1988 Chrysler New Yorker Fifth Avenue review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rattle pin on the rear brakes, small problems with older cars.
Slight spark knock in the engine, due to carbon build-up
General comments?
Great car, in 2 years I put a load of kilometers on it due to a fairly regular 400km commute 4 times a week last year.
Runs like a clock and cruises good on the highway. Quick enough for my tastes, once you're over 60km/h, this is due to A LOT of carbon built up in the engine.
On a side note you can scare the hell out of people coming out of bars at night (inside joke).
