1988 Dodge Colt L review from North America
"Basic/inexpensive in-city transportation"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
1-) Manifold replaced due to a crack.
2-) Clutch cable replaced.
3-) A/C not working (I don't know why)
4-) CV boot cover replaced
General comments?
I have an 88 COLT 2 DR Red/Stick Shift. My friend gave it to me free (instead of the junkyard).
I was planning to fix the car and then sell it to make some money. After using the car more than 2 months, I like it and have not found any reason to sell it (after all, I cannot find another free car with this level of reliability).
This car has 119K on it and it does the job. I liked the car because of gas consumption + quick acceleration. This is a very good second car to save the expensive one.
I recommend this car for basic/inexpensive in-city transportation.
