Anyone! Looking at the V8s.
Are they comfortable (Passengers)
Are they pigs to park!
Do they handle well!
Its this or a V8 5 Series, just not sure on the "Chrysler" brand of today.

TIA

seen as a bit 'try-hard' by many, starting to be seen at the better houses in Mangere & Otara.

Definitely a large shouty, sweary "hear I am" vehicle. but is it any good!

Its based on the rear-wheel drive Chrysler LX platform with somecomponents derived from the W211 Mercedes-Benz E-Class. The SRT-8 is the performance model. It wont handle as well as a similar spec Commodore or Falcon but still worthy of a look.

None dare say Nesian Pimp Mobile (like the lowered blacked out Ford Explorer etc).

open road cruiser is very comfy, they are definately big & if it's got a Hemi then theres no limit to the amount of go fast parts avail.

Have had one since new in April 2003, diesel. Very economical, comfortable and smooth to drive. Heated seats are a bonus. Have had no problems at all. Two friends in Australia were so impressed they have also purchased.

I am getting the picture that most feel its not an executives vehicle.hmmm

Thanks Steve, Cuda and Fiat, its certainly about comfort an driveabliltiy, I do a lot of Kms, and am a big fella. Nothing worse than driving to Taupo, or Wellington for a big meeting looking worn out.

Tacky sums the whole car up really , Americans still don't quite do tasteful.

Apparently the suspension is 'soft' and gets damaged easily by potholes, bumps etc when going over them too fast.
