  Perfect First Car! - 1992 Dodge Spirit
  By danilittrell - October 16 - 11:24 am

  I got this car a little over a year and a half ago, and It had just over 100,000 miles on it. Ive put on about 20,000 miles since then, and I havent had any major issues. Of course, since it is not 10 years old, a lot of the parts are giving out because of age, but other than that, it runs great. I have a V6 Automatic, so I dont have the best gas mileage. If I wasnt looking for a car with better gas mileage, I would continue to drive this car til it gave out (which Im sure it could go another 5-6 years easily.) It is true, TAKE CARE of your car and it will take care of you! Since Ive done that, the problems have been minimal! Love my dodge!

  Best first car - 1990 Dodge Spirit
  By Owen - October 6 - 2:00 am

  I have owned the car for a while now and it has been great to me. when you have a light foot, you can get 25 mpg in the city and over 35 mpg on the highway. the 2.5 is a great little motor. only have a 3 speed auto. ac still works and blows 50 degree air into the car. it also has a great ride to it. it irons out a lot of the bumps on the road. i am 6 foot 1 and i can fit any where and be comfortable, even with the front seats as far back as possible and sitting in the back. the big trunk in it is also great to have because i always carry around my tools and i still have a lot of space to fit a kart full of groceries in it at the same time.

  Decent car for money - 1994 Dodge Spirit
  By Ray - April 28 - 10:28 am

  Hard to find a more rounded car for the $$. I own a 91 Plymouth Acclaim and a 94 Spririt. They have the usual issues around 100k such as the head gasket and the paint on the 94 (white) is flaking off. I get 22mpg average which is not too bad. The local salvage yard is full of these cars so parts are almost free. The car has a surprising amount of room and decent build quality. Ive had both cars head gaskets replaced around 90k. I bought a rebuilt head for the 94 for <200.00. The ignition switch broke in both cars but is a really easy fix. I found a car at the salvage yard with a new switch and keys in it. Slapped it in and off I went. I keep spares on hand from salvaged cars.

  Solid American Vehicle - 1991 Dodge Spirit
  By Lon - August 11 - 10:16 pm

  The drive and appearance of this vehicle are unremarkable. It may leak oil on your driveway but you will not kill this car. Despite being able to find parts in salvage yards the only known cause of death I can attest to has been by demolition derby. The best part is she won.

  My Spirit - 1991 Dodge Spirit
  By Professor - April 20 - 4:08 pm

  This car has performed magnificently for me throughout my ownership of it. Although it was built for economy I found it large enough and comfortable enough for my needs. Although I have kept it serviced regularly it has required almost no repairs. If they still manufactured this model I would buy another one just like it!

  Good car some repairs - 1994 Dodge Spirit
  By mark - July 18 - 8:37 am

  When I bought the car it had a burnt valve, and because of that it would idle in reverse or drive. The head gasket is a problem, but the engine is hard to hurt. It can pull a 1,000 pound trailer with 500 pounds of equipment. When you work the problems out due to age. Its a nice car.

  My favorite car - 1990 Dodge Spirit
  By steve - April 30 - 8:32 pm

  This is a very reliable car. It feels as though it knows exactly what I want. This car has gone over 300 miles a week at times with no problems. Handles very well in snow condition

  Spirit to Soar - 1992 Dodge Spirit
  By Mindy - April 8 - 8:56 pm

  Everything is great except for a few fix-ups and one more serious fix. I really do love this car though. Its great but in saying that I also have to say that before I owned it, it was maticulously taken care of and maintained by the one previous owner.

  10 YEARS & WONDERFUL - 1995 Dodge Spirit
  By marcia - February 15 - 3:02 pm

  Had this car brand new and 10 years going strong. Extremely reliable and great ride. Gone to trade in several times and could not justify because of its excellent performance and smooth ride. Built solid. Gonna drive it till it dies. Saving to give to son because of its features.
