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

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

Ford Explorers were long a bad brand based on the tire fiasco that was proven, for the most part, was owner created. So have high expectations that it will improve. see full Ford Explorer review
