Very little storage space. You'll need a box to hold emergency items like jumper cables, flares, ice scraper, etc.

Not designed for tall drivers?

What were the designers thinking? I went to try out the Pacifica based on reviews. Adjusted seat and steering wheel but could not get into the van without undue difficulty as too low and cramped. Could not fit comfortably in front seat, roof too low, controls not placed correctly. Rear vision impeded by pillars and obstructions. Vehicle ground clearance is too low and long overhang beyond front wheels (not good for places that have a lot of rain/runoff.) Immediately tried out Dodge Grand Caravan. No problems with ingress or egress. Could adjust controls perfectly. Had several inches headroom. With rear seat/ headrests folded, had no problems with rear visibility. Conclusion - The Pacifica designers were all short people or maybe they only feel short people would buy one? . My sister-in-laws' husband had the exact same experience in another city/dealer and he is shorter/larger than I am (I am 6'2''.) Why design a minivan only for shorter people????

We love it!

We've had the Limited Pacifica for about 6 weeks and have put about 3,000 miles and we all love it! The front seats are super comfortable and feels like a luxury car. Both my husband and I love the drive. The van feels very solid, no rattling at all. We did a very extended test drive on our van to make sure of this because of some of the reviews I've read. No issues. I would agree that the second row seats are not quite as comfortable the Honda or the Toyota. Our kids don't seem to notice or mind and we love the stow and go option. That was a huge factor for us and I have used it multiple times. Actually our kids like the middle row stowed and sit in the 3rd row. I've seen multiple folks mention the lack of 3rd row TV's. Every kid can see a screen. Also there are USB jacks in the rear for iPads, you could always but iPad/kindle holders behind each seat if you wanted. We love they van!

Drives like a nice car!

CarReviewer 2017 Chrysler Pacifica Limited with Mocha interior, advanced safety tech, towing, 20" tires drives better than anything I compared in it's price range and even ones that can cost more. It has more features and free XM Sirius for a year, 5 years Travel Link, 0%, rebates, etc. You get a lot for your money when compared to other vehicles. Drives like a very good handling car. Traded in 2010 Ford Flex Limited Ecoboost which was a very good vehicle but Pacifica is better. Well designed minivan, very comfortable, handles well, quiet, smooth driving, good gas mileage, very good stereo, easy to use Nav, great looking inside and out, actually fun and enjoyable to drive, roomy, a lot of storage area, stow and go seats, safety features and more. Did a lot of research for many months even before Pacifica was available and test drove many vehicles including redesigned Mazda CX9, Infiniti, Explorer, Durango, Grand Cherokee, Nissan Pathfinder, Acura MDX, Toyota Highlander, Lexus 350 and others. Drove other minivans in past and didn't care for most interior styling. Pacifica drives better than crossovers. Doesn't seem floaty on highways like some crossovers. Very planted. You don't think your driving a minivan. Very well designed vehicle and put together well with quality looks and parts. So far extremely happy. I don't work for a dealership. Just a very satisfied consumer and I look forward to taking drives in my new Pacifica. I owned a first year model 2005 Chrysler 300C for over 8 years with no problems other than a knob breaking on NAV when they had knobs and got a very good trade in on a leftover 2012 Chrysler 300C Luxury Series I bought in 2013 - a very good vehicle as well. Even though one always wonders about reliability and buying first year cars, I've had good luck with Chryslers and they keep getting better.

What a minivan!!!!

I currently own a 2008 Sienna XLE and always loved it. I just returned from a 6-day family trip. We rented a Pacifica and drove it (I think it was a Touring-L model) for about 600 miles. I got to say Chrysler did a very good job on this van. The ride was very comfortable and so is the driver's seat. The handling felt like a sedan rather than a minivan. The UConnect system was very easy to use. I figured it out in minutes after getting the minivan. The interior was very quiet. After we came back from the trip and drove our Sienna home from the airport, my wife immediately complained about the road noise in the Sienna. Overall, I really enjoyed driving the Pacifica. I would only consider buying and Odyssey or Sienna before, but this van will definitely be on my shopping list when I am ready to buy a new minivan. Anyone is in the market for a minivan should at least take a test drive in the Pacifica.

A cross country delight!

