1986 Plymouth Horizon review from North America
"Worth driving until the wheels fall off"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
All outside door knobs are messed-up one way or the other, but 2 out of 4 work sort of.
Had to replace the radiator.
Hatch back pistons don't hold hatch back up.
Emergency brake doesn't work, light does though for what that's worth.
Mechanic says the a clutch adjustment cable? needs to be replaced. Sometimes real hard to change gears. Sometimes wants to keep going with clutch in.
Speedometer doesn't work.
Rusted real bad in some of the wierdest places. Both windshield posts, inside the bottom of hatch back door.
General comments?
Always starts, and easily too.
No problem keeping up with any and all highway traffic.
Zippy!
Great winter car for the likes of South Dakota.
Parts are pretty easy to find because of the people that give up on the little runners for some reason.
Seats are super comfy.
