15 reviews
Great Van – I use this every day I love the electric 2x back doors I love the fact all the rear seats fold INTO and UNDER the floor Powerful yet economical car Incredibly comfortable with electric seats Best van on the market A REAL Cruiser Great for long country drives and camping I can fit a 1220 x 2440 panel in the back Show details
Fantastic car – I own x2 2003 chrysler grand voyager ( SE & Limited ) both brought second hand and both fantastic cars. I've never spent anything more then normal wear and tear on them both. They have heaps of room Great to drive very comfy Love the dual air conditioning that most other people movers dont have. Great on fuel I honestly can't say anything… Read more
bad about the 2003 chrysler grand voyager.
If you have a large family like myself and are looking for a bigger car get a chrysler grand voyager.
I've owned taragos and Caravelles both I've had nothing but trouble with.
half way through and chomping at the bit to drive!! – I bought the 2002 voyager , it had a broken radiator and apparently the radiators are not a strong point.I pulled the Rad out myself and was gobsmacked to see how light it was. I was advised by red devil radiators at Lawnton north Brisvegas that the glycol coolant must be kept up to it .Apparently if the Glycol isn't kept up to it the rads rot out… Read more
real quick and they have been knbown to go in 2 weeks!! I was flabbergasted until I pulled it out and saw the make up of it all alloy and plastic!! At present waiting on the plugs and also have the plug leads and a front tappet cover gasket . I have also replaced the thermostat . Parts all available no problem , but if you buy from Australia prices are ridiculous (35 bucks for each spark plug!!) I ordered the plugs from the US and still waiting on them !! also the gaskets (230 AUD here in Australia) so I ordered from USA and still waiting!~!)
I am hopeful to get her going prior to xmas , if not should be early New Year.
inside of the people mover is immaculate , and after I vacuumed her out the appointments look quite good. I am hoping that she will do the job , If not then that's another lesson !!
Ill get back to you all with the outcomes!
Bought it with problems but easy and cheap to fix – We bought the 2002 car to replace our 1997 Voyager. It is a Limited with 170 000k's and has electric sliding doors and rear doors. The car is quiet and silky smooth to drive. I can fit three kids bikes in the back and still close the door. The keys are coded so the the drivers seat moves to the position of the person that has that key. One of… Read more · 1
the sliding doors would not lock or unlock. The spare part was bought on EBay for $56.00 and takes twenty minutes to replace. The indicator doesn't cancel when you turn left but they can also be bought on the 'net for under $100.00. Two screws and it is installed. The engine sounded like a diesel. An auto sparky replaced a pulley for $300.00.The biggest expensive was that the roof lining caved in- a mobile guy installed a new one for $500.00. It is exactly the same material as the original. I have noticed that a lot of the second hand ones have had the stereo replaced. I assume the original must have been a dud. You can buy Pioneer converters so that the steering wheel buttons still work. A big fat limo that can fit everything. Always impresses when you take the kids friends anywhere. Check EVERYTHING before you buy, wind the windows, open each door etc.
Perfect family mover - top price and value – I have now had our 2002 Voyager for a few years now, purchased second hand from northern beaches of Sydney. (Previously had an underpowered and overstated Tarago) The pulling power and acceleration of the Grand Voyager leaves many other cars on the road for dead even with a full load of people! Never touched anything mechanically and only done the… Read more
brakes, which pulling along and stopping that much car I would expect anyway. Previous reviews of earlier models almost steered me away from buying the 2001 - 2005 models but im so glad i did! Top car, great level of equipment, very comfortable ride and better handling than our previous people mover! I would reccomend this model to anyone after a reliable, safe and powerful peoplemover! Power, comfort, handling, space and practicality.
1998 Lemon! – "Warning 1998 Chrysler Grand Voyager", walk away if looking at this model Grand Voyager!!!! I am lead to believe sounding years may be a bad! Way too many problems to mention, beyond transmission, $6,500.00 to replace, Electric windows, $750.00 each to fix, Stalling problems, instrument failure, clock spring problems, which meant no air bag, no… Read more
cruse control, no horn and no radio controls. They didn't use the Bosch electrical system in these cars which meant if you got one problem, expect a lot more! There are radiator issues, leaking coolant problems.
This is not an isolated issue with our car, it is epidemic throughout the model! Yes, it is practical family mover, but the mechanics of the car are [censored word removed]!!!! Size, practical people mover Everything mechanical, electric or any thing that moved or had a purpose to make the car go, safe and reliable!
Excellent – We have a 2002 model which we bought brand new and have had absolutely no problems with it. It drives beautiful. Hardly any engine noise extremely comfortable and quite a reasonable amount of boot space. Tested other cheaper vehicles and found that this was the best one. Basicly you get what you pay for. Would recommend. Beautiful to drive, having automatic sliding doors, comfortable seating. bit thirsty
Excellent – very happy with this vehicle and would highly reccommend them to anyone in the market for a people mover. The seats are very comfy, the ride very quiet and the layout and vision is excellent. fuel economy on country roads is around 10 litres/100kms and between 12 and 13/100 around town, pretty good for a big vehicle. I have not had any reliability… Read more
problems and there are plenty about that have high kms indicating that there a good car. They have been the most popular people mover in America for over 10 years and sold millions of them there. A great buy second hand, dont even consider a Kia etc without looking at a Voyager first. excellent build quality, very comfortable and plenty of features. Easy to drive, a good turning circle, (better than my magna)and a great interior and plenty of room, even behind the third row of seats. My wife calls it her happy place, she always has a smile on her face when shes driving it, probably because the kids are happy and not in each others way. it takes a bit to get use to the indicator being on the left of the steering column.
