1988 Dodge Colt DL review from North America
"A great little city commuter"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
An oil pump went early, and the seat belt had a recall, in which the dealer installed a buckle that was a "close" match, I think the prescription for his eye glasses was also "close" if you hear me.
General comments?
An awesome little car.
Engine by Mitsubishi, keeps on going, the one constant that always picked up my buddies when their lemons broke down.
Kind of a bumpy ride, but you can't ask for everything when getting 420km to a tank on a 2 barrel carbed car.
New paint and rims and she keeps on going. Just make sure to feed her the expendibles when she wants. Eg: oil, plugs, filters, caps, rotors, and she will treat you well.
