1985 Chrysler Fifth Avenue review from North America
"Powerful luxury cruiser"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Headlights started to go bad. Easily replaced.
Ceiling cloth tore at various points and had to be cut, leaving big holes.
Sunroof leaked.
Various leaks around the engine block due to worn gaskets.
Paint isn't so great anymore.
Trunk only opens with the automatic switch.
General comments?
These problems aside, this car is a great luxury cruiser.
The leather seats are very comfortable and supportive.
The interior is very roomy comfortably sitting five people. A/C works well too.
The dashboard is great and all the controls are easily accessible. Everything is automatic
This V8 has really good power and pickup considering how heavy this car is. It features rear wheel traction which makes it fun to drive. Spinning the tires around curves is a breeze. The handling is also fun. This car can take corners very fast.
This car is very tough and at the same time luxurious; when my friends ride in the car they always have good comments and enjoy the ride.
It is very good on the highway, the smoothest car I've had the pleasure of driving. The speedometer says 85 is the max speed, but I'm sure I've taken it to 95 if not 100 mph.
Considering this car is one year younger than me, it is still driving like a champ.
