    Value

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Residual will only be a worry in the unlikely event that I want to sell it.

    Dealer servicing at the Merc-Chrysler site is steep.

    I enjoy driving it more than either the Merc 2.7D or Jeep Cherokee 2.4.

    Pulls marvellously up the local inclines.

    The electric blue is striking in limited trim. I have had several positive comments about it.

    Fine around town or on a journey.

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Not tested, but I also have the smartnav with tracker.

    Service

    4 out of 5 4.0

    I also have a Ford and the Merc-Chrysler dealer beats the Ford dealer by a mile.

    None, reliable and gutsy. MPG is good.

    Yes
