In reply to the discussion: If you have a car, how old is it? [View all]True Dough
(26,726 posts)16. 2017 Jeep Cherokee
Although Chrysler products don't have the best long-term reliability ratings, I am a fan of how they drive and the layout of the interior/dashboard.
I had a 2012 Dodge Charger R/T and LOVED it, and only a few issues (brake rotors went just after the warranty expired because they were obviously cheap).
So my wife and I purchased the Cherokee with some hesitation because we figured we got lucky with the Charger. But we've been lucky again because the Jeep has almost 90,000 miles on it and has only required routine maintenance. It's a good size and transports our two large dogs when we need or our aging parents when we need, but it's not huge.
Our next vehicle might just be another Chrysler (or Fiat Chrysler, as they are now).

My first car was a Ford. It was nice but I got a Toyota and never looked back.
