1997 Plymouth Voyager Reviews, Pricing & Specs

I actually miss this anonymous mommy-mobile. Yeah, I looked and felt like a dork driving it, but it was very handy whether hauling people or cargo, and it drove pretty good too. Got decent mileage to boot. About the only complaint I had was the transmission was soft to engage into reverse when cold, and occasionally slurred shifts between second to third gears, the transmission being a commonly problematic area for the 3.0 liter Mitsubishi V6 and 3 speed auto combination in whatever it's installed in.Jul 28, 2011

This is my aunt and uncle's family vehicle, a 1997 Plmouth Voyager short wheelbase with the Rallye trim package. It has power windows and locks, cruise control, A/C, AM/FM stereo with cassette player, CD player, and Infinity sound system. It has more than 130,000 miles, but aside from the usual problems that come with age, it is very very reliable. The V6 engine makes about 170-180 horsepower, and provides adequate acceleratation. The handling is okay, as is the ride. The only reason I give the appearance a low rating is because the van has been beaten to hell, and back, several times. My Aunt backed it into my Grandma's Buick in 2000, and has managed to damage both side-view mirrors backing out of the garage. The fit and finish of the interior is nothing special, but the van itself is as solid as a rock. It was a very beautiful vehicle when it was a brand new, don't get me wrong. Of all the cars anyone in our family owned at the time, it was the most popular. Aug 24, 2008