We have had our Pacifica for about five weeks. We ordered our Pacifica early last summer. Shortly after it arrived in late Sept. we drove it from our home in Northern MN to SW FL. We now have almost 4,000 miles on our Pacifica. It has been several years since we have owned a van the last of which was a 2004 Honda. We could not be more impressed with our new van. We averaged between 28 and 30 mpg on our trip to FL often driving into headwinds at freeway speeds. We paid extra for the safety tech pkg, which provides blind spot monitoring, adaptive cruise control and lane departure monitoring all of which are great safety aids. The Pentastar V6 with the nine speed automatic work flawlessly providing great performance as well as outstanding fuel economy. This vehicle is very smooth and quiet. It has a very solid feel with no rattles or vibrations and handles surprisingly well for a van. The seating position for the driver is outstanding providing a great view of the road. The Uconnect technology system is very intuitive and easy to use. The stow and go seats are an engineering marvel. They are very easy to use and make the Pacifica a very capable vehicle. The hands free doors and tailgate are an added bonus. We expect to own our Pacifica for many years. In recent years we have owned Two Lexus RX 350's, a Honda van and two Jeep Grand Cherokees. While I know some people have questioned the quality of Chrysler products our experience is they are as good or better than the other brands we have owned. If you are in the market for a van or full size SUV you owe it to yourself to test drive the Pacifica. You won't be disappointed.

Test drove Limited edition

I have 2011 Toyota Sienna, its 5.5 years old and has done 68000 miles, so I decided to buy another mini van, since Toyota sienna has planned to release their next model in spring 2017 and Odyssey is planning to release their next model by the end of this year, I decided the new Pacifica limited edition because of the hype that I have seen in the ads. This van looks good from front and kind of OK from rear ( rear is little bit shorter looking). The interior has a good speedometer display and I liked the in seat built entertainment system ( has 1 behind the diver seat and 1 behind the passenger seat). The second/third row seats are thin when compared to front seats and that over all looks weird. The storage cabinet between the diver seat and passenger seat are poorly made of cheap plastic and does not compare to the quality and storage capacity of sienna. The drive it self was very average when compared to my 5 year old seinna. We were waiting for a green signal , when the engine vibration was passed on to the van and the entire van started vibrating, my wife and I thought that the sales rep was shaking his leg but he wasn't. This van is no match for the quality of Toyota or Honda's. Consumer report even doubts the reliability of Chrysler brands and I completely agree with them. Other tactics these dealers use is, they will advertise a very low priced deal ( saying "get your internet price", this vehicle was $48000 and was listed for $41650), I went to the dealer in schaumburg, IL and asked about it and they said that vehicle was sold out??? Sold out in middle of the night? Beware buyers. Quality absolutely sucks. It all looks good on TV, but test drive it for at least a few miles before you commit to buy.

So far so good (4 months)

Bought this limited this summer before kick to open doors and vacuum included. 7000+ miles including a long road trip. Excellent adaptive cruise and braking-- saved us from 3 accidents so far. Auto wipers and high beams work well. Top of the line stereo a little muddy sounding. Gas mileage for me a bit disappointing-- averaging 18 mpg-- mostly city driving. Handles great. Couple minor defects so far. Wish it came with apple car play this year. HIghly Recommend the Limited!

Love our Town&Country. Dissapointed by Pacifica.

We have a 2008 Chrysler Town&Country that we love; but we were wanting a new van, and so we went to test drive the Pacifica with the full intent to buy it. But we were extremely disappointed. When they re-designed the van, the designers clearly did not take into account that most people driving vans have families of more than two children (the whole reason to buy a van). While the Town&Country had 2 DVD screens, giving you the option for the third row to watch DVDs without the second row having to see it ( a great feature when you drive other adults in the car); the new Pacifica ignores the third-row-passengers completely. In the Pacifica, there are fantastic in-seat screens for the second row (they are installed on the back of the first row seats), but these screens cannot be seen from the back row when the 8th seat is installed. Which means that if you have any kids in the last row, they do not have the option to watch DVDs. Which seems a huge design-flaw as I know many families whose kids sit in that last row. We presumed that it would be possible to install these in-seat screens for the third row, an obvious fix, but our salesman informed us that that was not possible. So no DVD watching for the passengers in the third row. Meanwhile, if you decide to go sit in that last row, you quickly realize that the headrests are tilted forward at a sharp angle, which was very uncomfortable for an adult. And they are not adjustable. When we inquired about this, the salesperson told us these seats were meant for children, not adults (so they did want children sitting in that row, just not ones that would want to be entertained by the DVD system). But here is were you run into a bigger problem. Children grow. They do not remain tiny forever. Our oldest just turned 15, and he is 5'9''. Still a child, but too tall for the back row of this minivan, according to our salesperson. Thus, he would have to sit in the middle row, leaving our younger children sitting in the back, whining about the unfairness of the screen situation (and no, you cannot have adjustable headrests installed in that last row). So, while we were really excited about the possibilities of this new van, if you have more than 2 children, the Town&Country was a much better model.

