1983 Plymouth Reliant review from North America
"Good school car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Regular things like timing belt, brakes, electrical system. Nothing major that doesn't need to be fixed with regular stuff.
Cruise control quit.
Vinyl seats split... Oh well.
Rust has taken over, but that's because it was a government car.
Power steering stopped working and the power brakes leak.
General comments?
Good on gas with the 4 speed manual.
Good heating and air.
Lots of space.
Seats nine... not legally, but you know.
