Have you ever owned a Dodge Aries or a Plymouth Reliant?

Question

Was it a good car? What did you like about it? What did you dislike about it? They seem like such simple cars. I like their honesty.

Answer 1

I actually drove a 1988 Aries K car as a taxi.It did surprisingly well and was just as good or better than an ltd or Chevy Caprice.It was very maneuverable and got great fuel mileage and lasted past 200,000 miles.

Answer 2

No, but when I was a kid, my mom's boyfriend had a 4-door Aries. It was pretty cool. It got us to Yosemite and back (8 total hours).

And believe it or not, they don't look so old nowadays, either. Definitely a good car for the time (though I don't think it will be getting remade anytime soon...)

Answer 3

I owened an 83 reliant drove it 196,000 minor problems with oil leaks once the milage got high the suspension got weak all in all pertty good car.

Answer 4

i have owned one of each,and i liked them very well,neither one of the ones i had caused any major problems at all,and my wife drove a reliant for about 5 years,it was a really good little car,the thing i liked about the reliant was they way in went in the snow,it did really well,both of the actually went pretty good,but they reliant went a little better in bad weather,good luck .

Answer 5

I have owned both. They were my daughters cars. They were just basic transportation. Had some problems with them, but nothing major. AC lines leaking, map sensors.

Answer 6

LOL, I owned one of each, and they were both crap. Blew the head gaskets out of both of them. Granted I rolled one of the down a hill and had it flipped back upright, kicked the roof out some and drove it around like that for another year.
