I've had this car for 9 years now, and the best thing about it was the lifetime power-train warranty because I purchased it new. I've since had the transmission replaced twice. Fairly dependable. The batteries last a long time on this vehicle. Only once have I had it refuse to start and that was a starter issue. Pretty inexpensive - one of Chrysler's cheapest cars. It survived a rear-ending accident like a champ! Tires wear evenly. I'm pretty happy with it and will continue to drive it.
