Can't wait to see the plug in hybrid version due out in a few months. Did see the regular version at the dealer, it's nice but the interior leather color choices are lacking. Only very light and very dark. Following this vehicle very closely in another forum.

Had 2 around 2005 - 2011 and liked them both. Good size without being too big.

NEVER buy a new vehicle the first year it is out. Let them work out all the bugs first. Tried one...test drove it...not for us. Just didn't feel right for either of us. Went out and got the last year for the making of the Town and Country van...2016. But to each their own. Happy hunting.............

My sister has one....has had it for many, many years. She has enjoyed the car, but it is old now and showing its age.

Gracie, I had a 2004 Pacifica that I drove for ten years and reluctantly gave it up a couple of years ago with 160,000 miles. Never had a bit of trouble except for routine stuff! We were rear-ended in 2010 and it did $5000 of damage. We could have totaled it but we liked it so much we had it fixed. I was worried about the frame being bent but our body guy said, "not with this Pacifica, you don't have to worry about that!" We were very disappointed that they had discontinued making the Pacifica in 2007. I've seen the new Pacifica which is more of a van size and would live one but we don't really need a vehicle that size at this point in our life. Unless things have changed I don't think you'll be disappointed in it!

Folks, just to clarify.

I'm guessing that Gracie is referring to the new version of the Town and Country minivan, now called the Pacifica. This is different than the station wagon version they made a few years back.

Yes....it is confusing.

The new Pacifica is the replacement for the Town & Country. It only has the name of the older Pacifica. Compare the 2016 T&C with the Pacifica. If you don't notice a significant difference you should be aware of "HUGE" discounts as the 2016 T&C has to be sold off dealer inventory. My experience with end of model year 2015 was almost $9,000 off sticker. (This was in Northern Ohio)

This is the longest we have ever had a car. We had our last Chrysler Van for nine years. We just bought a new Chrysler Pacifica. It has a lot of amazing stuff on it, it even pushes you back if you go over the line.

It is fun to have a new car.

Sharp looking vehicle. Congratulations and many safe miles! No German car club for you either!

Congrats on your new car. I love the smell of a new car.

What color did you get?

Gracie,
Please do not get to reliant on any "self driving" features. While I like the idea of radar assisted braking, and lane departure warnings, I get concerned when the car 'decides' to do other maneuvers.
Enjoy your new ride, hope to see it at the next TOTV get together at Crispers.

I won't villagetinker. You can turn all that fancy stuff off. I think it would be helpful on a long trip if you were getting sleepy. I do that now by saying " You know, I never liked your mother." (It isn't true at all but it wakes him up every time)

It is charcoal gray 2B. It smells like new car. What fun.

Good luck. Very jealous, what color interior?
