They sold well, were small and easy on gas. I had one of the sporty
models with a manual tranny. It went thru two clutches and still
shuttered. Dodge boys never could figure out the problem. I got rid of
it at around 75 k miles. I had two more Dodges after that one before
finally getting my senses and going with Toyota. The Toyotas have been
trouble free.
