1985 Chrysler Laser Turbo from North America - Comments

Nothing other than a few minor things. The car will do about 120, after that the shaking happens. The mirrors are flimsy hence why they flutter in the wind, and hubcaps tend to fly off randomly.

I really hate this car. It just looks cool. In the rain it leaks, in the summer, the weather stripping looses its elasticity and falls off. Typically the engine runs OK, but after 20000 miles it kinda runs hot. The car has only set on fire 4 times this year.

Seems Inadequate.

You obviously haven't been treating your car very well because Lasers have been known to go at LEAST 140 mph stock.

Furthermore, hubcaps are typically not standard on a Laser, so if they are falling off, you might not have put them on right. Now, about the fires, they are probably being caused by a couple of crossed wires. Trust me,I am the proud owner of a 1986 Laser XT Turbo. The only problem I have had with it so far is a blown head gasket, wich is typical for early turbos. Also, the 2.2L/2.5L engines used in the Laser and the Daytona are regarded by some as two of the most reliable I-4 engines ever made. So, as I said before, if your car is doing THAT bad, you obviously need to take better care of your car.

The Chrysler laser is the most reliable car I have ever owned. I Have Put About 10,000.00 Into my Laser and I couldnt Be Happier. If yiu are having so many problems with yours mabe you should stop by the local performance shop and see what they can do to it. Mine will do 165 before nitrous boost is engaged. So I guess your car is as good as your wallet.

I'm another proud owner of a 1985 Laser Turbo. It is one of the most reliable cars I have ever owned, and it isn't slow for a 2.2L motor! But, last year I was going over some speed bumps and as it seems, Chrysler isn't one of the most reliable to make motor mounts! The motor fell to the ground after one speed bump, one motor mount still in place and one broke. The motor was still running strong after it hit the ground! Now it sits running in my backyard. Yet, I do not get it fixed because I do not have the money nor time, I start it everyday to halt the process of the motor seizing up. I would recommend this car to anyone, it is reliable, just get the motor mounts replaced.
