2009 Chrysler Aspen User Reviews

Pros

Hemi engine w/Mulit-displacement (for higher MPG), comfortable ride, plenty of cargo (kid) room

Cons

would prefer a larger hard drive than the 20G already installed for multimedia purposes

We have had the SUV for a month and really like it. Love the power in the engine and the 20" Chrome wheels that are standard with the "J" package. On the road, our MDS Hemi gets up to 22MPG at 55-65 MPH, and around 19MPG at 65-75 MPH. The average around town is 15-16MPG. The inside is well-appointed with leather everywhere complemented with wood trim. The navigation system with sat radio is good to have on long drives while the rear DVD keeps the kids happy. There is plenty of room for storage, especially when the third seat is folded away. The remote start feature along with the remote tailgate is convenient in the summer months when you are loading kids, beach gear or groceries. This SUV is loaded with extras that you would find on SUV's that are $20K more expensive. The dealers are also giving deep discounts on the naturally aspirated Hemi, as the hybrid options are in more demand. Overall, great SUV, looks great and fun to drive. I would go with the MDS Hemi as the Flexfuel MPG is pretty low as are it's horsepower and torque. We test drove Escalade, MDX and Yukon, and Aspen won hands down.
