1991 Dodge Colt review from North America
"Decent, basic, car. Got my $ worth"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Basically nothing for 90,000 miles! Then, the whole car pretty much fell apart (clutch worn, CV joints shot, air-fuel sensor bad, timing belt broke, fuel injectors stopped working, electrical problems, etc.).
General comments?
The car came with a 4-speed, which was silly as it really needed the highway gear, overdrive. BUT, mileage was fantastic. Never below 32, even if all city; usually around 42 with lots of highway and some around town thrown in.
Parts were often a problem to find, and injectors and sensors almost impossible to locate (even through the dealer!) and overpriced. A decent car though, compared to most of what is out there.
