1998 Plymouth Voyager review from North America
"It's the best car I've owned since my VW Squareback in 1973"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The front rotors gave and uneven, jerky stop when I got the van. The rotors were replaced.
I am used to doing common service on my vehicles; oil change, oil filter, air filter and plugs. The oil filter is tough to reach when not on a hoist; replacing the air filter is challenging at best.
The curvature of the rear window is greater than the wiper can sweep. The upper part is always missed.
General comments?
My cars are always purchased used, nicely broken in at 80K miles. This Plymouth Voyager exceeds what I might have expected. I was amazed at the economy of operation. I just returned from a 2700 mile trip, almost all freeway driving at a steady 60-65.
I'm not a jackrabbit when I drive. Maybe that's why I got an honest 32.2 mpg on the trip.
