1987 Plymouth Reliant LX review from North America
"Not much on style, but big on reliability"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I replaced the water pump.
I replaced the CV axle.
I had the timing belt replaced by a mechanic.
General comments?
I bought this car intending to run it for one year and then buy something decent. I've driven it for almost three years and the darn thing won't quit.
It is easy to maintain and repair.
Its unmistakable box design keeps my kids from wanting to borrow it.
It has great heat and air conditioning, a good car to commute back and forth to work.
