1989 Dodge Colt DX review from North America
"Good, reliable car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Head gasket blew at 140,000.
General comments?
Despite the fact that this car has a bad reputation, it has been great to me. I've had it for over 5 years, and the head gasket is the only major problem that I've had. it has never stranded me, still gets great gas mileage, and plows in the snow! roomy and comfortable. I've heard horror stories about these cars, though... I may have gotten lucky.
