1988 Dodge Omni review from North America
"Super value for your money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The electrical system had a minor problem which was remedied by a $30 repair.
General comments?
The Dodge Omni is excellent value for the money.
I purchased the vehicle new for $7400 Canadian dollars, about $5000 Amercian dollars at today's exchange.
Other than tires, brake pads and rotors, exhaust parts, wiper blades, headlights and oil changes the car has cost nothing to maintain.
My Omni is a bit of a joke with my friends and co-workers. They talk about how unattractive it is and how I should upgrade to a newer car. I honestly tell them if Chrysler still produced this car I would buy another.
It's the only car I've been able to afford brand new and it's been a real sweetheart. It owes me nothing and I'm very satisfied.
