Used 2005 Chrysler Pacifica Wagon Consumer Reviews
Handles Great
We live in Palm Beach County, Florida and as evryone who lives here it can ran pretty heavy and This Car can handle driving threw the worst of down pours, You can drive threw a puttle doing 45mph and the car will not hydro- plane. The only problem is that sometime the car stalls for no reason and the paint chips easy and the roof rack makes noise when driving. Other that that we love it..
I TOOK A CHANCE
I was skeptical about purchasing an American car but I took a chance. It was SNOWING in Vegas when I bought it. I was kicking myself when I drove off the lot with a brand new model with no track record. So far its worth its weight in gold. This car drives like a dream. Acceleration is adequate and more so with the use of midgrade octane gas. I drove from Vegas to Santa Barbara in pouring rain and the Pacifica did not fail me. I felt Safe. The AWD is excellent. The AC system is overwhelming efficient. The car has toys for everyone. Sunroof for me, Navigation for hubby, DVD for baby and Gaming hookups for Jr. Cheaper to insure than an suv, and it finally got recommended by consumer reports.

Loved the Interior Comfort
I liked the ride better than the Jeep Gr Cher and for the price we got all the bells and whistles for what we would have pd for base Jeep. 3rd row a bit too cramped for adults. I hate it being compared to a minivan. We are mid 30s no kids and still want to look cool which I think we do. We've driven it on a few 300-500mile trips and was very comfy and handled great. Not a great veh if your looking for speed or off roading but was great for freeway and city driving. Last trip got about 24mpg. We originally wanted a Chry 300. Again, the interior of the Pac was much more comfortable and came w/ DVD, Navigation, Sirrus, H Leather, Snrf,auto liftgate,homelink and more for under base 300
My Pacifica
Love the car. Will buy another in the future. It's a pleasure to drive and own. I haven't had it in the shop for anything else but regular maintenance. It's such a beautiful car to look at... someone tried to steal it! They were unsuccessful. The alarm system scared them off.
Touring sports car
Drives like a high priced sedan great ride and comfort great styling and room for the Family Chrysler has not done a very good job marketing this vehicle, Compared to the new dodge SUV there is no comparing the two the Pacifica is a far superior beast ! look for your self.
Very pleased with our Pacifica
We purchased a FWD base Pacifica about a month ago, to be the wagon for my wife and myself. We had considered several $25-30K competitors (Volvo and Volkswagen wagons, Hyundai and JEep SUVs), but the PAcifica won out because: 1. It's got enough room to put just about anything in its range to shame. 2. It was much more of a car than the SUVs we test drove. Its handling, particularly considering its size and weight, is very impressive. 3. It's flat out a lot more luxurious than a Volvo or Volkwagen that costs more. We take a lot of highway trips, and the Volvo V50 in particular seemed a bad highway car. The Pacifica's seats are great, and its visibility is excellent for a taller wagon.
Excellent BUT!
Car now has 42,000 miles. Thus far I'm pleased except for the following issues. Have replaced 3 batteries. They just go dead in the garage. No reason that I can see. Have replaced the backup sensor utility which was under warranty thank goodness. Car is fun to drive but does have some "blindspots" you need to be careful with. The battery issues is a puzzling one that just nags at me.
Style and Fun
The Pacifica is stylish and fun to drive. With the onboard nav. system, at a glance of the speedometer cluster you can see the map without looking toward the center radio location as on most models. With fuel prices soaring, the average I get around town is about 20, and on a trip 28. There is power if I need it and economy too.
chrysler pacifica
I have owned many Jeep grand cherokees buying/ leasing every 2-3 yrs. This time I test drove a pacifica, & loved the comfort,handling,& interior design. compared to other SUV, or crossovers Pacifica has it all> style, comfort, preformance,& tires that last ,michlelin,opposed to good year.my mileage is better than my jeeps,& this is a larger, roomer,& much more luxerious veh.
A great vehicle
I've only owned my Pacifica for a month, but it's a joy to drive. After driving a Jeep Cherokee for several years, the ride, handling and comfort of the Pacifica are excellent. After being injured in a side-impact taxi accident last October, it's also reassuring to drive the Pacifica with its 5 star crash ratings. The rear area provides plenty of space for my 2 dogs in their crates.