Best machine ever owned ! – High praise as I have owned 100's of cars as a Hire car franchisee~ We bought our Grand Voyager with 95,000kms on the clock and after another 10,000kms have only a minor heater fan switch problem. The car drives beautifully on sealed or dirt/gravel roads and is nimble ~ sure footed ~ and always safely under control. Very polite… Read more
with little noise and a superb Auto transmission.
It weighs about 1600 kilos which is about the same as all the other offerings and the 3.3 lite V6 is always adequate power though it feels so smooth it belies it's pick-up power and speed.
It is long and wide but handles exceptionally well and is easy to maneuver.
Interior comfort and space is more than adequate and it will carry a huge volume and large dimension items.
We weren't looking for a Chrysler at all but the vehicles abilities sold itself ~ and it's performance and reliability have surpassed the known capabilities of others we were considering. Performance, Road Holding, Visibility and comfort ~thoughtful design..
Warning, unsafe car – My 1999 is an older model but has had numerous safety recalls over the years. Faulty seatbelts, faulty air bag, faulty roof lining. Front bumper sagging after a few years. Engine cuts off unexpectedly, ghost problem that mechanics are unable to fix. Loss of engine could leave you in a sticky situation whilst driving. Safety rating 2 stars out of 5… Read more
only.
Do your research before buying a Chrysler, hundreds of horror stories from other Voyager owners. Avoid, avoid. spacious, but that's it. Numerous safety faults, serious problems with electronic system, zero reliability.
Excellent – Our 2004 GrandVoyager is going well at 75,000klm and from all accounts will easily triple that before any major work has to be done on it. The standard of build from the Austrian factory is very high. 6 years on inside is as quiet as a mouse, even at speed. Loads of legroom no matter where you sit. DVD player + TV is a godsend for long trips… Read more
and we have a Sony Playstation installed as well.
It really is the Airbus A380 of the road and it's all first class motoring .....love it Ease of driving, huge people capacity, long haul drives are a breeze, loves the open road, sure footed handling (but its no race car). Chrysler service is very good and not that expensive. Fuel economy open road None really other than brakes that could last a little longer before replacement. 35,000klm is what we got out of our rotors and pads. A few hundred dollars is all that it costs and we hear that small cars are getting
Total lemon – I've had a 1998 Voyager since 2002, it has spent more time in the workshop than on the road plus 3 safety recalls. Every repair is damn expensive, Chrysler dealerships ripp you off, last bill $286 to diagnose a faulty cluster, cost to replace nearly $2,200 which is about market value of the damn car. I would be better off taking it to the wrecker. Never buy Chrysler! It is comfortable totally unreliable. expensive, sluggish, a nightmare
Your experience is with the previous model, NOT the 2001-2005 model. I certainly wouldn't rely on… Read more (+1 reply)
Was better than all the opposition people movers when I bought in 2002 – The voyager had the most space and best power for my family when i bought in 2002. Enough for 6 of us and my mum or mum in law! Had issues with electric side mirrors once in warranty and twice out of. Very expensive to fix cost $1200 approx each time!!! I find the brake pedal too far away from accelerator compared to normal cars. Due to being… Read more
converted from left hand drive? great car, more power and space than other people movers. Expensive to service, parts hard to get.

Good – We needed a car to fit our four children under two, i.e 4 car seats and bulky prams and if there's one thing you can't fault the voyager for is the space. the 2006 model has seats folding into the floor which is great as other cars we looked needed the seats to be removed. the two sliding doors are another practical feature. there's also plenty of… Read more
compartments to hide things away. It drives well, although we've had a few niggling problems, rattling noise and hand break, but they were fixed at first servicing. it takes some getting used to when it comes to driving, especially the space needed to do a u-turn. overall, I'm very with the car and I'd buy a chrysler again. space, double sliding doors, seats fold in floor, entertainment system, comfort no handles to get in the back, bulky to drive, wide turning angle, expensive
Excellent – I would recommend this car to any family. I adore so many things that i can't even think of them all and before we bought our 1st Voyager we had a 2003 VY SS Commodore wagon which we loved but this car is so practical it's hard to beat. Even my hubby has got used to it!!!! The standard factory dark window tint is great. The airbag system and… Read more
memory driver seat is also great. We haven't used the stow and Go seating as we have always had car seats in 4 of the seats but ould be handy if we needed to transport something big. Overall great to drive, doesn't feel like you are driving a big car. EVERYTHING!!! We have the 2006 limited. We owned a 1997 model before this and although a little old we liked that one but when we bought this i knew i would have this car for a long time. LOVE the auto doors, very convenient for a mum of 4 under 6yrs. The armrests are great, the under floor storage is fantastic(i keep pencils and books, a potty, a vacuum, Baby Bjorn carrier and numerous other items in there) There is heaps of room in the back for pushers. The middle seats can be reclined while car seats are attached when our 2yo falls asleep. The DVD player can sometimes be a godsend, especially on long trips. A little thirsty but for the travelling we do any car would cost plenty.
