crossover.
All Purpose "Sleeper"
I just bought a used Pacifica AWD 2004 @ 38,000km and put-on 4,500 km in 8 weeks. Long distances feel as though the real time is halved due to the high level of driving comfort & sportiness. Stepping out of a vehicle without driving fatigue is a pleasure. No reliability problems to date and performance is acceptable for highway passing. I recommend a fully optioned Pacifica. A used buy is excellent value. It is too bad Chrysler mgmt. has not backed the higher priced Pacifica concept as it is an original design & quality build.
Fabulous
I can't believe how well this vehicle handles. You don't have the roll of a higher SUV and it corners very well. Smooth is the best way to describe the ride, my family and I are in love with this car.
a lot for the money
The Car is a modern station wagon. The power isn't great, but it will do for a mother of 2 and 2 dogs. You have to be carefull of blind spots. About the same as any other SUV. Its unique, but will it last? It has to Mercedes bet a lot on it. Shares a lot of interior style with Mercedes. You get a lot of car for 35g. Much more than GM. The DVD is great. I give it high marks for toys...Average for power, good for ride. Don't pay more than invoice. They gave me 500 under plus 3000 cash back. They aren't flying out.
This car is a real blast!
We weren't planning on getting a new car this year, but a rear-ending accident, totalling my Chrysler Town and Country suddenly put us in the market. We were pretty much ready to by either a new mini-van (not my first choice) or a large SUV when my wife saw a commercial for the Pacifica. We decided to take a look over the weekend and halfway through the test drive, we were both sold. The Pacifica is so unique in many ways both my wife and I love it. And we get plenty of attention from the curious where ever we go.
Great Chrysler
Good alternative for a minivan, and not the mommy mobile.
be careful!!!!
I have had my Pacifica for 5 months now and it has been in the shop with 3 MAJOR problems. The first time an airbag sensor went out and the part was on back order for 6 weeks!!! That's right...no airbags for 6 weeks. Next an antilock brake sensor went bad...no anti lock brakes for over a week. And then a wheel hub assembly went bad..no wonder chrysler gives u a free loaner for this car!!!!!
Pacifica 2004
very slugish in pull off from stop terrible fuel consumption
AWESUM CAR!!!! i luv myn
It is a great car. It turns on a dime and is very nice on the interior. It is way before its time and is the perfect family car!!!!!!!
The Birdman Flies in his Pacifica
This sleek sedan/SUV is the way to go!!! It's unique style and reliable performance make it the envy on the street. Additionally, since the Pacifica is still a relatively new model, you will probably be the first in your community to own one. ENJOY the experience!!!
Wife's Selection
My Wife choose the Pacifica, a Great fit for her. Steering is very tight, with great response, seating is comfortable. The only negative is with 6 passengers, the luggage area in the back is very slim. GPS in dash is very easy to read and use.
This vehicle has set a new standard
Every where we go in southern California, we get more looks than when I am in my Porsche. My wife and I laugh at all the attention the Pacifica gets. The vehicle is the most impressive vehicle I have owned, ever! The ride is awesome and quiet, the amenities are great. We make excuses to go places just so we can drive in the car! Honestly, I believe the Pacifica has set a new standard for SUV's and Mini Vans in appearance and luxury.
