  • Great - 1990 Dodge Spirit
    By -

    I purchased my 1989 Spirit "Turbo" with 24 miles on it. The first 110,000 miles the car was "God Sent". Little to no problems at all. I ran her good and kept my maintance up on her. At 110K her transmission went, 115K head gasket went and at 120k second head gasket was needed so I sold her. Everthing still worked in her. I brought her new, loaded and kept her for 8 years. I was sorry to see her go.

  • Nice car -- bad trans. - 1994 Dodge Spirit
    By -

    The spirit is a generally reliable car, with good V6 power, decent interior comfort, and a smooth ride. The only problem I have with it is the 4 speed automatic. The unit in mine died two weeks after purchase, throwing itself into safety mode in which it will only go forward in second gear. Even after a $1200 rebuild and about 18 months, it still doesnt feel like it works correctly, occasionally searching for gears while attempting to downshift or slamming itself into first gear.

  • Bought it new - 1990 Dodge Spirit
    By -

    I bought this car new in 1990 and have always loved it. Minor rust on doors. Original engine and transmission. Ive always tried to keep the car maintained and it has always done the job. The only disappointment was the radio, which had to be replaced after 5 years.

  • Good, basic transportation - 1991 Dodge Spirit
    By -

    We bought the car as a demo car, back a long time ago. 10 years later, the car still runs great. Its not perfect, weve had a few things go wrong over the years. But what do you expect for an inexpensive basic car? The number of things to go wrong has been I think below average for a car with 200,000 miles on it.

  • Dependable Car - 1993 Dodge Spirit
    By -

    This car has been mechanically sound. I gave my son this car 2 years ago with 75,000 miles on it with just a couple of minor problems. He has driven it another 50,000 miles or so without any major problems but the engine has seen better days. I am told the timing belt should have been replaced but so far it has been ok. 2 cylinders are not working properly ,but until now few major problems.

  • hull anything around - 1993 Dodge Spirit
    By -

    it handles well, reliable, i can take curbs at a 130km no sweat, v6 helps out when im passing people, lots of leg room in back seat, which makes it great for tall people. i can carry around more things than most people cause of the design.

  • 250,000 and still fun ! - 1991 Dodge Spirit
    By -

    I bought my 1991 6 cyl ES as a work car and found it to be the best I ever had. I still use it as a fun car after 250,000 miles. Guess what - I went out and bought a beautiful 1992 Spirit as its replacement! Sadly I wrecked it in the rain - but it saved my life - solidly built machine. Im currently looking for a 94-96 Spirit to replace it. My opinion -if you see one - buy it!

  • Spirit good for 250,000 - 1991 Dodge Spirit
    By -

    Purchased the Car at 70,000. Parked it at 250,000 miles. Great car at 27- 30mpg. Temp was a problem on this 4 cyl. Suggest changing to a 3rd party radiator, all heating and cooling problems stopped. Had to replace head gasket and air conditioner due to high temp. Replace the radiator and this car will run forever at 75. Use injector cleaner to improve gas mileage. I would not consider a 6 cyl.
