Chrysler Grand Voyager (2001 - 2008) 2.5 CRD Limited 5d (2002/02) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

Luxurious and extravagent. Must have money for the amount of repairs that will be required.

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

Great, but they don't have to pay the repair bills or running costs!

Would you buy this car again and why?

No. Already sold the car after 11 months and lost over £4,500.

What are you likely to buy next?

Estate car. All people carriers appear to have serious problems.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Franchise

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£11,495

When did you buy the car?

March 2007

Did you get a good deal and why?

Thought so at the time. Promised everything pre-sale, however not everything got fixed. The salesman said they had spent too much on the car already and would not be spending any more, took a snotty phone call to the franchise manager to get things moving. Post-sale appalling. Thought the amount of things that needed doing (cambelt etc) that we would not have to do anything to the car for years.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Family holiday to France.

What was the dealer like?

Appalling. Thought buying from a Chrysler approved car from a Chrysler franchised dealer meant something, soon found that this was not the case. Even Chrylser UK could not help and said the contract was between us and the dealer. Don't be fooled buying from a franchised dealer, get an independent inspection!

What's it like to drive?

OK. Rolls a bit at speed when fully loaded. Otherwise OK for the kind of car.

What's it like to park?

OK. Towbar means you never back into anything. Parking sensors would be a bonus.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Air conditioning compressor, electric window motor, electric fold in mirror motor, hand brake recall, faulty boot latch meant the electric tailgate did not work properly. Final straw came when told by another dealer the cambelt needed changing, this was supposed to have been done at the Sales Service 7000 miles earlier!!!

What's most practical about your car?

The space.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Electric side doors and tailgate.
