1988 Plymouth Reliant le review from North America
"Very tough and yet a piece of crap - I'm still confused"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Frost plug.
A/C evaporator coil (new system r-134a)
General comments?
Do I or Don't I spend more money on it?
Even with only 64000 km I still am unsure about spending on it.
Seems reliable after 18 years.
I do not clean it.
It does get rustproofing (Krown).
Relatively quiet.
Always starts.
Looks like a Grandmother car.
