1987 Dodge Diplomat SE review from North America
"Comfortable car with bad gas mileage"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Fuel pump died.
Fuel lines rusted out.
AC was dead when I got the car.
Drivers side window does not work.
Alignment impossible to keep for more than 600 miles.
Carburator was dead when purchased vehicle.
Timing impossible to keep right.
General comments?
This car is very over powered for its size, on wet roads it slides all over the place while accelerating.
This particular car was plagued with problems because the previous owner did not take care of it.
It gets very poor gas mileage, which the way gas prices are now is a bad thing.
It does have a comfortable ride and has a lot of foot room and cargo space.