I have had the car for one day. The panel vent mode on the climate control worked on the first drive, but is now inoperative. Foot well and defrost work fine but the panel vent mode is dead. Update to follow after I go to the dealer Monday, tomorrow. And the "kick to open" side doors and lift gate are only working about one out of ten tries. I'm doing exactly as the manual instructs so I don't think it's user error. In less than 24 hours I'm having more issues with this car than I have had in the last 11 years with my Lexus LX... I hope it's just a couple minor glitches.

Wow. Feel of SUV with 20inch tires.

It is the first car with the sportyness of an suv and the comfort of a mininvan. Room for everyone and everything. 20 inch wheels a must. Only thing that black interior color shows dirt too much, but 2 tone interior of mocha brown and black with light inside top really make the car feel roomy and regal. Classic car with a very expensive feel. Great alternative to Escalade. Better riding views everywhere in car, more comfortable inside without feeling that you are driving a boat. Pacifica handles beautifully and almost half the price of the Escalade. Would recommend to anyone. Get the glass top too. Wonderful driving experience. Just wish it was less expensive so that everyone could enjoy the ride with all the bells and whistles without the high price tag. Lastly it is a very understated car. I like that because people wont think to steal it first like a BMW or Mercedes, but on the inside it is loaded with luxury.

It's a great vehicle

I'm at a point in life moving from performance vehicles to a minivan and....I've gotta admit, this is a nice vehicle. Super comfortable, easy to drive, good on gas, and...dare I say...even a bit sporty in the curves. Pretty good looking too! Very pleased!

Excellent Minivan with a few quirks..

I have owned several Honda Odysseys over the last 9 years and coming straight from a 2014 Odyssey to the Pacifica is a genuine pleasure. The ride is sooo much quieter. The handling is actually great for a minivan. The engine and transmission are fantastic - very smooth and has tons of pickup when you put your foot down. Very very comfortable inside and the styling is 2nd to none. The kids LOVE this car. They prefer it over my wifes' Audi Q5 for the space, comfort and technology. Some very minor gripes...... It's not possible to enter a destination into the NAV when the car is moving and thats just ridiculous. You have to stop driving before using the NAV. Forget it. Use Waze. Chrysler - why can't my passenger enter a destination? There are a few other strange bugs in the system.. Listen to XM with your phone charging via USB and then select NAV/Climate and the system transfers the audio so that i plays through your phone speakers. Meaning you have to then pickup and unlock your phone to stop it playing. I also cannot turn off the 2nd row heated seats from the front console for some bizarre reason. BUT dont let these minor issues stop you from owning what is an excellent vehicle.

I've had my Pacifica for now 2 weeks. I got the limited model with sunroof. First thing I notice is one of the screens on the UConnect is not working. So dealership had to order another one. The second disappointment is the noise coming from the roof. It's very loud and annoying. So I couldn't rate the noise level due to this. Come to find out this is not the only sunroof problem this dealership has found with the Pacificas. Hope they can figure out and fix this problem. I would hate to know I've paid this much for a vehicle I can't enjoy driving due to this.

We absolutely love this minivan! We've only had it about a month, so questions about maintenance costs and resale value are not applicable. Regarding gas mileage, this vehicle had the highest of any of the vans we saw at 28 on the road. The moon roof is awesome because it goes the full length of the car. The most outstanding feature is the way the seats fold down into the floor of the car--so ingenious! The roof rack tucks in--a lever opens it up when needed. I think this is a streamline feature that will save gas mileage. The amount I entered for the price is the advertised price we paid, without sales tax, other fees, and extended warranty. The car, inside and out, is beautiful! It is so easy to drive and very comfortable. It will take us awhile to learn and use all the features this car has to offer. It seems like the engineers thought of everything!

