1997 Plymouth Breeze review from North America
"A Sweet Ride"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The only major problem I can think of, was that (at around 120,000 miles) the tie rods went and we had to have it towed home.
Seats seem to be designed with women in mind; I found them to be extremely comfortable whereas my male counterparts did not.
Didn't seem to be too incredibly good in the snow, perhaps it was just the tires.
General comments?
This car really has some power, and handles excellently.
The interior, through heavy usage (kids, moving, dogs, cats) had maintained its form and comfort.
Very bright and roomy inside; you can see everything from the drivers' seat.
A little above average gas mileage, got me where I wanted to go efficiently.
When I totaled it in January, I hit a Dodge Pickup head-on, on an icy road... It was a hard hit and the car looks like it went through a meat grinder, but I escaped with a small bruise on my elbow and a sore fist, as I hit the windshield with it as the airbag deployed. Had I been driving anything less, I wouldn't be here writing about how great the car was. :)
