I rented a intermediate sized vehicle from Enterprise and this is what I got. Came in handy for moving items.
Firstly, I am not a fan of Fiat Chrysler. The old old Chrysler cars were good. Not today’s stuff imo. Chrysler is on a morphine drip at the moment.
Pluses: Good cargo space. The stow and go seats are handy. Flat floor for loading things.
Minuses: Drivetrain was noisy and a bit weak. The transmission made a wa-wa noise as it kept shifting up and down constantly looking for fuel efficiency. That was distracting. Fit and finish was average. The reverse camera came on about 15 seconds after the car moved in reverse and then stayed on as we moved forward. Loose parts in the interior. This was a rental so I will give FCA a break here. The vehicle drove okay. It didn’t fit me as the steering wheel was off center to my driving position. This would not be a car I would purchase.
Additional; Enterprise customer service was pretty good as we got the the car. In and out in short order. However, when we returned the vehicle, we were tagged with suspicious damage to the rear of the passenger front fender. This was the tail of the fender joining up with the bottom trim. It looked like it had popped and sprung inwards. No signs of anyone hitting the car. We were never in any kind of accident situation. It appeared to me like a clip had given away and separated the two pieces. I have heard that rental companies are getting very finicky on damages. The costs to consumers is skyrocketing and even my insurance agent mentioned this. It is another money making scheme for these companies. Not only are we liable for damages but also for loss of income for the vehicle which in this case is hogwash. More to come on this. My CC will cover the issue as they explained over the phone.
Final verdict, thumbs down. Fiat Chrysler is a brand I cannot recommend. That’s sad considering the older Mopar cars were quite reliable.
