Reviewed: 2004 Chrysler Pacifica

4dr SUV 250-horsepower 3.5L V6 4-speed shiftable automatic AWD

Why the 2004 Chrysler Pacifica?

Cargo capacity

Very spacious. Easily possible to carry 6-7ft long items. (Certain narrow items, such as boards, up to 10.4ft can be carried entirely inside the vehicle with the liftgate closed). 6 cu ft boxes fit upright without impairing rear view.

Handling

Except for a slight extra body lean in hard cornering, the Pacifica handles much like a sports sedan.

Ride smoothness

Pacifica absorbs most bumps and dips without incident and mostly rides like a limousine.

Exterior styling

Nicely integrated from front to back.

Why Not the 2004 Chrysler Pacifica?

Fuel economy

Very heavy car. Gas mileage is fair.

Depreciation

Depreciation is atrocious. Car had lost 75% of its value by time 100,000km rolled around even though in and out it is still in excellent condition.

Price or payments

Canadians are seriously ripped off on the price. Even after the re-pricing of 2008, we still pay nearly $7K more for the same vehicle, made in Canada, than Americans do (factoring in currency exchange). In 2004, the differential was closer to $12K.

Driving position & visibility

Visibility out the rear liftgate is poor because of a high beltline. In 2004, a factory-installed rear view camera or back-up system was not available. These are essential.

Color choices

Very few colours available.
