1985 Chrysler New Yorker review from North America

Required new head due to dropped valve.

Blown head gasket at 75,000.

Leak in transmission axle seal at 50,000.

Oxygen sensor failure after 15 years.

Will have to replace Catalytic converter to pass smog in 2003.

Had to replace radiator at 65,000.

Landau/headliner replacement at 90,000.

Stalled in April 1999 and again in November 2002 - probably ignition intermittent, but no one can find it.

You can drive this car as long as you can stay awake - comfort incredible.

Turbo takes some getting used to - delay to engage/disengage has to be compensated for, but you still get 60 in 10.4 seconds.

Will run away downhill due to small engine - requires braking to stay under 70mph.

Tires last forever, but will cup to the point you cannot stand the noise.

Turbo is more impressive from 60 - 80 than from 0 - 60; great for passing double semis.

Style is timeless - People still want to know what it is after 17 years.

Never burned/leaked a drop of oil - you can eat your lunch on the valve cover.

Runs good on 87, better on 89, best on 91.
