1985 Dodge Aries 4door from Finland - Comments

"Cheap commuter vehicle, American lada"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Front shock absorbers worn out, normal wear, but they are Mcpherson type so pretty expensive to change.

Electronic carburetor system is really complicated, prefer -87 or newer with fuel injection. I had to replace it with older type (1981-83).

Car is like a bulky toyota with lower quality.

Sort of funny, small "big" car

Power brake booster failed.

General comments?

I did not like the front wheel drive and jumpy ride, that's why sold it.

Nowadays parts are quite hard to get, see also allpar.com.

After all its not so economical with automatic transmission despite its low weight and small size.

The Dodge Aries was one of the fastest, most fuel efficient family vehicles available in the 1980's...Its God's gift to Drivers! It also saved Chrysler from bankruptcy. For more info call me
