1991 Dodge Spirit 4dr Sedan
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.

1991 Dodge Spirit 4dr Sedan
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 it's age, paint is starting to
peel in places, but it's never let me
down and actually handles great in the
snow. The 2.5 Liter engine is very
good quality but I can't speak … for the
others.
250,000 and still fun !

1991 Dodge Spirit ES 4dr Sedan
I bought my 1991 6 cyl ES as a work car
and found it to be the best I ever had.
I still use it as a fun car after
250,000 miles. Guess what - I went out
and bought a beautiful 1992 Spirit as
its replacement! Sadly I wrecked it in
the rain - but it saved my life -
solidly built machine. I'm currently
looking for a 94-96 Spirit to replace
it. My opinion -if you see one - … buy it!
Spirit good for 250,000

1991 Dodge Spirit 4dr Sedan
Purchased the Car at 70,000. Parked it
at 250,000 miles. Great car at 27-
30mpg. Temp was a problem on this 4
cyl. Suggest changing to a 3rd party
radiator, all heating and cooling
problems stopped. Had to replace head
gasket and air conditioner due to high
temp. Replace the radiator and this car
will run forever at 75. Use injector
cleaner to improve gas mileage. … I
would not consider a 6 cyl.
