1972 Dodge Colt LE review from North America
"Low in price with performance and reliability to match"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Frequent stalling. Most mechanics consulted were unable to diagnose the problem. Finally found a mechanic who determined that the "idle limit solenoid" was defective. He replaced it and the car ran well again.
General comments?
Basic "no frills" transportation.
Not reliable enough or comfortable enough for long road trips.
OK for short trips and local around town driving.
