Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Amazing value used. Not bad new, but loses money very quickly, but then so do the Fords and Vauxhalls.
Costs
Servicing is reasonable, even by Chrysler. Pattern parts hard to come, by so loses out to more common makes here.

Driving
Something different to the typical Fords, Vauxhall and far Eastern fare. Drives like an American car. Smooth, soft and safe.
Performance
Auto is typical auto. You don't buy an auto for performance, you buy them to make the driving easy does it and smooth. Being a typical American car, it does this fine. As quick as a typical 1600 manual. Shifts when it needs to do, but smooooth.

Living with it
Reliability
Decent reputation. As good as rivals.
Image
Not good in the UK. Should be better. Sporty looking car, different to the rest. Loaded with kit and stylish.
Comfort
All sit low in the seats. Straight leg driving rare these days. Seats are very supportive. Suspension soft and copes well with typical British roads.
