- Forget the Chrysler Town & Country, literally. Instead, feast your booster seats on the completely redesigned Pacifica. This minivan vaults Chrysler from last place into a strong contender for best-in-class. Find out why with KBB’s Micah Muzio.

Is it bad that I got more excited watching this Chrysler than the Porsche 911 Carrera review they did awhile back? 😂
Also really cool how he was so animated w/ his daughter!
Agree! the minivan was calling his name!!!!!!!!!
Some people see the pacifica as a cheesy, family vehicle. To me, it seems like the ultimate road trip car. You have plenty of room for friends and their stuff. If you needed too, a couple people could sleep in it, because you have that much room. It's easy to drive all day. It's awesome.
Honestly, road tripping is one reason I'm looking at this.
@@stephenreed3381 Me too!!!! LOL
Portable office for me.
Greatest reviews on UA-cam hands down.
*Most entertaining
+24/7 Gaming yes
carwow is also just as good!
slice n' dic
you are absolutely 100% incorrect!
Though I'll never buy a minivan, I do like its interior design ALOT!
That intro is basically why I love KBB.
She is so adorable Micah. Great review as always.
My fiancé and I have been anxiously awaiting this review. We decided if Micah and or Zach liked it that would be all we needed to take the plunge. And furthermore I will happily tell all my minivan hating friends that Micah Muzio has advised me to tell them they can kiss my grits if they don't like it.
So you have someone to blame IF errr umm WHEN it falls apart. For what it is it's your best bet right now but it isn't going to last.
I would defiantly wait on the Redesigned Toyota and Honda models coming out.
Do you make/like/eat grits? I know it's an expression but...ijs

I'm 16 and I really want a minivan... is that bad? :D
Ian Tavenner not really...they get shat on but they are like pick up trucks great haulera that can move people
Ian Tavenner yes
i’m 20 now, but when I was 18 I scoured craigslist for the cheapest running minivan I could find so my friends and I could hotbox it when the weather got too cold outside lol anyways I found a 2003 grand caravan for $400 that had a steering wheel wobble... long story short I replaced 1 tire and I still have that van today. easily the most reliable/versatile car i’ve owned I recommend everyone gets a minivan at some point
not at all!
I'd so get the Pacifica, I'd love to have it!!
The Sedona's exterior design I really like, but the Pacifica's is also great looking, those two are pretty hard to choose from.
I don't have kids but this van got me thinking to have children.
wow Chrysler secret agenda of populating the earth with more Chrysler fans seems to be working.
Matthew Palanca lol
Matthew Palanca just so you can buy this van
Matthew Palanca no kidding. im not into minivans but when i saw this at the la auto show i fell in love with it. better than the ugly ass odyssey
get a big suburban or tahoe
Awesome vid broski....plus your daughter's smile helped to sell my wife the concept of owning one!
This guy is GOOD at car reviews :) 👍

Step 1: Shift to US.
Step 2: Marry someone, get a green card.

Step 4: Buy this van.
#LifeGoals
Lmao
LMAO!!!
you are the guy!
Zubin B. How bout not getting married save your money and buy this van o yea don't have kids neither
Step 5: Van has engine problems.
Step 6: Take it to Chrysler.
Step 7: Chrysler makes up lame excuse not to fix it under warranty.
Step 8: Pay $3,000 out of your own pocket.
Step 9: Kids don't eat for two months and 3 of 6 kids die. At least Chrysler saved $3k.
Just love those Stow & Go seats. Travel with an Aero Bed Full or even Queen, stow the seats, and you can use it for overnight accommodations. .Just shower at a gym. I rented a Pacifica and it was a pleasure to drive. Only caveat is that it's a Chrysler product, so you just know that there are quality problems lurking, which is a shame.
my aunt and uncle test drive one recently and were evolved in a serious accident. The van looked like it was hit by a train. seeing the picture you would expect they would be dismembered. But fortunately they were almost unharmed. They actually bought one after the accident. (which wasn't their fault)
WOW!
