  Solid, quiet - but many mechanical issue - 2000 Plymouth Grand Voyager
  By Caseybea - October 5 - 3:53 pm

  I have owned since I got it new in 1999. For those considering buying one used - I recommend caution. Overall, the van is reasonably solid, and the seats are all heavy and mostly comfortable (way better than current stow-and-go). Quality/reliability is a concern - the alignment went bad after about 80,000 miles and theyve never been able to fix it right since. Front suspension on driver side is rusting through the body. Went through two transmissions. A/C compressor blew at only 34000 miles. Many other failures that have become expensive. If you can find one of these with low miles, its a good van for long trips. Highway mileage not terrible, but city mileage is low.

  Good Purchase - 1998 Plymouth Grand Voyager
  By BillF - September 25 - 2:00 am

  This has been a very good vehicle for us. I have only replaced normal things and we have over 100,000 miles on the vehicle. It has started using oil. I now use one quart every 1,000 miles. I believe the oil is leaking, not being burned. I would recommend this vehicle to anyone.

  Best car Ive ever owned. - 1999 Plymouth Grand Voyager
  By Alan B. - September 4 - 3:10 am

  Ive been driving for 44 years and owned maybe a dozen cars. This is by far the best of all. I have 210,000 miles on this van in 10 years. Its been tuned up only twice, the last time being 3 years ago. Just last week it passed DEQ/EPA emissions testing with flying colors. Not one major component has ever failed up to this point although it appears the starter may need to be replaced soon. Ive driven 4,000 mile trips and enjoyed every minute of driving. On one trip in 2008 I drove 1070 miles in 17 hours in a single day. A week later I made the retun trip in a single day. At no time was I uncomfortable or fatigued. Maybe I own the exception rather than the rule but I love it.

  Bad buy - 1998 Plymouth Grand Voyager
  By viktoo - July 2 - 2:00 am

  Extremelly disappointed. At 33000 miles the transmission went on the highway. The car was in the shop every three weeks with something going wrong. I also had a toyota that was at 93000 miles and still going strong without any problems. This car was just a major disappointment. Plus hardly and driver leg room. On long trips i would just cramp up.

  Hey, its a van -- dont dream big - 1999 Plymouth Grand Voyager
  By Me - June 8 - 10:40 am

  Hand-me down from a family member. 99k miles. Engine and ride are nice, although the 3.3 liter is weak at passing speeds and gas mileage is miserable - Edmunds says 18 mpg city, 24 mpg hwy. Ive yet to break 21 mpg, and thats even driving 100% freeway on a few tanks. City gas mileage is 15-16 mpg. No, I dont hammer the gas pedal.FYI, reliablity not promising - previous owner had to pay 1k transmission fix that was under extended warranty, but the warranter went bankrupt (go figure) - meaning owner paid for warranty, but ended up paying for fix anyway. One more reason why I dont believe in extended warranties. But hey, I got this van for free, so why the heck am I complaining?

  Good Van - 1998 Plymouth Grand Voyager
  By MiniVan - May 20 - 7:20 am

  Overall good van. One problem was 2 yrs ago AC compressor blew up - would not have been too expensive except Chrysler was too cheap to install an in-line screen on the ac lines, thus metal exploded into ac lines. My mechanic tried in vain to flush, but ended up replacing compressor, etc. He probably spent 2 weeks - on / off trying to fix - labor was probably 2 grand, but he only charged me 2k w/ all parts & labor. Also front headlights stink - plastic covers have discolored over time - but these lights never illuminated greatly. Other than that van has run 10.5 years w/out too much of a problem. Would I buy again yes.

  The long hauler - 1998 Plymouth Grand Voyager
  By Grocery Getter - February 24 - 2:00 am

  As far as comfort goes, the grand caravan fits the bill. The captain chairs are comfortable, and I love the arm rest. I have driven 12 straight hours in this van and never been uncomfortable. The twin bench seats gives my 3 kids plenty of room for sitting and napping. The dash is very well laid out, and stereo is a breeze to operate (even my wife can use it). The only mechanical problem so far is a quirky transmission. You have to nearly floor the pedal to get it to downshift, and at slow speeds it tends to occasionaly slip and bump. The AC compressor bumps the motor enough to be annoying.

  Great Car!!!!! I recommend it!!!!!!!! - 1998 Plymouth Grand Voyager
  By BrennenP - January 24 - 10:00 am

  We have had our minivan for almost 5yrs. We love it. The only problem was that it flooded in 1998 and sprung an oil leak. We had to drive for an hour eleven times before they figured out the problem. Their customer service remained strong, though. They provided us with rental cars and in the end, the twenty-two hours spent driving there and back paid off. Chrysler gave us a complementary seven year waranty. Other than this problem, it has been a great car. We plan to buy another in 5 yrs.

  3.3 V6 is a Great engine - 1999 Plymouth Grand Voyager
  By tmgj - January 5 - 10:26 pm

  Our van has 189,000 miles and is still going strong, original transmission and engine. A couple times a year it needs a new part or two, but its always small, cheap stuff. I think the transmission problem is with the 3.8 V6, not the 3.3 b/c me and everyone I know with the 3.3 hasnt had transmission problems. I splurged on new shocks/struts and tires and the thing cruises so smooth down the interstate youd think it was new. Weve been very happy with this van. Only gripe is the gas mileage, 14 around town, 20-21 on the highway, its about the same as an SUV.
