Just recently purchased a Pacifica AWD w/ all the options. The car is superb. It is a heavy vehicle but performance is adequate compare to other SUV's. It drives almost like a car but don't expect it to have a gas mileage of a car. Gas mileage is average compare to other SUV's. Visibility is quite a task at first, but I got used to it after a few days. Although backing-up might pose a challenge for begginers. Very comfortable on long drives specially on rear passengers with it's first class seating and DVD sound's great with 5.1 surround, but sub-woofer is not quite powerful but enough to give some thump. The pacifica rides so smooth and very quiet. Navigation is easy to control and it sits right inside where the speedometer is located.Nav is very easy to read and accurate.
If you don't care about all the options pacifica has to offer and you like the it just the way it looked I would suggest get the more fuel efficient 3.8l found on the base model. The base model only offers 5 person seating.
