Overview & Reviews

A midlevel Touring model is added to the Pacifica lineup, and the base model loses some of its standard equipment to accommodate a new lower price. Rear parking assist is now optional.

• Exceptional comfort for four, drives more like a sedan than a minivan, top-notch safety scores, upscale interior design.

• Average room for six, not as family-friendly as most minivans, spotty reliability on early models.

  Perfect for Us - 2005 Chrysler Pacifica
  By laservision - December 29 - 8:13 pm

  My wife had a spinal fusion and needed a vehicle that would have easy ingress and exit, give excellent back support and have a smooth, smooth ride. The Pacifica fit the bill on all accounts. The seats are very supportive and adjust to any posture. The ride is buttery smooth, even over the most potholed of Michigan roads, but the car rides flat on curves- no rolling typical of a large American car. We are very impressed by the build quality and interior materials. No plasticky feel or cheap-feeling surfaces. On the downside, the gas mileage is pretty bad with a huge range- from 13.5 city to 22 highway. The sound system has a lot of bells and whistles but the sound is rather poor.

  Very Happy Pac Owner - 2005 Chrysler Pacifica
  By Happy Pac Driver - December 19 - 5:06 pm

  I recently purchased an 05 Red FWD 3.8L 5 passenger Pac and have been very pleased so far. Those that knock the performance must be expecting too much. I transitioned from a Turbo Volvo S40 and I have been pleased with the performance. The car is assembled very well and exhibits surprising handling, comfort and has a quiet cabin. All in all a very satisfactory experience. I purchased mine by way of the dealers internet offer page. My price before tax,tag and title, 19,995! That included the beautiful red metallic paint and the alloy wheels. I think that at that price, my pacifica is a whole lot of car & value for the money.

  Irritating hissing noise "characteristic - 2005 Chrysler Pacifica
  By mmeyers - December 10 - 10:00 am

  Comfort and options are very nice but apparently has a common problem that DC refuses to address ..... a hissing/spitting sound that telegraphs across the front of the vehicle when the AC compressor is engaged. Without masking noise (radio,etc.), it is like a "mosquito flying around your ear". Never had this with any other Chrysler product (98 Intrepid ES, 2001 Town & Country). Even the most inexpensive Dodge Neon doesnt do this.

  One of the best - 2005 Chrysler Pacifica
  By Jack - October 21 - 11:39 am

  One of the best driving vehicles Ive ever had. The gas mileage is not bad for the weight of this vehicle. The only complaint I have is rear view problems. You cannot see good out the back, however driving this SUV on the highway is a dream. Plenty of leg room front and back, handling is also good.

  Nice, comfortable - 2005 Chrysler Pacifica
  By vince120 - September 24 - 2:15 pm

  20,000, 2.5 years into my base Pacifica and everything is going fine. Very easy to drive, more than adequate pickup, good response and plenty of base features have made this car easy to own. Milaege is low of course and its not easy to park, the doors seem like they are a foot thick! When my lease is up Ill consider purchasing this car.

  Pretty good vehicle - 2005 Chrysler Pacifica
  By Ken R - September 21 - 11:26 pm

  So far the Pacifica has performed pretty well. My wife drove it for the first 3 months that weve had it but she has issues with seeing out the back. We just got a Chrysler Town and Country. I now drive the Pacifica. It replaces the Pontiac Grand Prix GTP that I have been driving for the last few years. The Grand Prix performed much better than the Pacifica but is no where near as comfortable as the Pacifica.

  Chrysler Convert - 2005 Chrysler Pacifica
  By dc-in-Colorado - September 11 - 10:00 am

  My wife loved it the first time she saw it, up to now you couldnt pay me to own a Chrysler. We went on vacation in June and the Pacifica was available as a rental. I figured wed drive it for a couple of weeks and that would get it out of my wifes system. Then we could get on with buying something worth owning; like a BMW or a Mercedes. I have to admit we both liked it, It just seemed a little plain. We held off till August to look at a 2005. The dealer was able to get us everything we wanted; color, interior, nav system, dvd, air-bags, etc... Weve put 5k on it so far. The ride is great, performance is good, I like it more every day. This cars a winner

  Enjoyable ride for a family car - 2005 Chrysler Pacifica
  By Rusty P. - September 3 - 3:40 am

  We purchased the Pacifica 5 months ago because of its interior room and styling. With 3 children (ages 15, 16, 20), we needed something that was comfortable for a family of 5 adults and the Pacifica delivered comfort for all. It has a very smooth ride and the handling is outstanding, especially for a vehicle that large. The feel on the road is solid. Acceleration from a stop is not impressive, but once the car gets moving, acceleration is excellent. Cargo space with all of the seats in use is limited, but each of the 4 seats fold out of the way independently, giving you lots of options. Gas mileage is consistent- about 19 mpg in mixed city driving. There have been no reliability issues

  Pacifica Review - 2005 Chrysler Pacifica
  By Linda Huffman - September 1 - 7:56 pm

  Visibility poor. Too many blind spots and back window much too high and small. Center console not designed for the convenience of the driver. Road noise when windows are up is a disapointment.
