1987 Plymouth Horizon America review from North America
"Reliable, comfortable and cheap to run"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I had to have the carburetor at 165,000 miles. The driver's side door handle had to be replaced due to extreme weather conditions. Other than that, routine maintenance and repairs consistent with mileage have taken care of everything.
General comments?
I drove this car for 10 years before turning it over to my son. With well over 100000 miles on it, I drove from the mid-Atlantic region to Washington state and back again. The only problems encountered during either trip were the carburetor-rebuild and a few radiator hoses that should have been replaced before I left.
The car has never failed to get me where I want to go and back again, it's comfortable and I consider that I've gotten back the $1500 I paid for it at least three times over.
