Braking is well below average and feels mushy (I've been told that this is normal but I have my doubts). The headlights and bulbs are very difficult to replace. The battery is hidden in the right front wheel well and is very difficult to access. The 2.7L engines are known for having sludge build-up problems so be sure to replace the engine oil every 3000-5000 miles. (I did have to replace a transmission sensor in my previously owned 1999 Chrysler Concorde because of accelerating before coming to a complete stop). Consequently I make sure to accelerate very slowly in this situation. The transmission will buck a bit if you slow down for a red light, but then accelerate if the light turns green before you come to a complete stop. It is very difficult to judge where the front and back of the car are when parallel parking. Limited visibility which make parallel parking very difficult. Cons: Limited interior head room for a tall person (I'm 6'-2' tall and must slouch down to see properly). Most noise coming from the road, with some wind noise and a slight amount of engine noise. Overall the noise in the cabin is probably about average. I am hoping that a new set of Michelin Defender tires will lower the road noise on concrete roads. With good tires (I currently have Michelin Primacy P225/60R16) the car is fairly quiet and very smooth on a blacktop highway, but is quite noisy on concrete highways and concrete bridge overpasses. The 2.7L engine provides plenty of power on the highway but is somewhat under powered for city driving. Very reliable.I've never had a breakdown of any kind.save for a bad battery and the need to replace a transmission sensor on a previously owned 1999 Concorde. Beautiful, sleek exterior styling, and the interior leather seats, console, instrument panel, and dashboard are very attractive. Plenty of interior room, especially in the back seat. Pros: Excellent handling, excellent highway gas mileage for a large car (I average 27-28 MPG traveling monthly from Baltimore to Scranton, Pennsylvania, and 30-31 MPG on my return trip. I purchased this car in 2013 when it had 75,000 miles on it. I own a 2000 Chrysler Concorde, 2.7L engine, gold exterior, beautiful black leather interior, center console, bucket seats, 150,000 miles on the odometer.
