The car has had an oil leak since I bought it. I knew about the leak when I bought it and it has not gotten any worse.
The drivers seat has taken some wear and I had to have a hinge welded back together in the driver's seat. However the previous owner was heavy.
This has been the most reliable car I have ever owned. It has never failed to start on the first turn of the key.
The car performs well. It is a small economy model, but with the standard transaxle and one or two people it is pretty nippy.
The base model does not have a rear window wiper which does cause some problems in the rainy climate I live in.
The heating system is good.
There is lots of cargo space especially with the rear seats folded down. I hauled a dishwasher home in it no problem.
Hi Steven!
I Just wanted to know if you ever had any trouble while starting your colt? After I start mine I have to keep it going by pumping the gas a little until it warms up or it will stall.
Change your gas filter,,,, install new plugs, wires,,, and air filter,,, I have a 1992...with 128,000 km and it works fine....all the above wer done...including oil and filter change of automatic transmission.

I too own a 91 Dodge Colt I live in Ontario, Canada
I have had my baby for over 8 years it has 197,000 km on the original motor! I love my car! My friends laugh at me because they drive 2000 models, but my car not once has let me down! It purrs in the winter and I never freeze! I love the room it has.. I take my golden retriever with me everywhere in it! The only problems I have had is with front end CV Boots and I replaced the axle! I take it in for regular oil changes and my mechanic is amazed that its in top shape! I don't care what the critics say my car is priceless to me and I wouldn't want to drive anything else!
I love my 1992 Dodge Colt (200E). The original engine had over 250,000 kilometers, but developed a wear in the engine. I love my car so much, I replaced the engine rather than sell it. Other than that I've just kept it well maintained. This summer, baby gets new paint!