Not the quietest

I have turned in my 2012 Sienna and got the l plus. The claim that Chrysler makes "quietest in its class" is absurd. My old sienna was much quieter. The road and wind noise levels even with active noise cancellation is high compared to sienna that does not have active noise cancellation. The adv safety tech is okay, but is more like beta and needs lot of improvement. The stop and go is decent but active steering is awful, don't even try it. Interior is good, comparable or better in its class.

This Pacifica has almost everything. Love the tri-panel panoramic sun roof. The clock could be larger though.

Best I ever owned, beats Honda, Toyota, easily.

My 2017 Chrysler Pacifica LX, with the rebates and discounts (not offered with Honda or Toyota), was thousands less than either Honda or Toyota. I paid 25,500 for the base model which is many thousands less than any other minivan except the Grand Caravan. Its the quietest riding car ever. Gas mileage is better than advertised by about 3 miles per gallon, as I consistently get 32 mpg on the hiway, and 27 combined city and hiway. I had a 2014 Chrysler Town and Country, which was also a great van, but this is better as it gets much better gas mileage, is quieter, turns shorter and easier to handle. The stow and go, not available on Honda, or Toyota, makes it the most versatile van ever. I can use it to haul cargo or up to 7 people, or any combination of both. The Pacifica rides quieter and smoother, gets better mileage, is more versatile, Turns shorter and handles better, and even costs less than Honda or Toyota, as I test drove these before buying the Pacifica. I dont know if it will hold the resale value well yet, but someone thinks so as I leased mine for way less than a Toyota or Honda.

Sleek Ride! I feel like I am in my own private modern spaceship with beautiful dashboard - all cushy leather and modern controls. It feels luxurious, spa-like. I am just engulfed in massage! Great 360 degree camera - beeps on the side that you are about to bump into! Rear camera is great because it also shows you your view from above. The most fun is the SELF PARKING! I love putting my hands high up in the air while the car PARKS ITSELF! Then strangers come over to me and ooh and aah! This is great for NYC parking!!! Here are the caveats: 1) NO SPARE TIRE -Chrysler swapped the interior space for spare tire for the vacuum system. I bumped into a curb on a Sunday night - the inflator was not appropriate because tire had a large hole. Needed a flatbed truck to tow it. Now I have to wait THREE DAYS because dealer can't get tire . 2) the vacuum system is a great idea but they need to improve details. Hose was not screwed down properly - so would not stay in place. Dealer is having trouble screwing it down (in the trunk compartment) because of awkward positioning Stowing the vacuum in the second seat side panel is not easy - this needs improvement. 3) seat stowage - the old town and country was much better at this - not so easy and does not stow exactly flat or hidden 4) the feature to kick and the door opens IS NOT AVAILABLE - false advertising

Overall, the 2017 Pacifica Limited with all major options is a wonderful minivan. I traded my 2014 Honda Odyssey Elite for 2.5 weeks ago for the Pacifica. The Pacifica excels in the following areas: 1. Front Passenger Seat Comfort is incredible with the 8 way power and lumbar support 2. Quiet cabin on the highway in comparison to my previous minivan 3. Great upgraded audio system 4. Great cabin visibility 5. The ACC - the adaptive cruise control works without flaw, except when changing lanes it attempts to break when not needed until it fully clears the lane 6. The dashboard cluster is very nicely designed and aesthetically pleasing 7. The stow-and-go seats are incredibly easy to use and stow. I love this feature on the Pacifica. 8. The electrically adjustable 3rd row seat is a winner for my kids on long trips for comfort! 9. Incredible fuel economy on the highway of 25.5 Mpg driving approximately 80 mph. and 10. The upgraded wheels on the limited are beautiful. Since we purchased the Pacifica 2.5 weeks ago I have driven 3,985 miles!!! During this period I have discovered the following issues: 1. The FCW (forward collision warning system) does not function. I have received only one warning during the first 3,985 miles. In comparison, I received numerous per day on my previous minivan. I am thinking the system is either poorly designed or defective. I have a service appointment to evaluate this issue. I am hoping they have a quick fix for this critical safety feature since it is the primary reason I opted for the expensive safety package 2. I am unable to register my apps via the U-Connect App store. 3. The 3g installed is obviously an oversight for a car manufactured in 2017! Come on Chrysler, please step up to 4G/LTE! 4. The third row does not come with a floor mat! Any car with a MSRP of $50,250 should have a floor mat in every row. 5. The HID lights are incredible, but the high beams seem dim. 6. The upgraded video package forgot about the third row occupants by not offering a video screen and/or screens in this row. 7. The armrests have two positions, up or down, they can't be adjusted. All-in-all, this is a wonderful mini-van. The Pacifica, in my opinion, is probably the most stylish and comfortable minivan currently available on the market. I was able to purchase it for $42,499 after rebates and dealer discounts. If you shop around you should be able to get a great deal on the Pacifica Limited.

