Logan Moore 2024-11-12
The car is wonderful. I didn't know a lot about Chryslers, but once I was in, it was a pleasant ride. I've had my car for 2 days and I want everyone to know that this is a wonderful car. My kids are in heaven. We have to drive 150 miles round trip to practice and they are not complaining!! Thanks for making such a wonderful car.
Aurelio Zboncak 2024-11-11
The design of the Concord was far ahead of other cars. It gave you a sporty look in a sedan. The 2.7 engine gave you 30+ miles to the gallon with comfort.
Verner Pfeffer 2024-11-10
I was searching for a replacement for my 1997 Olds Aurora, which I adored, but it was accumulating too many miles. I was a bit hesitant about the 6 cyl engine compared to the V-8 of the Olds, but it turned out to be NO problem. I believe it handles better as well. Apart from that, it has almost all the same features. I'm really pleased with my decision.
Hunter Gulgowski 2024-11-01
We're so glad we traded in our 1999 Lincoln Continental! The new car has so many more features and better performance for our money. Plus, the ergonomics are far superior. Adjusting the driver seat memory is now so much easier and faster, and it stays adjusted. The V-6 engine is much peppier than the previous V-8, and the car corners flatter. Overall, we're really happy with our purchase!

I drive 100 miles round trip to work and back and this car has been a savior. It's great to drive and ride in, and the trunk space is perfect for long weekend trips with the family. It's a fantastic family car with a sporty edge!
