Definitely
What are you likely to buy next?
2010 facelifted model - it looks even better.

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Superb. Very big, but you soon get used to it. Great performance from a V6 diesel for such a heavy car
What's it like to park?
A bit of a nightmare. I fitted front parking sensors, and couldn't believe Chrysler didn't even offer these as an option. I note that the 2009 Lux pack now offers them as standard. About time!!!
