Traction

What is traction? Traction allows the transfer of engine power into forward motion. Between the part-time Command-Trac tube or the full-time Selec-Trac systems, the Jeep Liberty gives the driver maximum traction in most any condition. One of the other features of the Jeep Liberty is the brake lock differential which uses the brake pressure to redistribute torque when it is needed.

One of the most prominent features of the 2012 Dodge Journey is the 8.4 inch Uconnect touchscreen media hub.

In 2011, Chrysler published a video of the results of comparison tests that they performed with the Chrysler Town & Country against the Toyota Sienna LE V6. While both would commonly be considered to be comparable minivans, the outcomes proved to distinguish them as very different. Take a look:

Handling

This was one of the most obvious differences as the handling of the Sienna was not as adequate as the Town & Country. The suspension in the Sienna is soft which makes the van feel uncomfortable in any handling situations.

The Town & Country had superior handling qualities, especially in situations like emergency handling.

The Town & Country ABS worked well with adequate pedal feedback and feel while having short stopping distances with minimal brake time.

Acceleration

Although the Sienna felt powerful at the acceleration, the Town & Country’s [...]

When the Dodge experts sat down and designed the 2011 DodgeDurango, they were designing it as if they would be driving it themselves. They wanted it to be a car that they would want to drive.

chrysler 200 dealership daytonLast year, Chrysler conducted a comparison study on the Chrysler 200 Limited versus the Toyota Camry SE. Who do you think emerged as the “winner”? Well, here are some key points from what Vehicle Evaluation Specialist, Paul Gerrard had to say:

Acceleration
  • Thanks to the 283P Pentastar V6 engine, the Chrysler 200 is able to keep the weight evenly distributed upon acceleration
  • The Toyota Camry gets a lot of wheel spin which is due to the weight shifted off the front tires toward the back of the vehicle
Lane Change and Maneuverability

Successful evasive maneuvering: Chrysler 200 displayed poise and performance
Toyota Camry has a lot of body shifting and a fair amount of understeer, which requires immediate attention from the stability control system, which in turn basically shuts the car down

Negotiation of money can be an uncomfortable situation for anyone, regardless if it is for a house, a job salary, or a car. You don’t want to be judged for throwing out a low price but you don’t want to suggest a high dollar figure in fear of getting ripped off. Buying a new or used car is an investment and can be intimidating in itself. On top of that, car salesmen often have the stigma of being pushy. So what are some things you can keep in mind when negotiating with a car dealership?

  1. First, let’s debunk some myths. Not all car salesmen are pushy. Not all car salesmen are dishonest. And not all car salesmen dislike working with people.

The association of car salesmen with the word “pushy” [...]

Many questions have been floating around about what certain indicators and symbols on the dashboard mean in the 2012 Chrysler 2012, specifically about the Tire Pressure Monitoring System, Change Oil Message, and Gas Cap Message.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System

One of the things that make the 2012 Chrysler 200 unique is the Tire Pressure Monitoring System. TPMS is an electronic system that is designed to measure the pressure inside the four road tires and alert the driver when the pressure is getting low. But what do you do when the indicator light comes on?

The TPMS light is located in the instrument cluster. It will turn on and a chime will sound if the pressure is low in one or more of the tires. Once the light is illuminated, one or more of your tires is underinflated and should be inflated to meet the recommended standards of the tire manufacturer. This information is located on [...]
