1984 Dodge Colt GTS Turbo review from North America

When I purchased this car, the engine had recently been rebuilt.

The turbo was in need of rebuilding. After disassembly of the exhaust system; I sent the turbo to Majestic Turbo.

The Fuel Injectors were leaking under pressure. I replaced the leaky injectors with Mitsubishi Starion Injectors.

The "Turbo" Seats in the front have started to deteriorate.

The Dash Pad has been cracked since I purchased the car.

The Defroster/Vent Slide Selector is non functional.

This is the first year that Dodge made a turbocharged Colt. The Dodge engineers were cautious about the amount of power to place in such a tiny car, however still made this an impressive performer. I had modifications done to the turbo, which bypassed the engineer's wishes. Currently the cars acceleration is quite impressive, sprinting from 0-60 in just under 6 seconds. This is the same grade of performance as a Dodge Neon SRT4.

The handling of this car is a little hit and miss; it handles well for a 1980's era car, but can get squirrelly at highway speeds.

The Interior Quality is not horrible, but many times worse than a 1980's Hyundai.

The body is starting to generate rust bubbles on the door, front and rear wheel wells, and on the hatchback near the rear wiper.

I have never had an alignment; the car still doesn't need one.
