Chrysler Voyager First Drive
Introduction
Rebadged as a Chrysler following the dissolution of the Plymouth brand, the Voyager is a shorter, less expensive version of the upmarket Town & Country and is similar to the Dodge Caravan. Although engine power increased with a 2001 redesign, acceleration remains lackluster and fuel economy unimpressive with the popular 3.3-liter, 180-hp V6. A harsh and unresponsive Four continues as the base engine. The Voyager rides fairly comfortably, and its handling is secure. The third-row seat is a handy 50/50-split bench that's fairly easy to remove, though not as versatile as that of the Honda Odyssey or Mazda MPV fold-into-the-floor designs. This model is discontinued for 2004.
