1986 Dodge Aries LE Woody Wagon review from North America
"One of the best cars I have ever owned"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Constant problem with idle control sensor.
Head gasket went at 212000 km.
General comments?
This was a great car. Comfortable, reliable, peppy.
Air conditioner still worked when I sold it.
Three speed automatic transmission was the original and had never been serviced.
After 14 years in south-western Ontario there was no sign of exterior rust. One small hole had appeared through the floor of the drivers side.
Car is still being used today (2002) as a delivery vehicle in London, Ontario.
