This Year's Model Updates:

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.

Pros:
  • Exceptional comfort for four, drives more like a sedan than a minivan, top-notch safety scores, upscale interior design.
Cons:
  • Average room for six, not as family-friendly as most minivans, spotty reliability on early models.

    Ive had the car around 2 months now and Ive had several annoying problems with some of the dasboard display mechanisms. I have had to have two components replaced in the first two months. Ive also had a recall already. The car is comfortable to ride in but a bit sluggish upon initial accelaration. It does very well in the snow which is the reason I purchased this SUV in the first place. It is also great for kids and pets.

    I am very impressed with my Pacifia . Super comfort and plenty of room for the front and kids in the rear seats . I love the styling and attention I get with this car ! I have had NO problems and feel this car will last me along time .

    Look at MDX smaller gas tank and less driving range and less room overall. Explorer Ford need I say more. BMW X5 no room Big Price tag.X3 what is it? Discovery, Finally it is no more. Land Rover LR3 great looking has all the goodies "its a wait and see" Giant Price tag!!(Ford, get real) MB MLs If I want to buy a Merc made in USA, Oh wait I got one its called Pacifica!! Mls are all made here and are no better than any other American made car. Don’t pay the extra for the label. Toyota and Lexus, same thing different tag. Great trucks but I think they think German only when they price them. Earth to Japan are you there?

    I have to say after reading the previous reviews I am struck by the fact people writing the reviews either seem to love or hate this automobile. I find it to be a fantastic car. More comfortable than my wifes E-class Mercedes, better features and far more reliable. I really cant think of a thing to say negative. Some others have complained about the MPG but, I find that a little silly. This is a BIG auto with a 250 BHP engine. What do you expect??? 17+ MPG in town is rather good. Great highway car, like riding a magic carpet.

    Bad transmission from factory. As soon as we got home it leaked in the garage. Total miles on car 285.

  • WOW one of the BEST - 2005 Chrysler Pacifica
    By -

    Now have 6,000 miles and ready to rate it. Have had nothing but compliments from friends and neighbors who weve taken for rides etc. Great power, comfort, all the options one would want. No Nav system as Im a male and can read roadmaps. Great visibility, ride and easy entry and exit. Were old and need that!!! Never thought we would be so pleased with this purchase.

  • I love my car!!! - 2005 Chrysler Pacifica

    This car is awesome. My last two vehicles were vans (much to my 16 year olds dismay), and this gives van interior with a cool looking exterior. My teen is not ashamed to be seen driving this one! The interior feels so luxurious. Weve only had it for a month and cant wait to take a long trip in it. It handles like a dream and I love all the safety features. Radio/CD/DVD/Volume control on the steering wheel makes it easier to change stations without taking eyes off the road (VERY important when a 16 year old drives). Wish there was more storage space when third row is up, but we are a family of five, so can leave one seat down. Gas Mileage is poor, but a safe and comfortable ride. LOVE IT!

  • Cant be beat for driving comfort. - 2005 Chrysler Pacifica

    Needed more room than a sedan afforded so on the spur of the moment purchased this vehicle. I have been very satisfied.

    I think it uses too much gas but is very comfortable to drive and sitting. Very stury and heavy car. Needs more power though.

  • The engine cuts off! - 2005 Chrysler Pacifica
    By -

    I fell in love with this car for its safety and features. Well, its been in the shop 3 times for problems with the upgraded sound system I bought. Now, its going in because the ABS light is on and get this... the car just turns off when you go to slow down and turn sometimes!!! Also, I was on my way to work this a.m. and slowed down to turn, and the car sped up with my foot on the brake!!!!!!! I am infuriated. I wont drive myself or my 5 yr old in this car ever again. I read online reviews and these engine problems seem to be VERY common. They neglected to inform me of this when I bought the car.
