1979 Dodge Dart SE review from Mexico
"Priceless comfort"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The timing of the engine (which is a 360) is difficult to time.
Some rattle in the interior (dashboard and seats)
Extremely high fuel consumption (you can have a picture: it is pretty much the same engine used by the higher version of the Durango)
General comments?
One reliable car, even though its age it stills run better than some newer models.
It is one great experience driving it: comfortable, big enough for 6 passsngers and above all, you fill that you are protected by an old-fashion metal sheet (not like those of new cars, of thin metal or even fiberglass).
