2006 Chrysler Pacifica Reviews, Pricing & Specs

This is my second Chrysler Pacifica I owned the fledgling 2004 2WD, and now have the 2006 Limited AWD fully loaded with electronic gizmos! Performance on both the models is a little lacking in the power department, but if you put your foot in the pedal it will move. It's a fairly quiet and smooth riding vehicle which gives the illusion it's not moving very quickly even when it is. When I traded in my 2004 it had a leaking master cylinder (which I'm sure had been leaking for months and I just thought I had a bad cap) and I was told one of the rear shocks was leaking. My 2006 has not needed any repairs and at this point in time has 34k miles on it. I have driven this car on several long road trips between MN and IN, one with my mother and mother-in-law (yes I am crazy) but the Pacifica rides so well no one ever complains about road trips. I have to give it a 5 out of 5 for fun factor when you consider the rear seat passengers speakers can be muted when watching a DVD with the wireless headphones and the front passengers can listen to the single-CD player, radio, or SIRUIS through the front speakers at the same time. The hands free blue tooth interface works amazingly well also, I just wished it could use the address book in my phone instead of needing me to program one into the car. Gas mileage on the 2WD was about 2-3mpg better than the AWD model, I'm getting about 17-18mpg on average with a mix of city and highway driving when driving normal(not like a banshee or a grandpa). I have added optional accessories like the remote start with confirmation of start, molded mud guards, rain drip guards, the iPOD adapater (note it does not interfere with the Radio/CD/or DVD changer), the roof top carrier, all weather floor mats, chrome exhaust tip, and the rear storage liners and find all the accessories where simple to install and they all work great! The paint and finish quality of the 2004 held up to several harsh Indiana winters and summers and only required wax once a year, the 2006 is garaged but I must admit the heater in the Pacifica is very good (here in MN it hits -25 below actual temperature) and it takes only a few minutes for the cabin to be warm and the heated seats to be toasty even in these temperatures. The Pacifica is a heavy vehicle but it stops pretty well, it's not a sportscar, but handles and brakes like a large luxury car more than a mini-van or truck. The interior is quite nice with faux wood grain trim on some of the dash and steering wheel giving it a very luxurious look and the leather seats have a very nice feel as do the other surfaces in the cabin.

Best car! I got my 06 in 16 and it felt brand new even after 10 years! It did start to have some issues around 100k but that was expected. The PCM had to be replaced due to a recall but other than that if they could remake this car (not the van version) Id buy again! :) Spacious, practical, compact, high tech (for the year), and comfy.

The car is a pretty nice van. Quality and detail are awesome. The acceleration is also crazy for a van. Top speeds can go up to 140. Price for mileage is average. about 30 miles a gallon. overall great car.

All around great vehicle and fun and spacious for the family especially since it has a 3rd row seat. Air condition blows perfectly easy to handle on the road and not expensive to maintain. I would recommend this vehicle to anyone even if you do not have any children

The reviews from the owners of 2006 Chrysler Pacifica's has been right on. It is a four star car. I've seen bad reviews for 04, 05, and 07 model years, but I have had no problems and haven't even replaced the brakes (77700 miles) yet. The Touring model is a great car for trips. It can seat six people and the second row has incredible leg room.

We like the head room and leg room. The car has helped us move our children in and out of dorm rooms and apartments. It drives nicely and we've had no engine or other perfomance-related problems. We dislike the horn/alarm system. It goes off intermittently and the dealer won't fix. Driving now with no horn due to problem.Only way to stop the sound is to pull fuse and horn module which leaves me without a horn. Unsafe!

fun car to drive although it is a gas guzzler performance is very good acceleration is very quick depending on how you drive it the cost of ownership wasn't that much its a very fun car to drive appearance could be better but other than that its a nice car

Super comfortable car, good gas mileage for the size of it, terrible blind spot. The car is very quiet, rides nice and is great on long trips. The two rows of heated seats are great, The stereo/DVD system could use some upgraded speakers and an amp. It is a little underpowered but it is a family car not a porsche!

With the third row of seats up, there is very little storage. Most days there are only four in the car, so the third row can stay folded....then there is lots of room. Power is adequate, but not great. The ride is very nice and there are alot of toys in the car. The DVD player is the only way to travel with kids.

I so love this vehicle...the exterior look, the roomy interior...very spacious and wonderful visiiblity..very quiet and solid and stable ride! The independent suspension smooths out bumps etc. Good sound system too