I traded in my 2015 Town and Country loaded. It was more than the Pacifica. I feel like I've been ripped off. There is no DVD player, navigational, and no USB for the children to charge up their electronics in the back seats. I have told everyone that said they may be buying a Pacifica not to because it is not for the soccer moms like the Town and Country. I told the to go to Honda. Everything on television is a lye. Spacious. Yes. Front passenger seat is uncomfortable for a disabled person. Make sure you think about it closely before you buy it.

Better than my Mercedes

I found this to be a considerable upgrade from my Mercedes GL450 believe it or not. Everything is better but the power, and the Pacifica has plenty of power and with the 9 speed transmission, it is never an issue. Just returned from a trip where I drove 840 miles in a day and a week later back in a day. I did 100% of driving and made two stops both ways. I actually could have made it on one gas stop but nature called plus I need to stretch. It is a drive I had made numerous times in the GL which has air suspension. The Chrysler is quieter, rides better and the front seats are more comfortable more leg room than the MB. One thing I don't like, the wheel tilts but does not telescope. I am tall and like the seat all the way back, and would like to bring the steering wheel back towards me. A minor gripe. I bought the limited with every option. I was very pleasantly surprised by gas mileage. I drive usually at 79 mph on the Interstate and the highway mileage was just under 28mpg. The dash and electronics are laid our very well and I am still learning more features. I am most impressed by the radar cruise control. I have had it on other cars but it was too abrupt and I would not use it. Chrysler nailed it on this car. I now use it almost every time I drive even in town. It works great in heavy stop and go traffic and you do not have to touch the brake or gas from 70 to zero and back to 70. It has 3 settings, I have only used medium and it works perfect for me, smooth on stopping or starting and just about the right distance from the car in front of you. Unlike another car, it does not sense the car next to you and make adjustments in error. It also works well in the fast lane on the interstate, as the speed often in traffic flucuates +/- 10mph and you cannot use normal cruise control. The car pegs it and made my drive far less tiring. My 14 yr old granddaughter rode back with me and love the rear touch screens, they even hook into the nav system and she quickly learned how to determine when we were going to get there as it gives your estimated time of arrival to those in the back. It also has AC controls in the back. We were driving in 100 degree heat and the car kept very cool very easy, the rear has pull down shades in addition to deep tint. Another safety feature on the car, is a lane maintaining feature. It is designed to actively keep you in your lane, it works but I found it a distraction and tiring as you can feel it turn the wheel if you drift towards the other lane. If you let it drive itself, you are doing a series of S turns and a person driving behind sees you weaving on the road and might think you are impaired. On a stretch of open interstate I tried to see how long it would drive itself with my hands not on the wheel. Within 30 secs it sensed I was not holding onto the wheel and it disconnected the system. I assume they do not want one using it with radar cruise as the car would be driving itself. I left the system turned off. Even with the active system off, the blind spot warning with a light on your mirror and an audible warning alerts you of a car in your blind spot if you turn towards it. It has a lot of collision avoidance features, so far I have not needed so not sure exactly what it will do other than actively keep you from backing into something. Another feature that impressed me, was the camera system. You have the standard backup camera that can be switched into a 180 degree mode where you can see cars or people approaching from the side when backing. It also has a front camera but what really impressed me was the 360 degree camera that gives you the view that you would see from a satellite looking down at your car. You see that right next to your backup camera and it shows objects on your side. This car has the automatic parking system for both parallel parking and backing into a parking spot. Both work well. I have the upgraded stereo with 19 speakers, you could not get better sound. Having all seats fold into the floor is a great feature. The limited comes with a huge sun roof, almost the entire roof of the car is glass. It also has roof rails that fold into the roof when not needed, making the car more air efficient and sleeker. It comes with 3 high tech keys. Each can be set for different drivers, you can even limit the speed of the car by programming the key. The Nav system with the Sat radio comes with live traffic updates and live weather radar and all kind of aps you can access from the car. This car has the vacuum and with it you give up the compact spare which imo is worthless anyway. This car is designed for road trips, I already bought a matching full size spare for when going out of town. If I have a flat I want to change the tire and continue my trip, not be forced to try and find a matching tire. If the spare takes up too much space, just buy a streamlined thule cargo box for the roof. I think this is the best car I have owned

