1988 Plymouth Reliant K review from North America
"Built like a tank, will it ever die?"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Paint is beginning to fade.
The usual maintenance, brakes, tires, that's it.
General comments?
This thing is a tank. It just won't die. I've literally been driving the hell out of it for well over a year, and I can't kill it. I've even got a 2000w stereo in it, and the alternator is still good. Nothing, I repeat, NOTHING, has gone wrong with this car. If it wasn't so ugly, and slow, it might be a good car. The thing is a tank though, you can't kill these things.
