1983 Dodge Rampage Sport review from North America
"Just plain cool"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Emergency brake didn't work.
Needed brake pads.
Some minor surface rust.
Electric choke is a peace of crap! It just doesn't like to idol until it warms up.
General comments?
It handles really, really well! I was driving it home and couldn't believe how well it took my steering input, even with manual steering.
Cruise control is cool, but I'd rather drive myself.
For a 4-banger (I'm use to V8s with over 400 horsepower) it's fairly quick. The engine has a nice sound.
The interior is cool, with a little work and polish and some better speakers it'll be a nice place to spend a few hours in on a road trip.
The bed is great for hauling car parts and stuff, camping (it came with a camper cover), and just general use.
I wish it had a little more storage space behind the rear seats, but other than it's great.
