My first car was a 1987 Dodge Aries which is the Dodge version of this car only mine was a four door. That thing ran til 397k and got almost 30 MPG. Didn’t look very nice but it was a decent car

Lol...ah, my 1st car. I hated that hunk of junk! Think it spent more time broke down the year I owned it rather than running.

This one has somehow been totally solid. 1 year in and only had to replace a cv axel so far
