Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Branches Southwest I drove a CRD today

Ut was the limited ed...pretty cool actually.

Told ya

There is tuning, CAI and a good cat-back that will unleash a lot more power and bump the MPG up too. They're pretty sweet 4popper turbo diesels IMO.

i drove the limited...the int was pretty nice

well I may be closer to getting one than I planned...the suby got vandalized today!!! It's not that bad, but I don't even want to mess with a body shop so I might try and sell it damaged.

pics?

Bummer about the Suby, Taylor.

I thought the concept of the CRD was good, but on paper that thing is pretty unimpressive. Slow (diesel, I know), not as much power as I'd expect, and cruddy reliability. Who knows, a few upgrades like Daymon suggested and it'd be a hoot!

what? I haven't heard problems with them...they have about as much torque as most smaller v-8 SUV's and 160 hp...although the tq is mostly what you feel, and they don't feel slow. All I have heard is that they are very reliable.

I think it was JD power or Consumer Reports that said their reliablity was poor. I could be wrong, though.

Well I was checking JD power...but on those sites...sometimes they only review one option package etc...the liberty can have 3 different engines in it!
