1989 Dodge Aries LE review from North America
"NICE bargain"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Computer of the car was burned, but it still ran. Gas mileage wasn't so good.
General comments?
I loved the 5-speed, (rare) it had some power, and anyone that says that they are death traps is wrong; they are like tanks. I crashed my car into a rock face head-on after hitting a large rock on the road (which damaged the oil pan). There were 4 of us in there, but nobody was hurt. If it wasn't for the flat tire, I could have driven it home, so I'm fixing a new Aries now.
