Rented For Vacation - 2009 Chrysler Aspen
By bullrun - June 26 - 6:45 pmWent from Colorado to Texas and back. Smooth Ride. Avg MPG 21. Hwy 23, City 19. Front Seats a bit uncomfortable for 3k mile round trip. Seat configuraton was nice. Lots of room for luggage and people. Drove through wind and rain.. No Problems. Headlights were outstanding. Steering in wind was no problem with one hand. Hugs road very well. Nice acceleration. Brakes were on the money. A/C worked brilliantly in 105 degree Texas heat. Middle row seating could use 2 or 3 more inches for leg room. Driving visibility was excellent. Blind spots are minimal. Rear camera was a bit blurry, but sensors worked well.

Very Nice SUV - 2008 Chrysler Aspen
By Don - February 24 - 7:45 pmI am 6ft 7 300lb man with a wife and 4 chidren. I wanted a big vehicle that I could get in without breaking my neck and if I hit a bump not knock myself out. I test drove 5 other big SUVs. The only other SUV I could fit in was Ford Expedition and it was OK but it didnt do anything for me so I kept looking. My wife saw an Aspen at a dealership and asked if I would test drive it so I did and I purchased it the next day. I got the fully loaded limited. We love it. I dont have a heavy foot so when I drive I can get in the city 17mpg, on the hwy going 70 mph got 25 mpg. I think that is great for a big SUV. The Aspen is as good or better than SUVs that are a little higher in price.

Great truck for the money! - 2008 Chrysler Aspen
By cvh - February 18 - 2:03 pmWhen I first saw the Aspen, I had no idea what kind of truck it was. Chrysler does not advertise it, but am I glad I found it! We purchased a limited 5.7L Hemi and couldnt be happier with the performance. Compared to the Chevrolet trucks, you get a lot of nice extra features for the money! We love the heated leather seats, navigation system, rear DVD, Sirius radio, and roomy third row seats. Gas mileage not great, but we didnt expect it to be. The ride is smooth and quiet and the pick-up is outstanding. We previously owned a Chevrolet truck and I would never buy another one after finding the Aspen. Its a great buy!

Good but not great! - 2008 Chrysler Aspen
By Big Ski - January 2 - 11:16 pmLet me first say that I enjoy my car. Not sorry that I leased it. Im 12 months into a 36 month lease but I know that I wont buy once lease is over. I previously owned a Durango so the Aspen was a logical progression in staying with Chrysler. I love the luxury of the Aspen over the Durango (lots of cheap plastic in Durango) but the Aspen is not as nice to drive as the Durango. For some reason my Aspen feels sluggish at times. It also doesnt seen to handle as well as Durango. Aspens looks and standard equipment are great for the money. Ive gotten more for my lease dollar than I would have with Tahoe, Armada, etc. But Ill probably look at different SUVs once lease is over.

Not too shabby - 2008 Chrysler Aspen
By NewGuy - December 30 - 11:59 pmThis is a fantastic vehicle for families. It has tons of interior room, rides very smooth, has gobs of power with the Hemi engine, and the MyGig system coupled with navigation and DVD is exceptional. The voice commands in this vehicle are the easiest to use of any Ive seen (several).

2008 Aspen - 2008 Chrysler Aspen
By Adamsafe - December 9 - 3:58 pmReplaced a Tahoe with this. Solid vehicle, but its not a Tahoe. Transmission not as smooth as GM. Seat construct OK. Ride is nice, power is there, but lags due to transmission. Nice features, interior. Overall, good value for the price, especially in comparison to Tahoe.

Chrysler Aspen Limited Fully Loaded - 2008 Chrysler Aspen
By Matt - November 10 - 6:50 pmI leased my Aspen with every available option it could come with. It is a real head turner in the HD Silver Metallic paint and 20inch rims. It would be better if the rims were chrome (Plastic Caps) but hard to notice to the untrained eye. No complaints. Only one problem, and I see nobody else in the reviews taliking about it. Between 67mph and 74mph there is a whole body vibration which the dealer and Chrysler engineering cannot fix. They have replaced every moving part outside of the engine itself including all rims, tires, driveshafts, manifolds, axles, etcetcetc. Love the truck, but they admit it is a lemon law vehicle.

Functional, good value vehicle - 2008 Chrysler Aspen
By Aspen Owner - October 7 - 1:19 pmPurchased my Aspen in September 2008. So far it has been enjoyable to drive. The best thing about the Aspen is that it is a functional car. I have the second row bench seating (for childs seat). Also, the third row folding down and stowing is a nice option. Other similar size vehicles either dont have a third row or you have to physically remove the seats and store them somewhere else. I got the limited signature series(J pkg) with the 5.7 L Hemi. Gas mileage was to be expected about 14 - 15 mpg. The interior is great with MyGig, Navigation, DVD player and rear camera. To purchase the same vehicle from another manufacturer would probably have cost me $10K more. Good car overall.

Beautiful SUV, but options DO NOT WORK! - 2008 Chrysler Aspen
By Amy - September 7 - 11:22 pmThis vehicle is very fun to drive, however I have had mine in and out of the shop 30 days in the past 6 months due to electrical problems with the electronic options. The DVD player which has been replaced 3 different times is still not fixed, so I need take it back to the shop once again. I definitely think mine is a LEMON!

2 month old owner - 2008 Chrysler Aspen
By Keli - July 22 - 2:56 pmWe looked for almost a year before we decided on my Aspen, now Im wishing I waited for the hybrid. So far my Aspen has needed to go in to the shop more times then a new SUV should. MyGig has locked up with the UConnect so the phone nor any sound would work. My sunroof is leaking & yes I have the DVD player in the back just behind the leaking sunroof. There is this high pitch noise that comes from the AC/Heater when its on higher then 2 that drives me crazy due to ear trouble. RE:gas,not sure what to say because the dealer keeps saying just wait till you have over 3000 miles it will get better. This weekend it needed a jump to get start? Dont get me wrong I do love it just wonder if lemon?
