Overview & Reviews
Changes to the Chrysler Pacifica for 2006 include minor exterior trim revisions, available auto tilt-down side mirrors and a larger glovebox. The base engine has also been dropped.
- 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.

2006 Pacific Experience - 2006 Chrysler Pacifica
By DCB - March 17 - 7:59 pmI very much enjoyed this vehicle. Comfort, Style, Reliability, Performance, Road handling have exceeded my expectations from an American made auto product. However, I have just exceeded 36,000 miles and seem to be burning oil. I know this was/is a problem for the 2004 and 2005 model years. Wondering if any other 2006 PAC owners have same experience with burning oil between changes?

Its an OK vehicle - 2006 Chrysler Pacifica
By Teri - October 25 - 9:34 amI bought this vehicle last year because I needed a vehicle with more leg room. I thought the exterior was very sharp looking considering its essentially a stationwagon/suv. I had a VW Jetta with turbo but with the two kids didnt have hardly any leg room. Initially, I really loved the vehicle but after some time Im already looking for a new vehicle. The interior is pretty and there is plenty of leg room but when you have to use the 3rd row seats you cant fit a thing in the back. Gas mileage should be better and the vehicle needs a little more oomph/pick up when you need to accelerate quickly (I feel like a grandma driving this thing sometimes).

Ideal Choice - 2006 Chrysler Pacifica
By Steve B. - October 19 - 11:04 amMy wife and I spent a few months trying to decide on a suitable family vehicle. I no longer wanted a minivan, and the 4+ seats SUVs were too expensive. She convinced me to get the Pacifica, and after 30k miles, were still enjoying it with hardly any issues. I really recommend this vehicle, though a little too much to drive as a commute vehicle everyday.

Dissapointed - 2006 Chrysler Pacifica
By Raulo - July 6 - 11:29 amAt 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.

06 Pacifica AWD Signature Series - 2006 Chrysler Pacifica
By tg - June 8 - 7:43 pmMy 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.

help - 2006 Chrysler Pacifica
By Julie - January 27 - 10:13 amI 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

Love the look, the windows...not sure - 2006 Chrysler Pacifica
By Nicole Larrabee - January 13 - 10:39 amI bought my car for the look I wont lie. It is a gorgeous car! I only wish that I would have noticed that the back window is very small. From the outside it looks deceiving. I personally have a very hard time seeing out of the back window while trying to back up. I feel that the car has too many blind spots and needs larger back windows. I did regret buying this car since I have two small babies and purchased it for its safety feature. Although like I said at the time I was so excited I overlooked the obvious. Also the tint is too dark for night driving. I feel the Town and Country would have been a better choice for me. But for looks the Pacifica wins.

Perfect fit - 2006 Chrysler Pacifica
By SOUTH FLA FAMILY - January 4 - 5:46 amPerfect fit for us enough room for the kids and traveling seats are very comfortable, classy enough for going out on the town, very comfortable to drive, drives better then most entry level luxury cars and safety features are a plus , for the price loaded with leather,dvd, power lift gate sun roof etc, and extra bells and whistles you cant beat it for value of under 27k with chrysler factory incentives. compared it to the Odyssey, quest, sedona and sienna it was a much better value and a lot more stylish and safer feeling. had it for a month now and altough the gas tank is a bit thirsty , we LOVE IT!1

Good attempt at something different - 2006 Chrysler Pacifica
By bigred06 - October 11 - 12:32 pmThis was a nice attempt to create somthing a little different. Its clear that this was a car produced after the merger. The interior materials and design are much better than anything Chrysler produced prior. The engine is adequate but would be alot better it the car didnt weigh so much. Gas mileage would be better as well. The experience making minivans shows in the inside with the attention to details. I like the fact that the seats fold flat without the console in the middle of the 2nd row getting in the way. Thus far mine has been solid. I am curious to see with all the electronics (nav system, tire pressure monitor, EVIC system etc.) will hold up over time. This was a solid effort.

Great wagon - 2006 Chrysler Pacifica
By Prime - September 4 - 1:11 pmGot this about a week ago. Drove it about 1000 miles in the last week. Comfortable and quiet. Nav system a dream for my wife who cant read a map. Problem with tire pressure system errors. Dealer to look at tomorrow. Otherwise no problems.
