My view on 2005 Ascender

I feel that overall the suv was a very good price. However I feel that the tires that they have on the Suv really STINK! They don't handle well on wet/snow pavement. If they put a better tires on it then the preformance rating I would give would have been much hire.

Great comfortable ride and the fuel economy is pretty good, 6 of us and luggage on a trip over 21 mpg, in comfort. Pleased with the value and the 7 year warranty. And got a great price, $24,250 bucks for this 7 passenger and all the features. We enjoy it more than our Chrysler minivan that we never could feel safe about, or always worried when the infamous Chrysler quality and transmission would break down. Pleased with the Ascender.

As this is a larger SUV than the one we traded (Mazda Tribute), we didn't that the ride would be quite so smooooth! Nice! Just hope the vehicle suits us as much as we like the handling - thus far.

I keep reading the reviews and can't understand why they rate it low. I love the vehicle. It has power and steers fine and is great for hauling stuff around. I really enjoy this vehicle and would really recommend it. I went from a 2001 Honda Passport (AKA Isuzu Rodeo) and was very comfortable with my purchase.

In first 30 days drove over 4000 miles in rain, ice, sleet and snow. The vehicle performed beyond my expectations. Traction was great with total control. Only problem encountered was widnshield washer fluid freeze up with factory fluid at -30 degrees temperature. Engine performed great in mountains as well as on flatlands.