Chrysler has a big hit with this one. Great review KBB, you're among the best.
We just had our second child, we travel a lot with yearly trips to Florida (and California starting next year) and we are looking to upgrade from our Jetta TDI. I got to say, this minivan is very tempting even though I am dead set on getting either Ford Explorer or the GMC Yukon.
Who needs Power Wheels when you have Micah?
God, Monday's are so hard to wait for...
Your daughter adorable 😊 and this review is top notch. 👌
These reviews help me cope with Monday's
So this is the first time I've watched a KBB review, and also my first review with Micah. Damn, that was entertaining. You've earned a sub for sure, I look forward to exploring the rest of your work.
Love this Pacifica, but I love my original Pacifica, too!
I’m really considering buying this nice looking minivan but Is true it has electric transmission problems as well as suspension ?
I read lots of reviews stating that it has transmission problems 🤦🏻♂️
When I first saw this Chrysler Pacifica Mini van a friend had one in white and I fell in love with its noticeable difference from other vans, just kidding around with him I would tell him to take good care of his Pacifica because I was going to be the second owner. Well here we are and I was able Thank God to buy a used 2017 this van has lots of room, what a difference in this and my Kia Sedona. I was hoping for a good review and this gave me just that, thanks. Now if I could just learn to use all the features I’d be dangerous, lol. Oh and mine is a beautiful black on black in black surrounded by black, through and through.
The most enjoyable and informative car review ever. Just decided on our new ride.
Bought mine in November, One of the best cars I've ever owned
That's awesome, glad to hear you're happy with your purchase!
Currently renting this minivan, love everything about it except for the engine stopping at lights or traffic and starting when you depress the brake. It'd be okay if it was a smooth transition but it's jerky. If you could deal with that everything about it from this review is true. Great pickup and corners like a sedan.
I'm liking this not because I like Chrysler, or minvans. But because you and your daughter are great!
it is fun to watch these guys car review.
I used a decibel reader on the Cell phone during a test drive of a Touring L Plus trim. The Active noise cancellation as well as acoustical glass and insulation package combined to produce only 40-50dbs. By contrast vehicles without those features will score between 50-70 dbs in the cabin noise category. They quiet tuned the vehicle well. Lower trim lines get less insulation and may have louder cabins.
As a car guy, I'd didn't think I'd say this but that's a nice interior.
i have to say, you are the funniest reviewers on UA-cam… GOOD JOB!
this guy, and his reviews are freaking GREAT!
They put the nine speed POS in the Pacifica ? Thank goodness I went for the high trimmed, much cheaper, same engine with a decent six speed Grand Caravan !
Great review. You did a good job I was well entertained and informed. You should do another with high trim or other van models with your daughter of course
We just traded ours in today for a new Honda Odyssey. Our Pacifica started to Rust on the hood in several places (it was even garage kept), and the transmission was clunky. Apparently, these cars are notorious for having bad transmissions and rusting easily.
Why aren't girls drawn to guys with minivans especially really cool minivans like this? lots of room to help them moving and taking them out for a night on the town, and private room in the back for a little X rated fun lol!
Nice review man, you really know how to make your reviews excited, and your little one is so cute.
Love the alliteration: “Vexing vents!”
Wish they brought this to Australia. That stow n go system would work so well in practice
Oh my god, he has spawned
Yeah, I'm shocked too.
Lol... fucking troll
Micah is gonna make a great dad.
she is so adorable... i didnt even notice the minivan
I like this review style....wayy better than I expected.
Like all Chrysler products, I'd wait until after the first year to see how reliable it is.
In my experience, Chrysler's Trucks and Minivans has always been super reliable.
Simplex SM That's unusual, given that every reliability study says they're well below average.
+elton john Most likely because of the jeeps and the smaller cars.
