Economy
Value
Why can't Peugeot, Citroen, Ford and Vauxhall put as much spec on their base models as Chrysler have put on this dream machine. Excellent spec and great value only not many people have realised yet.
Costs
In my year of ownership I only paid for road tax and insurance when bought the car, plus petrol for a year and a new tyre.

On the road
Driving
Great handling and smooth and comfortable ride with minimum noise.
Performance
Very fast for a family saloon when you need to overtake people plus great fuel economy and a fuel gauge needle that never seems to move from the full tank indication.

Living with it
Reliability
Never had any reliability problems and it had 66,000 miles on the clock when i bought it.
Image
I like the car as it is distinctive with the round headlamps and cool frame-less sports car style doors also it is unusual and rare unlike cars such as Astra, Focus, 306 and Megane.
Comfort
Comfortable velour interior and centre arm rest and some excellent gizmos uinque to this car plus i had one of the rarer models with an electric sunroof.

Security and Service
Security
Very safe with remote locking, alarm, immobiliser and unique security features which will confuse thieves.
Service
I didn't buy from a Chrysler Jeep main dealer. Bought from Arnold Clark Proton franchise and ex-fleet centre in Glasgow and they were very helpful and pleasant.
