2005 Chrysler Pacifica Review Summaries

What reviewers liked most about the Chrysler Pacifica:

Its sleek lines certainly don't scream 'mommy-mobile,' but look inside and there are more than enough seats to qualify for carpool duty.

-- Edmunds.com

The faux wood trim on the dashboard looks good; it's better than the cheap-looking, satin-finish silver trim that's at the top of the doors, around the door handles inside.

-- MSN Autos

Pacifica comes with a four-speed automatic and is available with a computer-controlled all-wheel-drive system.

-- New Car Test Drive

The Pacifica amounts to a rebalancing of truck attributes, away from boonie-bashing off-road ruggedness and toward confident handling and passenger comfort.

-- Car and Driver

The ride doesn't come across as firm, nor is it truckish or floaty. It's somewhere in between.

-- MSN Autos

What reviewers liked least about the Chrysler Pacifica:

With a curb weight nearing 4700 pounds, acceleration is relaxed.

-- Car and Driver

Best one-liner about the Chrysler Pacifica:

The Pacifica offers all the kid-pacifying DVD-theater-surround-sound options the market desires in a box that's less of a blunt instrument to drive.
