"Super value for your money"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

The electrical system had a minor problem which was remedied by a $30 repair.

General comments?

The Dodge Omni is excellent value for the money.

I purchased the vehicle new for $7400 Canadian dollars, about $5000 Amercian dollars at today's exchange.

Other than tires, brake pads and rotors, exhaust parts, wiper blades, headlights and oil changes the car has cost nothing to maintain.

My Omni is a bit of a joke with my friends and co-workers. They talk about how unattractive it is and how I should upgrade to a newer car. I honestly tell them if Chrysler still produced this car I would buy another.

It's the only car I've been able to afford brand new and it's been a real sweetheart. It owes me nothing and I'm very satisfied.

I thought this was a very good survey, I my self owned an Omni, I thought the review was very good over all! Also it had a little extra Information which is not bad at all! But I like dodge and this was a very good review for Dodge! I liked this review very much!

Agreed, nice review. I owned a 1988 Omni, inexpensive to maintain, and a nice little commuter car. The only major expense was the a/c went out (seemed to be a major dodge problem with 4 cylinder engines.) But again, great review, fair, and true to the little gas saver Omni!

I loved my Omni. :) Bought it for $400 when I was 16, and it lasted until I was 19. It was cheap to run and cheap to maintain. For a short time, I had a fuse issue that actually took out all the running lights and interior lights, but that was an inexpensive fix. Also, the horn went out... which my trusted mechanic replaced with a horn that sounded exactly like a huge barge. (That made the car even more fun.) I would definitely buy another for an around-town car if they still made 'em... it didn't do so hot the one time I tried to highway drive it, though.
