1985 Chrysler Laser Turbo review from North America
"A sub-par choice"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing other than a few minor things. The car will do about 120, after that the shaking happens. The mirrors are flimsy hence why they flutter in the wind, and hubcaps tend to fly off randomly.
General comments?
I really hate this car. It just looks cool. In the rain it leaks, in the summer, the weather stripping looses its elasticity and falls off. Typically the engine runs OK, but after 20000 miles it kinda runs hot. The car has only set on fire 4 times this year.
