I was disappointed to learn Chrysler decided to discontinue the Pacifica. It is a beautiful and powerful SUV that rides like a car. I was impressed with it when I rented one for a week on vacation, and thought about buying one in the future. Instead, I am now looking at another Town & Country minivan with the same 4.0L V6 engine, but with a 6 speed automatic transmission. I test drove one recently with all the options and it is an incredible value for the money. Nothing compares to it, and there is so much more utility in a minivan than a regular car or truck, I really think it is the ultimate family vehicle.

have o6 pacifica, good thing they are not going to make it in the future
get 12 mpg city--maybe 14mpg hiway. dealer claims milage will improve
after i get more mileage on it. yea sure anybody want to buy a bridge.
Talk about blind spots. the pacifica has every car beat. Only good thing
about the car, it does make you a better driver.

I had a 2005 touring. It was one of the worst vehicles I have ever owned. The front axel kept breaking, I had my breaks replaced within the first months of having it, my raido never seemed to work. And by the time I got rid of it, 2 years into the lease, the engine was making a terrible clinking noise. I will never buy another Chrysler vehicle again.

Ive got a 2005, and I love the thing. Good size, does well in the event of a crash. Unfortunatly I have seen a couple in wrecks. I have put 30,000 or so miles on it, and I get an average of 20.0 to 21.0 miles per gallon according to the computer.

I got mine because of the low lease price. The vehicle dtives OK but is thirsty on fuel. Very careful driving will get 20 mpg. Used to run Concorde that got 24 mpg with same size engine.

I own a 300C with the 5.7 HEMI. I spent a week in Florida on vacation and rented a brand new 2007 Chrysler Pacifica with the 4.0 V6 with dual exhaust, and 5 miles on the odometer. When I turned it back in, it had 1300+ miles on it and I have to say, it was a great car to drive. It had plenty of power, room and it got about 21 mpg driving 80 mph on the Florida Turnpikes back and forth from Orlando to Miami. If I had not already decided to buy the 300C, my next choice would have been the sleek, beautiful and practical Pacifica.

I bought a 2007 Pacifica and I LOVE IT! Its very comfortable to drive and very powerful. I have to be gentle on the gas pedal or I might peel out. It glides down the road. The gas milage in town has been 16.8 MPG, which is slightly better than reported. I heard that the 2007 models have a stronger engine than the older models.