Great van.... so far

The 2017 Pacifica overall has been great, I have had it for only 3 weeks but so far so good except the combined gas mileage on it stays between 18-20 mpg which sucks and also there is no CD player!? WTF?!?!

Love my Pacifica

I have been waiting for this car to come out and it meets and exceeds my expectations. I love it! I drive a convertible to my clients and drive my pacifica with my grandchildren and on trips. The vacuum in the car is great. I wanted it with EVERYTHING on it and I love it!

The digital speedometer and computer screen are very difficult to see, read during afternoon sunlight. The transmission has lots of play when put in, out of park. The driver's and passenger seat are too far away from the door entry. It takes long legs, a big step from the ground outside to get into the seats.

Assembly defect. Please stay away.

We bought the top of the line showroom car, yes, the Limited trim with all the bells and whistles. I have never bought a car from the Chrysler group and never bought an American car because of all I have heard throughout the years. Buy my wife and kids wanted a spacious car and we rented a Kia Sedona and a Toyota Sienna and enjoyed the space. So we traded in out perfect (German built) Mercedes GLA 250 4Matic for this Chrysler Pacifica Limited. AS we drove off the dealer lot we start hearing a noise like something was loose on the roof. We had to stop on the way home and found nothing visibly loose outside. It sounded something was just loose on the top. We quickly found out it was the roof glass that was not assembled tight. Went back to the dealer. They took it in and filled the top with dirty grease just to tell me that the glass was not assembled correctly and I had to take the car in next week so they could work on it. All this is just plain unacceptable and unbelievable to me. As I take full responsibility for actually going to a Chrysler dealer and buy this car, I recommend you to keep your money. If you really have to buy a minivan, go for a Toyota or a Honda.

Bought the car on June 25. It was In the CJ dealership for 6 days trying to get the "free" Unconnect Access to work. ( U Couldn't connect to register) Chrysler Corp HQ finally helped by getting Uconnect service people in contact with me. Why the dealer couldn't do this is baffling. Took two tries of a hard re-boot of the system, pressing buttons by instruction to get it to re-load to factory setting, then the uconnect assist person could not hear me. Had to reconnect with another assist personnel. Finally after almost 2 hours of sitting in the vehicle (running) it loaded. Then Theis person tells me my free subscription expires June 25, 2017. I complained, and ther supervisor gave us 2 free weeks. Sooooo the 1 year free (Built into the price of the vehicel) Unconnect access is now 11months 3 weeks. If I renew then, it will only be $149/yr. It better do something special or that renewal will never happen. While sitting in the car so long we figured out that the headrests adjust backward in addition to up/down so they don't hit you in the head. Sales guy failed to show tat feature.

OK, my wife and I are finicky about our favorite cars/vans to drive, for leisure or for work. She has a 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee, I drove a Camaro most of the time. We stopped at our local Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram dealership, for an oil change in the Jeep. So we are walking casually in the showroom, when we see this beautiful red color on a minivan, SUV? We both go towards it and say "What the #@$$ is this!" Dealership owner is walking by, he says "good morning" as do we, then my wife asked if it was unlocked, and if we could look inside? He says, sure! do what ever you would like to. So we did. My wife's wheels were already turning inside her head, and I was floored by the concept and features on this rather large vehicle. We were both experiencing something that seldom happens in our 32 years we've been married. We agreed on the spot, "This is our next vehicle!" The one on the showroom floor was a Limited model in the Red Pearl coat finish. We haggled a price with a nice salesman. looked again at each other, and said " No, that's too much." Salesman says there are two other models both in red pearl coat. We got outside saw the Touring model, and only noticed a couple of small details, the other had, and this one did not. What it did have, was 95% of the other options of the more expensive model. Great! Took it on a 15 minute test drive, came back, haggled a bit, got the price we wanted. We spent 5 hours total at the dealership, and bought a new Pacifica. We've had it for 5 days now, and loving it more each day. I have Parkinson's, and other health issues, my Mother is 82. My wheelchair and supplies fit in a few different places inside, while leaving plenty of room for 4 or 5 passengers. I can get out easier, as well as my Mother can get out without any assistance. Looking forward to many family functions out of town, now that we can ride/drive in comfort.

