1994 Dodge Colt review from North America
"Fun, reliable project car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
No problems encountered with this car.
Very well built.
General comments?
This is a great little car. Good on gas, low maintenance requirements. This car is a real pleasure to drive.
I tuned my Colt. Had a hard time doing this as there are no performance parts available for this car. It responded well to the upgrades.
I reccommend upgrading the stereo system. The factory stereo leaves a little to be desired.
The stock wheels are quite narrow, I recommend replacing the 155 stock with 185 or larger. This improves the handling of the car quite dramatically.
The engine is strong for it's size, and very reliable. Mine responded well to a performance rebuild. I just dyno'd at 186 horsepower.
