Well, I figured it was a brand-new 2015 model with under 1000 miles on it, so how bad could it be? (Also the only other option offered to us was a pickup truck and we didn't want that.)
At least it got us there and back on a 2000-mile or so round trip without incident. It's just that I wasn't expecting a 1970s compact-car level of interior space combined with a lackluster engine, vague steering, torque steer, wobbly handling, and the shifting characteristics of a 1950s-vintage slushbox. Add to that all the interior ergonomic disasters and it just adds up to a big "WTF?" experience.
I just thought I'd share this here both to vent and in the event anyone here might actually be considering buying one of these turkeys. I have no idea if this model is representative of Chrysler's current lineup. I'll just be happy to get back into my old Saab 9000.
