I leased a 2008 Pacifica Ltd for my wife and two kids...She absolutely loved it and the kids loved the captain chairs with their DVD in the middle..Lease came up a year and half ago and I had to buy my 1st car (aloways leased). I got her a Commander Ltd., as she says, "it is a gas hog and no room or comfort". I wish the Chrysler brand would get another crossover/ Pacifica. That is what keeps the Lexus brand going, the RX. I agree it is the hottest segment right now...

Is the R-Series pretty inexpensive as a used car? I wonder if their polarized styling impacted their resale prices? |

I think it's cool to see how much love there is for the old Pacifica. With the exception of the 3.5 being underpowered it seems like it was a pretty decent vehicle. Concerning quality, I always thought the Pacifica was better than average for Chrysler. I'd be curious to hear what problems Ghost ran into when taking care of his service customers. |

I never owned the Pacifica but rented one in Boston for a 2 week vacation around 2005 or so. It had a 2.7 V6, horribly under powered. My kids were 9 and 5 at the time and could not see out of the back seat windows due to the high window sills. Both kids got motion sickness. I am 6-3, so the seat didnt go back far enough so my right knee rubbed the center console making a raw spot on my leg. My right foot was in pain due to be wedging my foot up and back to try to press the gas petal. Horrible car for me and the airport had nothing to swap with.

I can't attest to the driving characteristics of the Pacifica, however i will agree on the poor styling, as with the R-Class. Then again, they all get it wrong some times, just look at the BMW 5 series GT..... Barf.
