in my formative years i had a glh and a lebaron turbo...also a couple omni's and a town and country lebaron convertible. the most glowing review that i can say about them is that they are complete shit. they ride like marshmallows. they torque steer, the manual trans is crap and operated by cables that stretch out after 60k and get so sloppy it wont shift. the autos are also really bad. the reverse gears lose lubrication and chew themselves up to the point they won't work anymore. the seats are made for fat people and provide no support. the dash and for that matter, the entire car looks like and is a cheap piece of plastic. i have owned well over 100 different cars in my day. even a pinto station wagon and a fucking renaut fuego. i have to say for certainty, these are the worst cars i have ever owned. other that those minor details, they are really good cars....i guess.

Found the guys For Sale thread and build thread on TurboDodge.
(My memory is foggy on some of this stuff) But yeah, These cars did have their problems like every other car made. The A525 trans would break under higher power engines, a girdle is still made for those who want to run that trans. I had to put one on mine after my A525 went out. But Chrysler fixed the weak trans by replacing it with a A555 Getrag in 87 or 88. But i know my grandparents bought a new K car in 89 and it was a TOTAL lemon! But yet their neighbor had one they bought a year old and had hardly any problems! As for fat people only seats, i do recall all of mine and with some of my larger friends having a hard time sitting in the seats cause they wasn't really for fat people, now the reagular run of the mill cars like base model or ones that where ment to be comfy would seat a large person just fine. Also the ride was soft on most of them cause they where ment to be soft. Or if you got a Shelby or IROC or R/T, then the ride would improve :evil:. I probably will get looked like an oddball for saying this, but my 92 Daytona IROC was probably the best handling car from the factory that i've owned! That car was a fun little car and i miss it at times.
