I would never buy an FCA product. Ever.

 

I keep mine around 1-3 years, then normally sell for profit or even money, and repeat.

 

I won't either, anymore. My last one was the straw that broke the camel's back. And I used to work for them.

 

I owned a 1989 Dodge minivan and still drive my 2000 Dodge minivan. For the past ~27 years, they have been the most useful and reliable cars I have ever owned. I can carry 10 foot long lumber in my 2000. I have even carried eight sheets of 3/4" plywood in it with the hatch closed. In ten years I hope I love my Fit as much as I love my two minivans.

 

1994 Jeep wrangler - 239000
1995 BMW 318ti - 255000
2006 BMW 330xi - 150000
2007 Honda fit - 123000

Dont know when they will head down the road the 318 may be on the block.. we shall see..

 

My problems with them have been the electronics. Very unreliable in all the ones I have had in the past 20 years. Stratus, Durango, 3 Wranglers and PT Cruiser

 

89 CRX ---> 2000 Civic ---> 2013 Fit Sport. We'll keep until body corrosion or 200K
The 2000 Civic was private sale to friend, still going strong.
Other DD - 2008 Chevy Malibu LTZ V6 - 140K miles - still going strong. I'll keep this car until it hits 300K.

2005 Mustang GT Premium Convertible (with lots of mods) - Safely tucked in garage, under cover and has 50K miles on it. Will keep until the mods eat my wallet or they take my license away, or both. :-)
