Good for a non-sport enthusiast

Overall, it's been a good ride. I had 2000 JXI which I was actually MORE happy with than this one. However, it was wrecked. I've had very rough idle engine problems since 12k miles. Dealer claims to have finally fixed it on the 3rd visit. But, still runs rough from time to time. Very impressive mileage for a v-6 in such a big car. I get 30-31 on highway with non-ethanol gas with speeds less than 73. After 73, mileage really deteriorates. (Just imagine if I didn't have that rough idle?) I would NOT buy another. However, would buy a used 1999 or 2000 JXI if the price was right.

Fun ride with decent gas milage. I've driven other LXi rental convertables and have seen a difference on performance. Some, like mine, have a lag when stepping on the gas and accelerating (which is critical for the split second pass). Once it does kick in, there is a jerk and quick acceleration. Sound system is great, seating room is great, trunk space is good (better than most convertables), love the car design and that you can be moving and still open/close the top. I have had the car for two years. I have had the window motor, the electrical light panel controler, and wheel bearings replaced at 36,000 miles.

This is the worst car I have ever owned,The car is fun to drive and the looks are sharp.The major gripe I have is the fact it has been in the shop 9 different times. Minor being the peeling of the steering wheel center cover to major the AC not working anything else in between also. Two many noises have popped up suddenly.This is my wifes daily driver and the two reasons I still have it is she loves the conv. that is why I bought it for her and second is the trade in and resale is awful. I think I got a LEMON.

Only one problem: extremely high wind noise with the top up. A low roaring wind noise comes through the top front and a whistling noise from around the windows. Sounds like you're at the airport watching jets take off! Loud wind noise is due to poor seal with the top front clips and the rubber seals around the windows not sealing tightly. Dealership adjusted windows and the top front clips which greatly reduced the noise but it came came back after a few days of driving. It's actually quieter driving with the top down! Before you buy take it down the freeway with the top and windows up to make sure yours doesn't also sound like you're in a wind tunnel.

Before I had my first 500 miles on the car, I had to bring it back to the dealer for a whining engine sound, which was the first of many visits. I am frustrated with the poor quality construction. I know have 45K on the car and I need a new transmission. This will be my last chrysler ever. The car looks great, as long as it's not moving.
