1992 Plymouth Acclaim 4 door sedan review from North America
"Crap"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The body is really weak, I mean by that is that if you barely hit it hard, it will make a dent. The paint chips after awhile.
It starts to lose power in the motor after a fresh tune-up and oil change.
Every little thing went out on this car; for a I4 2.5, it sucks gas pretty bad, and the shocks wear down real fast (stock shocks).
If it sits in the sun too long (like every day for like 2 hours or so), the paint fades bad.
It does not have a lot of take-off power, and the original (stock) cassette players die really fast, it ain't very compatible.
General comments?
I think Plymouth should have put more money into these Acclaims, they are very bad cars. I would not suggest buying one unless you have a fat wallet.
