2005 Chrysler Pacifica Review

　　

zzdcar' Expert Review

by the zzdcar Experts

　　

What’s new

　　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.

　　

zzdcar says

　　The Pacifica offers an enticing blend of performance, style and comfort that any midsize family is sure to find appealing but a rash of repair issues on early models prevents it from getting our full recommendation.
