2006 4dr Sedan 340-horsepower 5.7L V8
5-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 This is my first Chrysler. There has always been a reputation of being a big car for "older people". The 300C with the hemi makes us middle-aged people feel great about driving around town. As far as image, those people that love the style always look. see full Chrysler 300 review

2008 4dr Sedan 340-horsepower 5.7L V8
5-speed shiftable automatic RWD		 Despite bad luck with their cars always had good luck with their dealers. Have been innovative and first to market with a lot of good products lately, new ownership, lifetime power warranty - hopefully they will turn it around. see full Chrysler 300 review

2013 2dr Convertible 101-horsepower 1.4L I4
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 One of the really sad things about the Fiat 500 is the way FCA is handling the brand here in the US. The Fiat 500 is actually many different cars, some good and some not good at all, but to most American buyers a Fiat 500 is just a Fiat 500. Nobody really knows if you are talking about the 500 hatchback (a true retro economy car), the 500L sedan/wagon (the dual clutch gearbox has not worked any better for Fiat than for Ford in the Focus/Fiestia), the Abarth (a real fun car for drivers only), or the 500X (Built on Jeep running gear With more style than off-road performance). Only the Abarth stands slightly apart since it is devoid of Fiat badges and costs a good deal more than most other "500" models. see full Fiat 500 review
2012 2dr Hatch 101-horsepower 1.4L I4
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 Fiat used to have a so-so reputation because their cars rusted. This car has a 'not-rust-through' guarantee for something like ten or twelve years and is totally galvanized metal. It is a very stylish car, too. see full Fiat 500 review
