  • I really love my car - 2006 Chrysler Pacifica
    By -

    We had a Pacifica as a rental car a couple of times, I liked them so much I bought one......I love the way it handles (was awasome in the snow)it zips in and out of traffic like a small car but has lots of room like a big car. Has a lot of get up and go. I love that it feels so posh inside and is so very quite it relly is like being in Benz. I have a bad back so one of the things is, it is easy to load up (it is a great level) and the seats are fanny level, I dont have to climb up or drop down. I have had it almost a year and have no problems.

  • Great Alternative to the Minivan - 2006 Chrysler Pacifica

    I had eyed this one for about 3 months and finaly purchased. The car is fun to drive and very elegant. Smooth ride and comfortable interior. Mileage could be better, but for a large vehicle it is fine. Mileage for Pacifica was better than my old GMC Jimmy and my wifes Town and Country. You can tell the difference in mileage if you drive it correctly. If you accelerate hard you can feel the dollars being sucked out of your pocket! Overall love the Pacifica and would by from Chrysler again.

    At the beginning this was an ideal car, roomy enough for 6, excellent features, sporty look. But after only an year and 12000 miles I started visiting the service. ABS sensors, noisy steering, and an axle broken! Looks like a Mercedes but with american quality.

    My wife and I feel we made an excellent choice considering the features we got. I has a great, quiet, smooth ride. My wife loves the heated seats. Good features on climate control; really like having the nav system; like the DVD/CD players and especially the input jacks for my ipod. Also pleased with the free 1yr Sirius subscription. There is room to carry everything we need to; now my wife says she can go small on our next car with the kids gone and get rid of the Sienna-oh boy another sports car! The auto liftback feature is neat to have. Wipers do a fine job. Love the design-its uniqueness from the majority of other SUVs sold me.

  • Everyone should have one! - 2006 Chrysler Pacifica
    By -

    I had originally thought the Pacifica was lacking in aesthetics, but now I feel completely different. It shares its sleek design with the similar Mercedes crossover model. Well call it unique. Performance is A++. The 3.5ltr engine pumps out 250hp and is very capable of breaking the tires loose from the asphalt. Fuel economy is average, but certainly acceptable for a full-size vehicle. Interior comfort is a huge plus for those in the front as well as back seating areas.

    Comfortable for 4 people, quiet and rides good. I have over 23,000 miles and have had no problems. It does have some bad blind spots that you have to get use to driving with.

  • Decent Car. Quit Nitpicking. - 2006 Chrysler Pacifica
    By -

    Not the most fuel efficient car (18/25) it certainly is a car that depends on driving style to get the most out of the mileage. Decent power, went through the rockies without problem. Build quality is much better than its non-Daimler predecessors. Is great for our 2 kids. Reverse facing car seats in the 2nd row do not affect the front seat passengers (didnt get that from our old Windstar) Great stereo (love the mp3 player), nice and comfortable for long trips. Cant beat it for the price.

  • avoid the pacifica - 2006 Chrysler Pacifica
    By -

    Good idea, poor execution. Sunroof failed when we picked up car at dealer, took 3 days to fix. Within a week serpentine belt was squeaking like a 20 year old car took FIVE trips to dealer to fix (dealer explained, at last visit, that Chrysler service policy was to replace belt at least three times with Chrysler part after that they could install GM part (!) that actually worked). Dealer couldnt have cared less about problems. Car is underpowered, with poorly spaced 4 speed auto gearing. Terrible climate control (no heat to legs in winter) and poor/slow defrosting. Very disappointing overall, cant wait to get out of lease and into an Audi Q7.

    I have had my 2006 pacifica for over a yr. now everything is great about it other than the gas mileage and the main thing is the blind spots. It really doesnt matter how well a vehicle performs or how pretty it is if you cannot see out of it now does it?I love the handling of it and the inside is roomy. It will turn on a dime but you better look a lot before you turn

  • You just would not believe it! - 2006 Chrysler Pacifica
    By -

    I have owned BMW’s and other luxury cars, but for the money you just can’t beat this one! It is just a pure delight to drive. It is quite and smooth and wind noise is virtual non existent. Road noise is about the same as a 745i but just a tad bit louder. The seats are just right, not to firm or soft; they just seem to hug and hold you. Like most people are saying in here, the leg room is outstanding! As for the wife, she loves the drive height as she can see over the small cars and loves the way it handles. Parking is no problem here! We look forward to a long relationship with this one.
