It gave me what I wanted
Bought it with 130,000 on the clock, and would still be driving it if it wasn't for Hurricane Sandy. For a minivan, it did what I wanted: hauled my family and stuff in reasonable comfort for a relative minimum of maintenance hassle. Watch that underside-stowed spare tire: it rusts harder than granite. It drove less than confidently in snow. Had to have the exhaust manifold replaced at about 140,000, but otherwise required no serious work. Overall, it gave me what I wanted.
You get your money's worth.
Purchased car new in 2003, and now have 55,000 miles on the odometer. Car still has original brakes, tires and battery. This van has been problem free from day one. Easy to park and drive in the city, and on the highway you can lock the cruise control on 70 MPH, and the van rsponds effortlessly. There is very little wind or engine noise. Get's about 22 MPG on average. It's amazing how much stuff you can haul when you remove the 3rd row seat.
Very Happy at 38K, except...
...a water leak somewhere in the dash. I'm a guy who recently inherited a new family via marriage. Went from a Toyota T-100 to the 2003 Voyager. Got a previously leased one for a song. I use it for multiple purposes...commuting (25 miles each way), travel, hauling. I was surprised! Actually has a sporty feel for a mini-van. Handles pretty well, I guess because of the short wheel base. Decent pick-up for a mini-van. Clean dash layout. Comfortable, too! Heavy seats don't bother me. Great value for the money. I compared it to the Town and Country; the latter was more luxurious but lumbered like a land yacht. Voyager is basic mini-van with value and so far, reliability (except for that leak).
Bad transmission
Transmission blew at only 79000 miles. We had xmission serviced at 48000. Engine has ping. Exhaust system has loud rattle they can't fix. Outside trim pealing back. Toher than these, we are satisfied with this vehicle. Oh, did fail to mention, I will never buy from Chrysler again!
Great Van, Great Value
We had a 1993 Voyager that was totally troublefree for 10 years. The new one is vastly improved in the areas of quietness, smooth ride, good power, and ease of access. Very comfortable highway cruiser and city commuter. Perfect compact size -- yet ample space inside. Overall, a great balance -- very comfortable, easy to live with, enjoyable to drive. Get past the "minivan image" and just enjoy what a great vehicle these are. Paid a shade under $20K for a fully equipped 3.3 "Popular Package" LX with ABS and CD/cassette as the only options.
Still going strong
Reliable car, runs well still. How much fun can a minivan be to drive, so I only gave it a 5. The baseline model could of used a few features like heated mirrors, power windows. Otherwise the exterior is a nice look. The stow and go seating would of been a nice touch. However the car is still going strong and I hope to take it over 100k before I begin to think about replacing it.
Chrysler Hates Tall People!
My wife has a pt cruiser and I drive the Van. Chrysler HATES tall people. And they especially hate tall overweight people. I have problems getting comfortable, hard to get in and out of. No where for my knees etc. If you do get this dog, GET a 6 cylinder, not 4 banger! No power! Transmission pops, clanks and scares me.
2003 Chrsler Voyager LX (Used)
I bought this vehicle as a replacemnt to a 2000 grand caravan sport that was a lemon. This vehicle though less fancy has more power and runs flawlessly. Althought the interior compared to most is sparse, all u need is there competent heat and AC and a very good compact disc player. I also opted for the child seats which my 4 year old loves.I bought this car with 29000 miles and it runs new!!!!
So far so good!
Van has 18000 miles...so far no problems.....even had major accident wiping out whole drivers side...wife walked away from it...11,000 damage. Overall comfortable , convenient and with rebated was lowest priced van at the time of purchase, other than Kia Sedona. Didnt hear many good things about KIA. Very happy except when traveling on hill / mountain areas. 4 banger has no power except when u rev it to death....but compromise in power for MPG. Van steadily gets about 22 or better on road trips...got 27MPG on trip to Florida.
Missing Important things
I bought this car thinking that Chyrsler was a top rated vehicle. While I'm pleased with the overall car I found some things I don't like. First: I didn't buy the baseline but this 2003 does not have remote mirrors. What gives? Second: I have two bench seats. I can move the larger to the front, but the small one can't go into the back. Poor design! There were other things that were more my fault for not looking at better, but......ummm. Not a happy camper.
