Purchased this vehicle one month ago, and we're still smiling. It handles like a bigger sedan, thanks in part to the larger rims and performance suspension. Gas mileage could be better, but no worse than a mini-van. We are pleased with our purchase so far. Handles like a sporty vehicle and does get positive looks from other people. Interior is perfect. Americans tend to want the "soft feeling" interior, but this vehicle reminds me of a European car on the inside, which is great. I don't sink into the cushions of the car, which gives it a more confident feel. Chrysler is on the right track. We traded our Caravan SXT for this vehicle, and we are thoroughly pleased. SUPPORT OUR TROOPS.

Was very excited about buying this car but now have been let down have had the brakes done 3 times at 48,000 and they tell me its the way I drive. Both visor mirror covers broke off. Passenger window needed to be fixed 3 times. Diver door needed paint because the tape was peeling off. Had to have it brought in because the car would start but no lights, radio, or signals would work. And never mind bringing it in for the recalls. Will never buy Dodge again

Premature Brake Wear!

Had to put new front pads on at 12,800! Need new front pads, rear pads and new rear rotors at 19,800. Service tech at dealer informed me of an issue with the pads from the manufacturer. They are replacing them with longer lasting pads. These brakes are faulty and Chrysler doesn't want to take responsibility.

Bought this in May, took a 2600 mile road trip 2 weeks later. Got excellent gas mileage for a AWD crossover vehicle (averaged about 24 mpg). The DVD/Rear entertainment system was a lifesaver for our kids. Already had to replace the radio though. Not a big deal, just a couple hours in the shop. Still trying to figure out all the options that the radio has. Hopefully the updated CD we got in the mail this week fixes the problems we had with it. Love the amount of room and the storage compartments. Glad we went with all the options the SXT had to offer. We use all of them!
