1983 AMC Eagle DL Sedan review from North America
"Better than a cheap foreign Subaru"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The exterior drivers door handle broke and I had to crawl through.
The drivers armrest fell off.
There was a lot of static on the radio when you hit a bump.
The panels under the windshield & rear window began to rust, as well as under the edges of the vinyl roof.
The carpet faded.
General comments?
It was my first car, since I began driving at age 30.
I loved this car, and it was an excellent car.
I only got rid of it because I needed something newer to take on long trips.
