1976 AMC Pacer D/L review from North America
"A collector's car for eccentrics"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rubber parts (for example motor mounts) needed replacing after a while.
Rack and pinion steering leaked and was replaced.
Exhaust manifold leaks are the biggest problem with a generally reliable and interesting car.
General comments?
One of the most unique cars ever produced. Extremely roomy and comfortable to drive.
With the curved glass in back, it's great for parallel parking in crowded cities.
