1996 Plymouth Breeze review from North America
"If I had money I would buy something better"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The front axle fell apart recently with incredible speed. One day it started making just a little bit of noise going over bumps - 2 days and 20 miles later it literally broke in half.
The oil light comes on intermitently at tight turns.
The thing that the S belt is around is vibrating like crazy.
The transmission fluid is leaking.
The passenger side window works whenever it wants too.
The headlights are yellow and dim.
The car absolutely does not want to go over 90 mph.
This is also the worst accelerating car I have ever driven, and I drove cars that have 1.3 liter engines.
Had to change brake rotors twice in one year.
The radio buttons have a new personality every day - I am not joking the buttons randomly swap functions.
The gas mileage is crappy for such a small car I barely get 20 mile per gallon in the city and 30 on the highway at 75 mph.
The power steering is a misnomer.
Automatic transmission is ridicoulosly slow and revs high and basically does whatever the heck it wants.
