  Solidly Built and Reliable - 1991 Dodge Spirit
  By Dale - April 18 - 12:22 pm

  I bought this car because my 01 Stratus was totaled over the winter. It had 110,700 miles on it at purchase, and now has 113,000. This car handles freeway speeds of 75-80 mph with no problems, and I use the freeway 3 or more times a week traveling between 20 and 30 mile distances one way. The power seats are comfortable and all the controls are simple and within reach. Im 64 and the leg room is ample enough for comfort. I would recommend the Spirit to anybody needing affordable, reliable transportation.

  I had a good experience - 1991 Dodge Spirit
  By Wall Street - December 16 - 8:07 pm

  I got my Dodge Spirit around 2003-04. It had the 2.5L engine which had decent pickup and was fairly good on gas. The seat had good back support and the interior was easy to navigate. The car was easy to drive and was absolutely superior on snow and ice to any comparable car that I have ever driven. I believe this is due to the weight and shape. I never had a problem with the car until I decided to race it super hard one night, allowing the RPMs to be very high for an extended period of time. This blew the cylnder head. If I had not done that, I would probably still be driving it today. I thoroughly enjoyed owning this car. I blew it up with about 130k miles.

  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!

  Dodge Spirit R/T - 1991 Dodge Spirit
  By Old Dave - September 4 - 7:53 pm

  This year I used this car for business travel about 125 miles/day about 4 days each week. Car performed very well in all types of weather including snow and ice. I had winter tires on it. It would do 30-31 mpg at 75 mph all day long. Very quick and good handling, never boring to drive. It is possibly the best all around car I have ever owned. I would buy another with no hesitation if I could find a nice one. One shows up on eBay from time to time. I keep watching.

  Owner for 13 years. - 1991 Dodge Spirit
  By nisaty - February 5 - 2:00 am

  I am selling my car after 13 years only because my daughter sold me a newer one. I have had wonderful luck with this car. There was only one unexpected repair and normal maintenance in those 13 years.

  Long Term Owner - 1991 Dodge Spirit
  By JohnQ - July 3 - 2:00 am

  I bought this car in 1991 and have driven it for over 12 years. Repairs have been been minor and very few. Maintenance is easy to do myself and the parts are standard and not expensive. This is without a doubt the most reliable car I have ever owned, and has certainly been a good value. I keep thinking that I will trade it in when it dies but it just keeps on running great. I can still do 75 mph on the highway and it still gets 24 mpg driving around town.

  Keeps on Ticking - 1991 Dodge Spirit
  By joburnet - April 28 - 2:00 am

  When I bought this vehicle it had 84k miles on it and now it has almost 170k. It has lasted me through college and is still going and I have never had any major problems. It is starting to show its age, paint is starting to peel in places, but its never let me down and actually handles great in the snow. The 2.5 Liter engine is very good quality but I cant speak for the others.

  Fastest K-car from the factory! - 1991 Dodge Spirit
  By joffficer - January 17 - 2:00 am

  I bought this car a few months for fun, and as a work car. Im amazed at how much power Dodge got out of the 2.2L engine! It surprises everyone who rides in it, and all those left behind! The seats are pretty comfortable, and there is plenty of room. If you get a chance, and can find one (only 1200 built) grap it... its a great sedan for well under $2000!

  Good, basic transportation - 1991 Dodge Spirit
  By PaulD - October 25 - 2:00 am

  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.
