Chrysler Grand Voyager 2.5 CRD Limited 5d (2003/03) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Very poor level of interior trim quality not a patch on German of Japanese manufacturers. Exterior seems to have a lot of very tacky plastic bits stuck to it too
Costs
Very poor MPG, but Urban and Extra Urban unless you drive like a little old lady in Devon on a Sunday afternoon. Most parts are stupid prices!

On the road
Driving
Sharp take up on clutch in first gear and lacks low rev power to move such a large beast even when half loaded. Gearbox is absolutely diabolical and I understand from speaking to other owners that second gear syncro is prone to early failure like mine has
Performance
Not too bad, too much torque and not enought power. Needs a good run to get up to speed

Living with it
Reliability
Bad gearbox. Handbrake lever failure common. Front "D" bushes Interior switch gear bulbs soldered to switchs £250+ to replace a bulb!
Image
Looks very good... at the expense of build quality
Comfort
Seats pretty good. Could do with the extras that the 3.3Ltr version has such as individual memory on electric seats for different drivers and lose those American swiches in place of German ones!

Security and Service
Security
Not too ba,d but the radio remote only has a range of 10 feet maximum. Useless!
Service
As with all, unless you personally hound and stay on top of them they take the juice!
