1984 Dodge Aries Custom Wagon review from North America
"A high performance bargain"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Tie rod ends needed replaced at 150,000.
#1 piston cracked ring lands, my fault.
General comments?
What can I say, A 2100 pound wagon with a 2.5 turbo motor and an intercooler.
Great car for street racing.
I have beat all kinds of LT1 Camaros, 5.0 Mustangs and riced out imports with this thing.
People laugh at you at first until you blow the doors off their car that cost ten times as much.
Downside is the lack of an interior and heater.
