ACCELERATION
| Base | Class Average |
|---|---|
| 7 | 7.4 |
Chrysler says Prowler does 0-60 mph in about 6 seconds. That seems slightly optimistic, although we didn't have a chance to time the '99 we tested.
FUEL ECONOMY
| Base | Class Average |
|---|---|
| 6 | 4.7 |
Averaged 22.1 mpg in tests of a '99. Premium fuel is required.
RIDE QUALITY
| Base | Class Average |
|---|---|
| 2 | 3.4 |
Stiff ride is jolting on larger bumps. Marked body shake doesn't help.
STEERING/HANDLING/BRAKING
| Base | Class Average |
|---|---|
| 7 | 7.6 |
Body lean is almost nil, grip is tenacious--at least on dry roads--and the steering is accurate and not too heavy.
QUIETNESS
| Base | Class Average |
|---|---|
| 2 | 3.6 |
Prominent wind and tire noise. Hearty, rumbling exhaust.
CONTROLS
| Base | Class Average |
|---|---|
| 3 | 5.1 |
More hot-rod stylish than functional, but most switches are standard easy-to-use Chrysler items.
ROOM/COMFORT/DRIVER SEATING (FRONT)
| Base | Class Average |
|---|---|
| 4 | 4.7 |
Small footwells, "bathtub" seating position, and narrow doorways make a tight cabin, with tricky entry/exit.
CARGO ROOM
| Base | Class Average |
|---|---|
| 1 | 2.2 |
Barely room for a soft briefcase between the trunklid and rear underbody. A matching trailer is available--and necessary for extended trips.
VALUE WITHIN CLASS
| Base | Class Average |
|---|---|
| 2 | 2.5 |
Any negatives are of little consequence to Prowler owners. This is a sunny-day toy, a lifestyle statement, and buyers snap them up as fast as they can be built.
