I bought this car in 2013. Before that I owned a 96 Honda Accord i bought in 2001. I'll get back this comparison. Since purchasing the car I've had to replace the rotors twice, the radiator, the valve cover gasket, the alternator...twice in the last year, repair the ac, the struts and tie rod. And these were not cheap repairs. It's also very difficult to change the headlights. You have to go in through the wheel well. Drivetrain is the worse in weather. I've owned this car 8 years and had more repairs than a 12 year old Honda. I also do not feel safe in weather, particularly snow. I've had brand spanking new tires and still had problems skidding all over the place. Something I was just not used from being a Honda owner. I had to buy a chrysler to solidify that I'm going to be a Honda owner for the rest of my life. Can't wait to get rid of this car.

I have 45k on this ace. Already had heat go, oil leak, stabilizer bar broke , pin hole in gas line. Back seat came totally off the clip when when I was moving stuff out of the back seat. Water getting inside the door panel of my back door when it rains. You actually hear the water in the door . That’s I how I found out water was inside the door panel. The control panel with the windows unglued and comes out where I can see the wires for the windows. Don’t buy this car. Way too many problems with too little miles

Wish I could afford to sue Chrysler for how off they are about the MPG. Have done regular maintenance on this vehicle over the 3 years I have owned it. No matter how easy I drive this vehicle I have yet to see overy 24 MPG. My average since owning the car is 21. This IS a 4 cylinder. Next, the acceleration is terrible. You press the pedal expecting it to go, wait 3-4 seconds of almost standstill then finally some movement. Not safe if you ask me when defensive driving is important. Braking has never been good. Any quick stop results in the entire vehicle shaking from its horrible anti lock. I have already been told that the brakes and rotors are good so again just terrible mechanics. There are many other things but my biggest pet peeve is the tricks Chrysler uses to force you back to the dealership for maintenance. For example, if you want to change the battery you must remove the front bumper, remove the headlight and then the battery. Even just changing the headlight bulb requires the same thing or removing the plastic in the wheel well. Ridiculous is putting it gently. Just look elsewhere at all costs. Buyer beware.

I bought my car 2 years ago, with 31,000 miles on it. Drives wonderful and is comfortable, but everything keeps breaking on me, the interior is kind of cheap... dont get me wrong i love the way it looks but is very cheap and you can pop it right off. I have had my alternator go out, which caused my battery to go dead.. my head i had issues with my heat.. a bunch of random little issues.. i feel like every time i finally get it all fixed some thing else breaks.. love it but wouldn't buy another.

I bought my car from Carvana with 32000 miles. So far, in the four months of owning it, I have made no repairs. The sound system is great. Passengers constantly remark about the nice bass. It is a comfy car that handles speed bumps and pit holes fairly well. I enjoy driving it. I also have no difficulty recognizing it in a parking lot- as the lovely white paint is still in great condition.
