  I love My Aspen - 2008 Chrysler Aspen
  By Mrs.Thais - February 7 - 9:10 pm

  I traded in my 06 Pathfinder for my Aspen and I have to say that I love my car. When I drive it just glides along the road and parking has always been a challange for me and now with my back up camera its a cinch! The Aspen is roomy and luxury to max for the money . As for the gas mileage its great. If youre going to complain about gas then a SUV isnt for you. Not only is it a fun car with the ability to just plug in your I- pod or download some personal pictures but its a classy car and I agree that this is one of Chryslers best kept secret.

  Great Full Size SUV for the Money - 2008 Chrysler Aspen
  By Soccer Mom - January 29 - 3:15 pm

  Bought my 08 this month. There were only 2 left on the lot and this one had all the extras. Love it. Love it. Love it. Best SUV for the money and I havent found a flaw yet - other than the gas mileage, but I knew how bad that was going in and was willing to make the sacrifice. It wasnt any better than the compact 05 SUV I was driving, but it was certainly better than some of the other full size models I was shopping for.

  Way better than Tahoe, or Expedition - 2008 Chrysler Aspen
  By tnvol - January 21 - 10:01 am

  Got the 2008, with the hemi variable engine displacement engine. Extremely smooth ride, excellent handling on highway and in city driving. Not burdened with a lot of useless luxury items, but is loaded with very functional and fun stuff. Carried 4 adults and 2 kids very comfortably. Gas mileage is what you would expect for a vehicle of this type. Love it and would recommend it highly.

  Great family buy! - 2007 Chrysler Aspen
  By skii - January 18 - 5:40 am

  This started out as a vehicle for the wife and kids, but I find myself behind the wheel more & more. Great look, feel, and handling for the price! Even the base model demands respect!

  You wont be disappointed - 2008 Chrysler Aspen
  By shemadeitinaz - January 13 - 3:35 pm

  Chrysler wont let you down with this one either. I have been out looking at SUVs for over six months and overall with interior and exterior features along with the Hemi under the hood I couldnt pass this one up for the what you get for your money. I am not trying so seet 7 adults so the kids have plenty of room and are easily distracted by the DVD system anyway. Definilety go with the 28J package there just isnt anything left on the wish list that isnt covered.

  After one year its still a lot of fun - 2007 Chrysler Aspen
  By Lorne - January 12 - 3:00 pm

  Wow, I am still having fun driving this beast after one year. I own a 5.7 hemi limited all equipped except for the NAV. I believed that all reviews are pretty accurate. However, I will comment on Canadian winter driving with lot of snows, freezing rains, icy conditions the driving is OK with the 20 tires but would strongly recommend winter tires but hard to find. This is my 1st year with winter tires and nothing can stop me. The 4 wheel drives is extremely precise and can not feel anything when all wheels are slipping. My wife, kids and I feel extremely safe in the vehicle.

  8 years, 85k miles, 0 problems - 2008 Chrysler Aspen
  By Greg - January 9 - 3:01 am

  After eight years and 85k miles, Ive not had a single problem with my Aspen. It has not a squeak or rattle, and the engine still runs without a trace of vibration. The interior still cleans up like new after detailing even after eight years of kid/dog abuse. Our dog goes on the leather seats a lot and her nails havent so much as scratched the leather. My factory brake pads lasted past 60k miles. The 5.7 Hemi doesnt exactly sip fuel, but it sure does tow when needed. Other than seeing the trailer in the rear view mirror, I can hardly tell Im towing at all. Off road handling has been good on mountain dirt roads and beach sands. Other than scheduled maintenance and battery changes, Ive not had to shell out a dimes worth of maintenance for the Aspen. AC is still as strong as ever; no seals, gaskets, belts or hoses have needed replacing; no degradation from wear and tear yet other than cosmetic items. As the original owner with a lifetime power train warranty, I dont see much incentive to replace the Aspen any time soon.

  Nice Truck - 2008 Chrysler Aspen
  By bak - January 6 - 10:17 pm

  I have been a big fan of Edmunds for a long time- but I have to disagree here. I have a 2005 Durango and recently purchased a 08 Aspen (because we enjoy the Durango so much). While I agree that the trucks look very similar there is a huge difference inside the two vehicles. Even though they are similarly equipped, it is obvious that they went to great lengths to differentiate the two vehicles. The gas mileage is worse even with the same engine (hopefully because its new).

  Well kept secret - 2008 Chrysler Aspen
  By jmcolosimo - December 26 - 3:34 pm

  Chrysler doesnt advertise this vehicle as it should. This is a fine, quality SUV especially if you buy it with the 28j package. With this package, the Aspen is far and away the best bargain...when compared with Toyota, Ford, or the GMC products of like kind. This vehicle is way beyond the Durango. Its quality is as good, if not better, than the aforementioned SUVs, but about 8-10k less.

  Impressive - 2008 Chrysler Aspen
  By MOPAR1 - December 7 - 6:15 pm

  This is the only SUV I have ever owned that gets better and better each and every time I drive it. The HEMI engine has power to spare. Consider the 20" wheel group as it seems to have a much smoother ride and suspension. Luxurious, sharp & very inexpensive to lease for a 45K vehicle.
