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.

    More then we ever expected. Looks small from outside, but 4 adults fit very comfortable. Im 64" and fit fine in all seats. We love it.

    I had to give up on my beloved Cadillac Sevelle. 1985 its 20th birthday. How could I find another car to love. My wife has been driving our Dodge coversion Van and is used to its high/big ride and I the big drivers seat confort of the Caddy. We didnt want another truck/SUV. She suggested a cross over veihicle. We looked at the Murano, RX330, FX35. M-class 350 but I needed to see the Motor Trend Car of the Year the 300M. Well right next to it was the PACIFICA and we both fell in LOVE. This was it. Everything we both wanted, everything we needed, more than we expected. Beautiful, comfortable and a thrill to drive. Were like kids again and just want to drive for the sake of driving.

    The exterior styling is appealing and with 19 inch wheels, most appealing however, the chrome clad could be replace with just regular alloy and look much better. The engine at 250 hp is adequate only, the overall weight at 4700 # is excessive and does impact on performance. The 4 speed transmission should probably be a 5 speed or offer a Hemi * 8 that allow for more hp and torque but the mileage of 16 mpg is already too poor. Overall, the interior with leather is adequate, however, some inetrior appointments could improve a bit too lean on style and comfort. Stereo system needs improvement and allow for better adjustments. Speakers are needing much improvement and placement is not ideal.

    We traded an Isuzu rodeo for this car and are very happy. The car/suv rides very nice and the fit and finish are much, much better than any other american offering. The mileage is good and the engine feels strong. Only complaint is the view down the right side of the car since the rear end is cavernous. There is room to spare with the 3rd row of seats lowered. I lug around sports gear for kids and this thing is a joy to load and unload. The small touches done on the inside are nice and the dash is clean and easy to read.

  • A great company car - 2005 Chrysler Pacifica
    By -

    We bought this car after driving Subaru, Ford Explorer, Buick Rendevous, and looking at Honda Pilot. I think we made the best decision buying the Pacifica. WE have 7000 miles in less than 6 weeks, and it has performed flawlessly. A great new car!!

  • A Great Car until it fails - 2005 Chrysler Pacifica
    By -

    Yes, this is a great car, fun to drive, nice size, a unique -now emulated- concept of an hybrid between an SUV and a wagon. Handling is fantastic and suspension outstanding. Finishing looks great but a closer look will tell you is cheap and poor. But the real problems with this car are its mechanical quality/reliability (a lot of small troubles) its guarantee (Only 36,000 miles and in most of the cases, you will have to pay for those small failures as they are not covered) and service/maintenance network (where they will drain your pocket with expensive bills, not covered by guarantee, if they really do what is billed)

  • Love it! - 2005 Chrysler Pacifica
    By -

    I didnt want a mom-mobile, until I got inside. Wow. Very luxurious, comfy for long trips. Fits a lot of stuff for camping and kayaking, tailgating, and all that fun stuff. The second AND third row seats are very comfortable and fit adults very comfortably. Granted, shorter adults will fit better in the third row, but it is by far the most comfortable third row out of all the SUVs out there. My only complaint is that theyre becoming more popular, and its getting harder to find my Pac in the parking lot... Im already looking at getting a new one!

  • Best family car - 2005 Chrysler Pacifica
    By -

    This is the best tribe mobile I have ever owned. After a dozen years of driving Caravans as the family vehicle this is a great compromise. It rides as good as my friends caddy, has plenty of space and is fun to drive. Even after a year and a half the magic still has not warn off. My Vette is even getting jealous of the time I spend driving the Pacifica. Three the family members now own one. My father-in-law even got the same car, color and options. During a family event last weekend it was wild to see 4 of them in my driveway!
