Used 1997 Plymouth Voyager Consumer Reviews
Never Again!
This van is a waste of time, money, and space on the planet. One word. Quality. NOT. How many transmissions should a person be expected to replace in one vehicle? It's been a known problem for so long. Yet they do nothing to improve the quality. We bought this instead of an Odyssey or MPV because it was so much more economical. What a huge mistake. From now on, I will never stray from Honda/Toyota/Subaru. They may cost more up front, but you save with them big time because they LAST and keep their re-sale value. You really get what you pay for. This is a gigantic waste of money. It is the most worthless vehicle I have ever owned. Never again.
great van
I have had my 97 for almost 2 yrs I have put some work into it and for the most part this van has been GREAT I have done most of the repairs myself by watching you tube and i must say I now know I have been getting ripped off for a long time by taking it in to do simple maintenance My husband loves the money we saved I would buy another one in a heart beat
2 transmissions & $4200.00 later...
The odometer just hit 120,000...we are a very "on-the-go" family. So far we have replaced the power steering, entire cooling system and 2 transmissions. The first transmission was at 63k miles (rebuild at $1200) And at 119k the second transmission (entire new transaxle at $3000) Don't be fooled by the affordable up-front pricing, it will eventually make a sizable dent in your wallet. Cheaply designed interior doesn't hold up well.

This is a lemon..plain and simple. It has been in the shop (3 times by tow truck) no less than 3 times a year for different mechanical and electrical problems. Everything from a broken timing belt @ 29000 miles to a busted head gasket at 55000. Turn on the radio and the windshield wipers are sure to work. That relay has been replaced at least 3 times.
Drove her into the ground
I got this van from my parents when it had roughly 140k on it. I just turned 202k and am only now starting to have problems with it (a variety of things that add up to me getting a new car). The most I ever put into it was new tires, oil changes, brakes and new joint of some kind (not very car savvy). It is by no means pretty to look at or not even close to being cool to drive, but it's comfortable and extremely reliable. I would absolutely buy another one if I had purpose to. Only getting a Jetta because I have no need for a mini van anymore.
