2005 Chrysler Pacifica Review

Over the years, Chrysler has come up with some pretty nice vehicles. The 2005 Chrysler Pacifica is no exception. From its wide, well-balanced exterior, to it's large, upscale interior, this car is pure art. From the very first Chrysler New Yorker, to the ultra slick Chrysler 300, you can tell by the artisan-ship that Chrysler was in the car game to win the appeal across the board.

The first thing you may notice when looking at this vehicle is its exterior. It is slightly smaller than an SUV, but comfortably larger than a 4-passenger car. It is considered to be a mid-size crossover SUV. While the description of the vehicle changes with whom you ask, the style is unmistakably classy. Most cars come equipped with 17-inch tires, but tire size can change, depending on the style of Pacifica you choose to buy. With three different options, Base, Touring, Limited, and the ultra limited Signature Series, Chrysler designed Pacificas to fit a wide group of customer's tastes.

With a 23-gallon tank, the Pacifica boasts an impressive 325 miles per tank. In the city it averages right around 15 mpg. The highway is around 21 mpg. If you were to use today's gas costs at $2.70 per gallon, it is approximately $62.00 per tank of gas, assuming that you filled it up on while on empty. Stop and go traffic drains a car gas, so the true estimate really depends on your daily driving habits. It has a 210 HP V6 engine ready to attack the road at full speed ahead. It has all wheel drive, 4 anti-lock disc brakes, and handles very well on the road.