If you take care of them nothing goes wrong most the time, now if the vehicle has not been taken care of, when it gets older with 100,000 Miles or 160,000 km on it all the problems start to come in at once since nothing was maintained properly and age is cruel. My mom had two Chryslers, 1st one was an 04 Pacifica. It was pretty dependable in that it would start up every time as long as the battery had a charge, but a few things did go wrong like there was a mild rust problem since I reside in Canada (frame and exhaust) and that I would say was the biggest issue. But it was a TANK, and if you got into an accident. Well lets just say its the other vehicle that is gonna take the beating while the Pacifica will drive away and with little damage, depending on speed of course. 2nd Is a 2012 Dodge Caravan, and I must say this is one of the most reliable Chrysler products out there. Had it since 70,000km and it is at 150 ish at the moment and all it had between then and now was a mis fire in one of the cylinders (I think it was just the spark plug). But there is a tranny issue which developed where shifting from reverse to drive really fast would usually cause a clunk. I blame the way it was driven, going into the next gear while in motion aka R to D while still rolling backwards slightly (Women, am I right?). Also its not like the either cars are being cared for as much as any car should be cared for.
Simplex SM I have a 2009 town and country and in one year I had to replace the tranny at 73k miles and the rear ac system at 79k miles. A total of $4500! Only in one year!
Very good review. The minivan looks awesome, shame there's not a five seater for the UK. Oh, your daughter is a real sweetheart.
A very good review. I thought your daughter was the highlight of the review. Great choice to add her in.
Just the BEST reviews period. Really enjoyed this one too! You make them fun & adorable, not just info. Very entertaining, looking forward to next :-) likd n subd.
Best mini-van by a mile, period.
I actually liked the look on the old pacifica...
Minivans! Great for hauling your drunk friends too! (I advise you to take a bucket with you)
Great review! Thoughtful and full of sane humour. Love it. You must be from Calgary because I saw you were driving under the airport tunnel in one of your videos
The vent scene was amazing
if this thing proves to be reliable, its a great minivan...design is awesome!
Micah awesome review like always happy to know you're a father too
Best review ever! Great fun to watch! Thank you!
Kiza
My son is named “Micah” because of you bro😂 not “after” you but rather because we were thinking of names and I thought of Micah from KBB and I said “How about Micah?” And she liked it. Anyway we’re working on a 4th and I need a van.
I own a pacifica and my only issue is that if you try to accelerate when moving, your transmission takes over a second to decide to shift down...i wouldn't call it a slushmatic but its pretty bad
Chrysler doesn’t make good automatic transmissions, it could be why u are experiencing problems with it
great review and hillarious
Love the review and the vid bro! U need to do more vids.
I would wait to buy this van I would wait about a year to see if any recalls/issues pop up
True! And that can be said for pretty much about anything these days because something's are bound to fail.
Wait to see? It's a Chrysler,this vehicle by itself is an issue.
+penvon True people would be better just buying the Japanese competitors
Such an adorable little girl, and you're looking like a happy new dad. Is there plans for a all-wheel drive version of the Pacifica?
that pacifica does look awesome
Wow a good car from Chrysler! Hopefully it has no problems, like the average Chrysler.
lol
lol
This is a Wonderful Van I just got it in Oct and I have to say I'm really happy!!!
got 08 new sienna 80k present and the only thing i can remember so far is to changed my tires brakes oils bulbs and battery.
She's adorable! Love the reviews
Thanks, Arslan! Glad you enjoy our reviews!
Thank you for replying! You and Zach are absolutely incredible at what you do!
This van looks like a luxury vehicle. Is it or isn't it.
luv that minivan,.. it corners like it's on rails
I'm sorry but I can't help but stare at that sexy Integra Type R on your shirt....one of those cars I wish I could go back in time and slap myself for not buying when I was 19....darn it!
Acc0rd79 buy one now! You probably have more money!
I love her little spout!
