1991 Dodge Colt review from North America
"Belonged in the junk-yard, even before I purchased it a year ago"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Where to begin... This car sucked!!
The transmission literally self-destructed on me, gear by gear, as the throw out bearing shot in and out of my gears repeatedly, destroying them.
The CV joints have been replaced once already, and they should probably have been replaced again before I got rid of it.
The alternator belt has been squealing and whining in cold weather.
The frame of the car is falling apart, it flaps in the wind like old laundry.
General comments?
The car is quick if you beat the hell out of it like I did, but otherwise it sucks.
It would have been nice to have a fifth gear for highway driving.
This car has taught me not to beat up on a poorly made car, because it apparently doesn't take much to destroy it.
Never again will I buy anything Mopar, or anything powered my a cheap Mitsubishi engine.
