Model Reviewed: Plymoth Voyager SE (3.3 L)

Strength:

Simple, practical display and button layout. TONS of space for both passengers and cargo. CUPHOLDERS FOR EVERYONE!!!
Decent comfort, seats are fabric and well padded, something I wish was done more today. All the little parts (handles, hooks, armrests, etc.) are REALLY solid and show no signs of breaking.
GREAT driver visibility. Large windows afford perfect surround view even with passengers. Pretty smart layout.
Engine feels and sounds REALLY solid, even in old age. Standard upkeep should keep you and it happy.
Solid vehicle, feels big but not bulky. Good handling, although I think it takes a bit of extra strength to turn and brake. That might be from age.

Decent Gas Mileage for its size. I've calculated it at a max of about 24, but its usually closer to 20 MPG.

I get the feeling that if a lot of the weight was removed, such as the rear passenger seats and spare tire, it could probably be doing better mileage and less wear on the engine.

SMOOTH RIDE. Shocks have NEVER broken, and they've seen a lot of action.

Weakness:

Could get better gas mileage. 18 gallon tank gives it plenty of range but is expensive to fill.

Rear Passenger seats are REALLY bulky, more than you'd think by looking at them. Two strong individuals can handle them no problem though. Not many amenities, didn't come with a CD player, but was cheap to install one. NO CENTER CONSOLE, but room to install one as well.

Oh, I'll warn you that although it has a jack and spare tire, the wrench it includes can quickly become useless, so I'd invest in a AAA card if you worry about roadside assistance.
The A/C is just BARELY sufficient on a hot day with a van full of people. Otherwise its fine.

I'll admit that there are a LOT of things that could potentially break down on this vehicle, and that will get expensive to replace. I wouldn't buy this thing used as a cheap spare vehicle, you might end up needing to spend an extra 4-500 dollars to get it back up to running condition.

If you own one thats still running, KEEP UP THE MAINTENANCE.

I have noticed minor paint chipping, not sure it thats age, weather, or driving conditions.

Brakes will be replaced more than anything, Assuming they're not abused, should last a couple years before they become an issue.

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.
So far, this car has been to hell and back with no major failings. A lot of flat tires (drivers fault, not vehicles). A car backed into it on the right sliding door as mom was driving my two brothers out of the neighborhood. Noone was hurt, and the worst that happened was a MAJOR dent on the door. Fixed now, door works consistently.
Since I've been driving it, its sustained a flat tire and a bent rim. Plus a frantic drive from Tallahassee to West Palm averaging about 90 MPH, with spurts around 110. Only two stop for gas. Didn't overheat, didn't fail. I've kept up maintenance as much as I can.
I honestly think the 3.3. Liter SE voyagers have a better record than any of the other Plymouth offerings, make sure you KNOW what you're buying. The transmission has never failed, and still feels smooth even as it passed 110K miles.
Brakes are replaced 'fairly' often, as its a pretty heavy vehicle. It handles well, I'd say it requires a little extra muscle to turn and brake, though that might be because of age. I LOVE the exterior design, wish vans kept the aerodynamic look nowadays. LOTS of space. Holds 7 comfortably and you can fit a TON of stuff if you take out the seats.
The engine continues to feel strong. I cross my fingers it will hold out to 200K and do all I can to make it there.

I honestly feel that this is an EXCELLENT passenger van, a good middle ground between the newer, tiny minivans and larger passenger vans. Its large but doesn't feel bulky, and will protect in all but the worst accidents.

It lacks most of the features of newer models, but you tend not to miss them unless you're really used to them. Yes, I worry that the Plymouth curse will hit and the van will go Kaput, but it keeps rolling past each 1000 miles like a champ. If Plymouth sold an updated version of the Voyager, I would recommend it tentatively. As for the 1998 Plymouth Voyager SE 3.3 Liter, I WISH I had gotten this thing new so I could enjoy even MORE of the great times its given me.


I have heard of the many lemons from Plymouth, and I believe them. But I also HONESTLY believe that the Voyager SE 3.3 liter is a superior vehicle that, with menial upkeep, will serve faithfully well into old age.

1995 Plymouth Grand Voyager SE
3.3l V6 - 4spd Automatic Transmission FWD
Bought nonrunning for $800 with 97,600 miles.

Just over a year ago, I was in the market for a vehicle and saw two old Grand Voyagers on the side of the road. I usually wouldn't have considered it, but we had recently bought a 1998 Grand Caravan and couldn't be happier with it. It turned out that the owner had changed the transmission in one, and couldn't get it to start afterwards... and the other was for parts. I paid the man $800 for both of the vans and towed them home. With a little bit of research, I found out that the crankshaft position sensor was slightly out of adjustment. With a little movement the van cranked right up! I have had to throw a bit of money into it to get it into good shape, but it is running strong and I have put 30,000 miles on it. It is at a point now, where I think the transmission may be on its way out, but I am pleased so far. It was a junkyard transmission that was put in it, so there is no telling of its lifespan. I admit that I have run the van pretty hard, and I keep it loaded down with a lot of musical equipment.

It has left me on the side of the road one time, and that was because my aftermarket coil pack fouled out.

Overall, I am more than pleased with my van. It is peppy, it is comfortable, and I feel safe in it. It also has a lot of features that like.

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 :)

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.

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.