Unless you're looking to spend 40k plus, the Kia Sedona in SX trim (minus the expensive technology package) is still a better value. It's the only minivan (except the crappy Caravan) to include Nav for under 37k, and includes as standard leather, blind spot warning, read cross traffic alert, heated and cooled front seats, a 110v outlet, backup camera and sensors, heated second row seats, 3-zone climate control, keyless entry, push button start, power handsfree liftgate, and a subwoofer. Kia/Hyundai also have the best standard warranty.
While the vans have gotten sportier and more refined they also seem to be getting smaller. Maybe it's just the styling that makes them look smaller than they are.
Amazing and funny review! But when you were listing the other minivans, you forgot to mention the Nissan Quest.
Not competitive.
ZL1Gimpelson Maybe. I'm not sure, I've never rode in one before.
+ZL1Gimpelson people still buy them. Some just forget it exists because it hasn't been updated in so long.
Vikk 54 I could actually see that.
Heheheh...
...oh, wait, you were serious.
Here. Let me laugh harder.
AAAAAHAHAHAHAHA! XD
Good review. Thanks.
Really good review! Loved the humor. Thanks.
I have three kids and the two oldest sit in the back...how is the view of the DVD players from the back? right now we have the odyssey which has the overhead player. I also think the seats are wider in the odyssey.
Great review! Really enjoy watching KBB reviews! You have an adorable little girl!
Excellent review. Very enjoyable to watch.
I love these reviews! Youre so funny and silly lol, we totally have the same sense of humor so i laugh alot while watching. Great review as usual
ok Micah....your own money....current odyssey elite touring vs this one. what's your pick?
LOVE this review video!!!! Love the funny side of it!! Thanks!! It was awesome to watch!! 😃😃
wow beautiful car!
Your kids is adorable!!!! Congratulations!
wow that stearing wheel and leather color reminds me of crysler 300 exective class!!
Nice van but you think Chrysler would have had the center stack all centered up. The navigation screen and the ac controls lined up. The ac controls off center looks poor planned.
Looked up this review since we are gonna rent this car and it was filmed in my neighborhood lol that was kinda cool
Yes. Is there a Honda vac?
I'm not a very enthusiast to minivans, but after see this video I will consider buy a " Pacifica"
Cool DC2-R T shirt!
Merry Chrysler
It has so many nice features and is pretty stylish inside and out (and my test drive was very nice), but I'm just on the fence about the Chrysler brand (FIAT at that, and always have been a Toyota or Honda person)...but it seems if Toyota or Honda doesn't start giving out any better incentives...I might just have to go with a Pacifica.
Also the way that Chrysler seems to be discounting the prices of their Pacifica has me worried that it would not live up in the long run for reliability (I hate how all these consumer reports/reviews put a reliability rating on NEW cars...especially a new model that is built from the ground up).
Great car! I wish they sold this in the U.K. But also in a 5 seat version that is smaller along with this one
We have one of these. Very useful car in general, but lots of weirdness too. Biggest issue is one we just hit. I know supply chain in an issue everywhere but our car has been in the shop for literally MONTHS waiting for a wiring harness the manufacturer can't/won't get us. After that long, I don't care if you have to tear it out of a new car, you have a responsibility as the manufacturer of a 50k+ car to ensure that car is able to be repaired in a reasonable time frame. A week, two weeks - sure, stuff happens. Three months? No. It's not supposed to be a disposable car at 50k.
That seems pretty strange as the 3.6L V6 is a common engine as well. and not just in the Pacifica. Also, in the RAM 1500, Charger, 200, 300, Avenger, Challenger, Durango, Caravan, Wrangler, Journey, etc. you get the gist...
best part about this review....the epic integra type R t-shirt.
I like this minivan
This guy really likes chucking things, and slamming things. Don't he?
I know this is random but .. Where was this filmed, and what Holiday Inn is that at 4:55? There was one like that in Destin, Florida years ago, but it's long gone now. Wife and I miss it, big time.
Henry Hunter Long Beach, California
This guy should review more cars.
Oh! the baby is so cute! the car is also cute
Remember that video
