Used 1997 Plymouth Voyager Consumer Reviews
14 Good Years
"Wanda", our beloved family vehicle of 14 years has finally gone to car heaven mostly due to a dying transmission. We took this van everywhere (especially camping), and when I went to college it became my car. Does not like going fast, and sometimes taking turns can make you feel like you're driving a tank...but realistically it's a mini-van not a BMW 5 speed. Would have loved to have driven it for at least another year, but fixing the tranny would cost $2000+ which is a lot more than the car is worth.
My Favorite Car to date
I am 6 feet 3 inches and have lots of room in this little marvel. The dashboard is sexy and easy to maneuver around. I had the dealer make a modification to the accessory relay so that my GPS and phone chargers will stay charged when the vehicle is not running. The ride is smooth and with the double-side doors not a single feel of flex or squeak.

Well the only thing I can say is that I not have any problems yet
Could be better
We bought our van new in '96. We drive it alot. Putting 20 to 25k a year on it. The air conditioner started fadind a couple years ago so we add a couple cans of coolent each summer. The only major expense was the transmission at 105,000 miles. Now at 140,xxx miles we are having some tranny problems again. The engine hasn't run smoothly since 98,000 when I had a tune up done. The gas mileage still remaines between 20 and 23 mpg.
1996 Plymouth Voyager
This vehicle drives very nicely when everything is working, but reliability is a major problem. We've had to replace all of the electric locks, both sliding door hinges and the A/C evaporator and compressor (twice). Now we need new shocks/struts and the valve cover gaskets and engine plugs replace. All with only 53,000 miles.
