| 2008 2009 Chrysler Pacifica |
| 2008 2009 Chrysler Pacifica handles like a big sedan with precise steering and almost no body roll. 2008 2009 Chrysler Pacifica shares it's 215 hp 3.5L V-6 with the 300M, but this 4,675-pound 'segment buster' could use a little more help under the hood. With three adults on board, it was huffing and puffing up some of the steeper inclines. Once the car was up to speed on the freeway, it proved a formidable cruiser. Pacifica is taller than a car but lower than most SUVs. It also has an exceptionally wide body and is nearly as long as Chrysler's Town & Country minivan. The sole power train is a 250-hp 3.5-liter V6 and 4-speed automatic transmission with manual shift gate. Chrysler says that 2008 2009 Chrysler Pacifica is indefinable, in a segment all its own. Pacifica is perfect for the family of four who has graduated out of their minivan and needs something geared more towards grownup kids. |

2008 2009
Chrysler Pacifica is among the new breed of crossover 4-dr wagons that aim to
blend traits of cars, SUVs, and minivans. From behind the driver's seat, in a 2008 2009 Chrysler Pacifica you'd think you were in a luxury sport sedan. They've even included the obligatory dash-mounted analog clock. The IP flows into a console that carries back between the second row seats. Interior material quality is good. Designers opted for a sports car brushed metal look instead of luxury wood trim. The high belt-line creates a sense of security and the front and second rows of plush luxury seating offer up a comfortable ride.
