1991 Dodge Spirit review from North America
"Good, cheap reliable car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Front passenger power window no longer works.
Power locks don't work properly.
Sometimes, while driving, there is a slight hitching. The car doesn't quit, it's just obnoxious, and mechanics seem puzzled as to what's causing it.
General comments?
This car has great pick-up, especially since it has over 360 000 kilometers on the original motor and transmission.
It's also great on gas, easy on oil, and parts are resonably priced.
The car is very roomy and reasonably comfy.
It has no problem turning over during the winter months (even in minus 25 degree Celsius weather!).
On the downside, the paint on the roof tends to peel a fair bit.
The engine is quite loud.
