Stow and go seats make for a cavernous cargo area big enough to haul 4x8 sheets of plywood lying flat on the floor without removing any sheets. For me, the ride is just right. Very comfortable but not so soft as to ruin the handling but not so firm as to wear you out on a long drive and the turning radius is so tight you could practically run into yourself. The only problem I’ve had was a failed spark plug, but that’s not the van’s fault and it was quickly diagnosed and replaced at an independent garage. Anyway, please at least test drive a Pacifica.

Did your Pacifica tester have stow n go?

Bought my 2021 Sienna XSE in January and I love it!

We purchased a Pacifica in 2022. We liked the Kia and Honda. Both were asking for a premium in addition to full list price and the Kia dealer was asking for a $10,000 premium and would only order the top configuration, Which we didn’t want … who needs reclining rear seats.? The top Kia configuration plus the up charge meant about $25,000 more than the Pacifica. it was easy to walk away from the Kia And As an older couple, my back really loves the stow go seats in the Pacifica.

Thank you both for a great review. There is a buyer for each model, based on personal values, needs and wants.

Thats weird. My 2013 chrystler town and country stow n go the middle seats move forward and backward about 8 inches and still folds town into the floor.

Dear lord... so much complaining, criticizing, and ripping apart these vans, which really are fine overall. I've had a Sienna and an Odyssey and thought they were both fine. Neither was perfect and each had minor issues, but they are both good in their own right. I test drove the Carnival as well and was very impressed with it! On another note, does anyone else remember the days when we were happy with a decent car that got us from one place to another? And that was the point of having a car!

@@Abesta83 Really? How about Prius from 2008? I hear that the battery is bad after around 150k miles. And how about Toyota sealing up their transmission, removing the trans fluid dipstick, and calling the trans fluid a lifetime fluid? That is a backward move from Toyota. Also what's up with the unremovable second-row seat? That eliminates the utilitarian aspect of a minivan, and that's a dealbreaker for me.

I have the Hybrid Limited and it's definitely a sweet setup for a minivan. Because of the batteries, it ditches the stow-n-go seats for much nicer captain chairs, power-folding rear seats, and the vacuum (which means you gain a cup holder... why do I need a vacuum in my van anyways, I'm not hauling farm animals in there). Essentially, the hybrid eliminates all of the complaints they had with the Limited AWD version.... and if you do lots of in-city driving, you'll easily get 30 miles on a single charge. Right now, I'm getting around 600 miles between fill-ups because of the battery (about 40mpg combined).

The Sienna gives amazing gas mileage and in todays market that is what matters the most to most consumers. I test drove the Pacifica Hybrid as well and liked the vehicle and drive quality but the Chrysler badge makes me nervous in terms of long term reliability.

I have a 2020 Pacifica plug in hybrid and it’s by far the best. I test drove new sienna and the interior quality and noise were a turn off. Honda was loaded with cheap and hard plastics. Kia wasn’t out. Got limited with all the bells and whistles including pano, Napa leather, deep mocha interior color, and 20 speaker system ($51k-plug in), $45,500 after dealer discounts, rebates, and nys taxes (8%). Bought $2k Mopar warranty, additional 2yrs, equivalent to manufacture warranty for 5 yrs 75 k bumper to bumper overall warranty. Then I got another $7500 federal tax credit. Total after everything, $40k. My entire family, extended as well, are impressed. Great ride, handling, power, refinement, interior quality, and attractive exterior if get right edition. Fuel economy, 32-35 miles pure electric and average 80-100 mpge (No joke, 80-100 repeatedly). In winter, drops to 45-60 mpge due to heater being on and battery performance in cold. When battery runs out, 30-40mpg bc works as hybrid. Due to my commute to work being 10-15 miles, I’m all electric and fill up once a month or two. When I do put gas in, I only fill 1/2 tank bc don’t want to haul around and use old gas. I’ve owned 3-vans, by far the best. After 5 yes, can trade in or keep. Battery and charging/electrical warranties upto 10-yes 150k.

I would never ever buy a Chrysler product no matter how many bells and whistles and whatever price. Got better things to be doing than going to the garage to get things fixed constantly.

One huge factor that people don’t consider when comparing these vans is that the Pacifica has a really hard time FITTING forward facing car seats correctly. The headrest tilt forward and aren’t removable and cause interference in both the second and third row seats with MANY car seats and high back boosters. That is a HUGE loss for me with a van made for families.

First time viewer; great review! Agree with you on a bunch of stuff you covered as I’ve owned Honda Odysseys and a Pacifica. Loved our Pacifica…not sure about where you guys are, but here, you can’t negotiate on Toyotas, Hondas, or Kias at the moment…but Chrysler always puts a lot of money on the hood; so not sure your value comparison reflects reality…we got our Pacifica for 10k less than sticker…no way you can get anything like that off any of the others….Recently sat in the Sienna and was wholly disappointed how cheap it all felt inside…Drove the Carnival recently and loved it as well…We’re getting rid of our SUV and going back to a mini-van…we don’t tow and don’t need AWD that often, so would rather have the extra interior space of the minivan….and, if you want to save gas, there’s no beating the Pacifica PHEV. So much better than the Sienna with a 4cylinder hybrid v a 6cyl hybrid in the Pacifica (but you lose the stow and go…but get more comfy seats).

Many people want the 8 passenger version, but have the flexibility to take out one of the center seats to give breathing room to the passengers. The only reason why I would want a minivan is too be able to walk back to the third row through the middle aisle. But I don't have to have to give a seat to do that. Also, not everyone buys a minivan for family. These vehicles are amazing for cargo transportation. Better than any SUV but the suburban. Being able to configure the seats is a huge feature

Only one of these can do a burn out and it's not the Kia honda or the Toyota

From Australia and I bought the Kia and it is good.

While I might have preferred the Kia, I ultimately chose the Odyssey because it was Available, will have better resale value than the Kia, adjustable armrest that are attached to the seat (big comfort feature for me), the big space in the front for storage, and just overall seemed very well put together. I checked out a XLE Sienna and everything seemed poorly fitted and didn't feel nearly as nice as the Kia or Honda. Another important factor is the Dealer support. I've owned a few Kia vehicles in the past 5 years and the dealers are just not great for service or issues. They sold me a vehicle which had a year's worth of free oil changes and when I mentioned how much to upgrade to synthetic oil, the service manager said you don't need it, only if you drive a high performance vehicle like a corvette.

I have so say that I bought my 2021 Sienna for a few reasons other than saving gas. 1) The known Toyota reliability and longevity that Chrysler and Kia lack. 2) The engine has a timing chain instead of a belt. This saves maintenance and money. The Honda has a belt. 3) I did not have to buy a charger and have it installed. Everyone knows that Chryslers are made to buy and sell within a few years before the frame/body rusts out and before you have replaced the transmission for the third time. They are fine short-term, and that is it. They are just more "Big Three" junk. As for Kias. They are getting better but have yet to prove themselves like the Japanese automakers.
