1989 Chrysler LeBaron Convertible review from North America
"Stylish, but costly to maintain"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Head gasket blew.
I had to replace the engine.
Piston rod broke on second engine.
Replaced timing belt.
Cable to the rear left window snapped.
General comments?
The fact that it was a convertible made the car. That's about the only thing I really liked about it.
The back seat is cramped.
It handled well in the snow.
Not really a lot of trunk space.
Extremely fun to cruise around in.
