1986 Dodge Diplomat S.E. review from North America
"It's a very classy looking vehicle that gets a lot of looks"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Sluggush on morning start up.
Needed rear shocks.
Needed some exhaust work.
General comments?
The interior is mint.
Once the engine is warmed up, it is very quick.
Handles very well.
Wish it had a trunk light.
