1987 Plymouth Horizon review from North America
"Excellent first car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
When I acquired it from my great-grandmother out of her garage...
The hatchback risers didn't work.
Headliner is begining to come unglued in the back (any suggestions?)
The air conditioner didn't work, I'm going to have it switched from the R-12 A/C system to the newer, cheaper 134 type. But, I'm broke.
General comments?
It's an awesome first car, and I recomend it to learn on. It's a bit under-powered, but hey, it's 4 wheels that aren't attached to my skateboard.
It's super clean and the inside is literally showroom quality. I have the high-back "sports" seats, and those are really comfortable if you're into sitting lower to the ground like me.
It was worth the $1000, yes, one thousand dollars I (my parents) paid for it. The insurance company goes easy on me, too. No one wants to steal a Horizon.
