Faults:

Nothing major so far.

The only thing I have had to replace is a broken shift cable for the automatic shifter.

General Comments:

I brought this car because it was small and seemed like it would be a good run around car. So far it has performed well without any major problems, knock on wood! The only draw back is with the car being carburated, so you get some serious lack on acceleration during the initial take off. Once you get moving past 35 miles per hour the car is actually pretty peppy for only having a 68HP engine in it, but the gas mileage is not all that I expected, but I also blame this on the carburetor too. The engine mounts appear to be worn so the car vibrates until it is warmed up, but I can live with that. The interior and exterior was taken very good care of and is in great condition and the car rides pretty well for such a small compact car. The only draw back is it does not handle bumpy roads well.

Overall for $950.00 the car appears to be a good deal, but I am currently looking to sell it to buy something with more room. This car is a excellent car for a student or someone who is looking for a compact car.

Everything imaginable went wrong with this car. The day after we left the dealership it died. Turned out to be the starter. On the way home from the service dept. it died again. That time it was the carburetor. This car spent more time on tow trucks than it did in our driveway.

All said in the 4 years we owned it we had to repair:

3 carburetors.

8 brake jobs including rotors, pistons, drums. It never needed just pads. It was a total rebuild every 6 months!

2 starters.

3 or 4 fuel pumps.

2 valve covers.

New tires every 12000 miles.

Distributor system, not just the cap, but the entire workings.

Windows all leaked, including windshield as well as doors and hatch.

Countless hoses, belts, & wires.

The engine blew at 87000 miles, and we danced for joy right there alongside the expressway where it took it's own life.

As for integrity, every part imaginable hardware part broke inside the car. This included:

Gear shift.

Sun visors.

Seat belt locks.

Door handles.

Seat release.

Speakers.

Locks.

General Comments:

If you look in the dictionary under "lemon" you see this cars picture.

I honestly cannot think of a worst car or experience I have ever had.

It was small, uncomfortable, and notoriously broke down whenever we would need it the most.

It always stalled on left hand turns, or whenever you'd push down the gas pedal at a traffic light or stop sign.

I felt guilty for donating the carcass to charity.

Faults:

New clutch at 125,000 miles.

Totaled in a crash shortly after.

General Comments:

This car did everything well! Comfortable, great handling, cheap to run; BUT the body's a bit flimsy; someone hit me head on in a Caravan at less than 20 MPH (on 5" of snow) and the Colt was totaled; the Caravan was barely dented.

I might still be driving it otherwise. Then again, that thin metal might have rusted.

Note; this car was made by Mitsubishi, not Chrysler.

Faults:

My head gasket failed at 35,000 miles.

General Comments:

This car handles extremely well. It can turn on a dime.

But no one who is 6ft or above can sit in the rear seats.

Faults:

1. Premature failure of valve seals at approximately 75,000 km.

2. Bearing seal failure created a serious oil leak.

General Comments:

1. Noisy heater fan.

2. High large windows make for a hot car in the summer....should have air-conditioning.

3. Very large trunk for a sub-compact!
