Broadspeed are offering it on bogof but you can pick preregistered ones for less than half price anyway -- main downside seems to be trim quality and possible question marks over corosion ressistance.

It's made in the US, and you need to ask what it's like

Verdict 6/20

Yes, I had a petrol one in the states for 3 weeks this summer. Overall impression was that it was a very average car. Heavy for the engine, quite slow, fuel economy OK for the US but not for here.
Not huge amounts of room inside. Poor back seat visibility for the kids - doors quite tall. Decent size boot. Don't know about the handling - very few bends! I think there are a lot better and more suitable cars about. I would find it v hard to recommend.

DO NOT BUY ONE

i work for them and on them they are crap

all they are doing is clearing surplus stock thats been stood around

the chrysler network of dealers is shrinking
the one i work at in doncaster is closing at the end of the month

and to top it off chrysler may very soon be bankrupt
