1990 Plymouth Laser review from North America
"Overall, a good car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The starter went bad around 100,000 miles.
Radio went bad at 85,000 miles.
General comments?
I really enjoyed the Plymouth Laser. Overall, it handled amazingly well, had decent gas mileage and was the most comfortable car I've ever owned.
It did lack power, but I don't expect much from a 1.9-liter engine. Besides, I bought the car for economy, not speed.
I'm over 6 feet tall, but this is the only car I've had that allowed me to stretch out my legs.
The car did have a few problems, with the major problem being oil leakage and burning. However, I attribute this to the fact it has been sitting for over one year (which is why I will not list these as defects of the car). However, it still ran well. The rear main seal went at 112,000 miles, but again, if it had it been taken care of, I think it would have lasted longer.
I picked it up my mother's friend for only $400, and I more than got my money's worth. I would recommend the car.
