1991 Plymouth Acclaim review from North America

Bouncy ride. Windshield washer fluid warning light alwyas on.

AC getting week.

I want expecting much. I drove KCARS, OMNIS, and the horrible Sundances, even crappy Lasers and the Stealth, all left a poor impression of the Chrysler product.

An old man down the street sold the Acclaim to me at 30,000 miles for $500, in mint condition. It's now at 130,000.

I only replaced brakes.

My wife drives it. It is now poorly maintained. One oil change in the last 50 000, but I do top it up. I want expecting much. I don't like it. It is slow, dull, handles poorly.

It has a bigger car feel on the inside. It is like a well made K Car. It IS a well made K Car. Cheap, poor design, but

well assembled.

I have to admit here is is very reliable, to my surprise. My mechanic 'OK', to my surprise. I thought we'd have blown them gasketssaid they were or the tranny by now and we could scrap it for a nice old Caddy or Lincoln, but alas it runs strong.

Even the tape deck works. The AC is pretty week now.

I get the impression that this was a reliable model overall, but Chrysler went on to make some real crap in the 90s, like the Intrepids, Neons etc.

If this one hits a big repair, Ill go out and buy another car. They are cheap!