great services

We are driving this care for a month now, had a Sienna before and temporarily a Kia Sedona for comparison. It offers a nice, convenient ride, modern look, good accessibility and view from the driver's seat. We have the bigger LCD display and the rear camera is excellent. Rear cross traffic alert and blind spot warning work very well. The nine speed transmission doesn't allow manual intervention, but it is programmed well and has been working fine under all conditions so far. Gas mileage on highways is better than with previous minivans, in the city/suburbs the same. Overall we can recommend it as a stylish family shuttle that is sufficiently fun to drive.

Only this could pry Mom away from her Sienna

My wife loved her Sienna. Me personally, I hated it but nothing ever broke except the automatic door shutter. I can live with one thing broken on a 100k van used for a day care. Anyway, I just didn't like it. We sold it when we went overseas. When we moved back to the states I got her to buy a Mazda5 for the fuel mileage. Worked fine while we had 2 kids but when we had a 3rd kid it become close to worthless. There's just no room in it. Not only that, I had to put up with the constant drone of hearing how great the Sienna was. "The Sienna could do this and that and that better.... blah, blah, blah..." It was like listening to fish stories. The inside got bigger and it got even better gas mileage every time she talked about it. So, we went to look for a minivan. I was thinking Odyssey, she was insisting on Sienna. On a whim we went to go look at a T&C, friend has the Dodge version and swears by it. So off we go after looking at the Hondas and Toyotas all day. And there it was. I guess the dealer just got them in. Never even knew what the Pacifica was. Hadn't seen a commercial for it and I don't exactly look for vans or really even care. Looked at a Limited. Wife loved the sunroofs. And the seats. And the storage. And pretty much everything about it. Nice test drive. Rode good, very quiet. Went home that night and talked about our choices. She was dead set on the Pacifica. I about fell out of my chair. After 7 years of listening to the Toyota hype she swapped brands. 2 weeks later I'm still shaking my head. Anyway, we had them find what we wanted in the color we wanted. Took them a day to have it transported to us. We just wanted the safety package with the adaptive cruise and the tow package (and 220amp alternator). I put 10 inch TV/DVD players in myself for $300 vs buying the entertainment package for $999. We've only racked up 1000 miles but I actually love driving it. It really is a great van and very well thought out. It actually does get 28-29 on the highway at 70mph. Didn't expect that. And it is very quiet. Very nice van and we're both really happy. Looking forward to taking a trip in it. Haven't heard a single damn Toyota fish story since we bought it.

$36,000 and you have to pay extra for navigation!!

Be aware that you will not get navigation unless you purchase the Touring L Plus and add the navigation package. Any lower package with the 8.4 inch radio requires a dealer install and additional cost of $600 and no free map updates. Yes the vehicle is nice but come on!! I have friends who have navigation on their $15,000 dollar cars and it was included!!! Chrysler's response to me is they will put it under review so I am putting it on reviews. Honestly right now I would say don't buy anything from Chrysler.

Had a Town & Country, this is so much better. It is so much easier to get in and out of. We just got back from a 500 mile trip and it rode great, wind noise was non existent. It also does not look like a minivan, they did a great job on styling inside and out. The only complaint I have is that the radio is always on. There is a mute button to silence it, however when you restart the vehicle the radio will blast you out unless you turned the volume down before turning off the van. They say it is just the type of radio, seems stupid too me.

Pacifica Limited Review

I was ready to buy a 2017 Pacifica Limited but had (2) issues: First, the Limited came with FALKEN tires, which are cheap Dunlops, while the Touring L, (2) models lower, had good Michelins. What gives here? Second, the Invoice stated the vehicle had a vacuum cleaner and remote opening doors, but these features were not on this unit. However, the MSRP was the same as if these features were included at $42,495. How can they charge you for things that aren't on the vehicle? Otherwise, a very nice minivan.
