Plymoth Voyager SE (3.3 L)
Strength:
Simple, practical display and button layout. TONS of space for both passengers and cargo. CUPHOLDERS FOR EVERYONE!!!
Weakness:
Could get better gas mileage. 18 gallon tank gives it plenty of range but is expensive to fill.
I've ridden or driven this car since it was purchased. My grandmother used to to (no joke) drive to the grocery store on weekends, then my family subjected it to a bit more intense usage to drive to hockey games around the County. Now I drive it and haul college friends around. I'm a bit of a Speed Demon.
Similar Products Used: None. My first car. I've RIDDEN in a lot of minivans though, and few are as spacious as this one. |

Plymouth Grand Voyager
Strength:
Powerful, reliable, versatile, roomy, smooth drive, trouble free.
Weakness:
Interior plastic breaks easily, hard on gas in the city, parking is no picnic, winter driving is scary. This van is great. It has over 260K km and is still going strong. With regular maintanance I've never had a problem. It has it's original paint which is only beginning to chip on the hood and rust on the back door. Otherwise there is no rust. I find it very versatile and convienent. The interior is in very good shape but has breaks in it which cause it to squeek when I drive. It has a 3.3L V6 which is powerful on the highway even with 6 passengers. Fuel mileage is not bad, average 24 MPG. I have a "Velocity Tuner" installed in the air intake which helps with the mileage. The seats are bulky to try to take out by yourself, but it is an older vehicle, it was very convienent in it's time. I would reccommend this vehicle to anyone who knows how to care for it. I have replaced the gas tank, exhaust, shocks, struts, ball joints, sway bar & bushings, tie rod ends, wheel bearings, and the normal tune up parts. This sounds like alot, but I'll have my van for 260 000 more kilometers :) Similar Products Used: 1994 Dodge Caravan |

Transmission, transmission, transmission. DO NOT BUY THIS VEHICLE! I have owned many cars over the years and this is the biggest piece of junk I have ever owned. When I bought it in 1999 new from the dealer there were not many choices for a family of six people. I have been through 3 transmissions. The first died at 12,000 miles and the second at 62,000. I have never, ever had to replace a transmission in any other vehicle - foreign or domestic. Similar Products Used: Ford Windstar |

Chrysler Grand Voyageur SE
Strength:
Reliabity, performance, comfort, value, styling
Weakness:
Fuel economy (I average only about 20 mpg), couple of rattles that I could never find or identify, but they didn't seem to hurt anything I purchased this vehicle in 2004 with 62,000 miles on it. I have owned it two years and driven an additional 25,000 miles. I am extrememly happy with this vehicle. I have only had to have regular maintenance performed, which included brakes. The windshield wipers sometimes have a mind of their own, but that can be overcome by turning them off and on again. All of the options and accessories work fine. The ride and handling are good. The engine is adequate. It is a flex-fuel vehicle, but I could never find an E85 station to try. Similar Products Used: 2004 Town & Country

Strength:
lots of room. nice options and comfortable ride.
Weakness:
it dosnt stop! Warranty is a joke! removable seats are too bulky and heave for one person, especally for a mom with lil kids hanging on her ankles. You know I said for a long time I would never own a dodge (had a 1987 daytona...the worst) but because of money restrictions I settled for a plymouth voyager, Honestly the van has not given too much trouble, just that the things that do go wrong are sooo pricey! Let me put it this way, my van runs, but it wont stop! ' At about 156,000 miles I was driving and my brake light came on...before I had the chance to pull over I realized I had NO brakes. Beautiful!! with a little skill and a lot of luck I pulled over and got it into park. I called my husband and he came to look and guess what, it was fine. This went on for about 2 weeks then we took it in for service, what a joke. They had the car for 2 weeks then we find out it was a part that was recalled. Here is the other great news, it was not warrantied after the recall. $1000 to repair a part that was faulty...hmmmm let me think about that NO! regardless, it was a decent vehicle but I really would be careful...there are a lot of problems with these vans and you would be better off with a chevy, pay the extra, save the hassles. Also avoid the 3.0 like the black plauge, they tend to blow headgaskets on a regular basis! The 3.6 is a pretty good motor. |

Sport Wagon Edition
Strength:
- comfort - performance with 3.3L engine - cargo space - smooth ride, great handling - cheap replacement parts - great for road trips - good on rough roads - for a big car, 19mpg is nothing to whimper about, it's not a 2-door coupe - '94+ have dual airbags - walked away from a write-off accident
Weakness:
- tranny mounts needed yearly checkups/replacements, but not expensive - leg room for 7-passenger non-grand versions dismal for backseat passengers. I just drive with the 3-seat bench in the back - belt may sqeak for 50km when wet, especially after a drive-through carwash. it goes away once it dries My specs: SE "Sport Wagon" model, 3.3L V6, 4spd transmission, all options, 215/70 SUV tires I will use the past-tense as this van was recently involved in an accident and was written off. I purchased my Voyager with the intent of driving in the city 90% of the time and hitting the rough logging roads of British Columbia for the rest. With relatively high ground clearence and decent logging road performance, this van (or should I say truck? ;) handled well on the streets, exceptionally well on the highway and didn't give much trouble on rough roads (at non-excessive speeds of course). As with all bigger vehicles, gas was an issue, but at 19mpg in the city I wasn't about to start complaining. Why? The ride was smooth, the handling simply excellent, visibility great, storage never a problem, and with the 3.3L, this van had power! My only gripes with the van were - the engine and tranny mounts would go about once a year. At $200 it wasn't a biggie to deal with anyways - removable passenger seats were heavy, always requiring an extra hand - passenger room was dismal in the non-grand version, but I usually drove with only the bench seat in the back. It felt like being in a limo without the middle bench according to passengers - associated with a soccer-mom image, but I was never one to care much about that There are a number of harsh reviews for these vans, and for the most part, they are reflective of their owners experiences. However, I drive my cars like they're precious commodities. I never accelerate too fast, break too hard, speed up to red lights, do stupid manouevers or push them to their limits. I drive with care and don't work the engine too hard if I don't have to. This kind of driving has kept my cars in awesome condition requiring regular maintenance. TRANNY Yes, the transmissions on these vehicles have caused problems. Again, a large part of the tranny problems arise when the vehicle is driven too hard. Don't spin the wheels, roll off slowly from a stop, roll in slowly to a stop, and don't push the engine too much too often. Use the emergency break when parked, and here's a tip: DO NOT USE the "3"rd and "L" gears. Just use your breaks when coming down a hill and unless absolutely necessary, climb hills in "D"rive. Trust me, keeping the van in "D"rive will help preserve the engine and tranny. And another tip: I put 215/70 tires on mine. They're bigger but they made a HUGE difference in increasing a smooth drive. Also, they complemented the van great on rough roads. Overall, this car was a real gem. It was comfortable, roomy, powerful, and handled exceptionally well. Since these cars are so common and many people have them, buying them used needs some smart thinking. If you see the van has been driven like crazy, chances are it wasn't taken care of properly. People forget oil changes, run the car too hard and push it for all its got. In the end its the used car buyers who pay for other peoples driving habits and give reviews which may sour a cars reputation. Just take it easy, and these vans will last forever! My 94 Caravan CV is already at 400,000 km and still giving all its got. Recently my van was hit by an oncoming vehicle and was written off. I experienced first-hand the safety features this van has and I have no reservations in saying this van saved my life or at least prevented serious injury. Would I buy the '94 SE again? You bet I would, but only if it was driven like I'd drive mine, otherwise it'd be nothing but problems. Similar Products Used: 1998 Nissan Pathfinder, 1994 Dodge Caravan CV |
