"Take care of your car and it will take care of you!"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Dash board has become cracked after only 19 years...

Front seats tore after only 19 years...

Have had to do "Preventative Maintenance" for 19 years...

General comments?

I just got this car from my father, who bought it brand new. My father is a big believer in taking car of your vehicles, and this car shows it works. After 19 years, the original engine and transmission still run great and still get almost 40 miles to the gallon. We've found that if you do regular oil changes, tune-ups and just generally take car of a car it should serve you well. Obviously, there are going to be cases where all the preventative maintenance in the world can't keep certain things from happening. However, we've never had any severe problems with this car at all. It still runs like a champ! I can't believe this car still runs as good as it does... especially with chrysler products being the POS's that they are. If you can find one that's been well taken care of, pick it up! You'll thank me.

Your Colt was built by Mitsubishi (I think probably in Japan), not by Chrysler. They were just 're-badged' by Chrysler.

He's right, it's not a chrysler POS.

It's a mitsubishi POS.
