| Powertrain performance: The 4.0 L is a powerful engine mated to a great 6 speed automatic that works very smooth, and the pick up is better than most V-8 engines. |
| Fuel economy: This vehicle gets an honest 25 to 26 mpg on the hwy at 70+ mph. In town it's 17 to 22mpg. That's bettr than the Jeep Compas we had. This is one of Chrysler's biggest cars made in 2007 and with 4,700+ lbs it's hard to beat! |
| Materials & workmanship: Everything both inside and outside reflect top notch quality. Leather seats are so very nice The Bun warmer is really great in the winter. And the back seats have the seat warmers too. The out side is almost flawless in paint and fit and finish. |
| Reliability & durability: Lifetime power train is unbelievable! No one else offers that and you can get a lifetime extended warranty also. We bought that as well. We ar so very pleased. |
