Some Plymouth Acclaim where very good cars. Mine, unfortunately for me, was not. The V6 engine blew a gasket 3 months into ownership. It was never the same, when I would come to a stop I had to pump slightly the brakes to keep the engine from dying. The serpentine belt would fall off easily. Once on the highway it was a great car, it rode nicely.

12 years strong

we bought this car new, it was one of the few we could afford that would fit 3 car seats plus grandma! It now has 116,000 miles on it and has nad no major problems yet. In fact the 3 kids in car seats are all in high school & drive the car daily. We were looking for another Acclaim to give to our second high schooler. This is a good safe car! The V6 engine is great with a carload of 5-6 people.

Not luxurious but definately reliable!

My parents bought this car for me before my junior year of high school, I'm now a senior in college and applying to law school! With well over 100K miles it still runs just as well when I got it. I beat the crap out of this poor car over the years and it's still going strong, EVEN THE ORIGIONAL TIMING BELT! A/C went out at 105k miles but Chrysler never made a decent a/c. I'm getting a new car soon, hope its a reliable as the Plymouth.

My husband and I bought this car just before getting married. It has very little rust (really, not any), and other than the usual repairs like brakes, battery, and tires, it has only been in the shop once for a tune up (in the 7th year) and had the water pump replaced. The car has just under 200,000 miles and shows no signs of leaving us yet. We plan on getting a new car for my husband and keeping the Acclaim around for the older kids and a "kick around" car when needed.

good car gone bad

Car was great at 75,000 still good at 100,000 but has become a money pit ever since...cracked head, left axle, timing belt, water pump, thermostat, oil pan, head gasket, plus the usual repairs. Has 127,000 now and Im gonna sell this car as fast as I can before something else goes wrong.

wish they still made them...

My folks got me this car 2.5 years ago for commuting to school, and it's been great. It has 122k miles on it now, and the only major repair I've had to have done was for a leaking a/c. It's holding up great, although it only gets about 20-22mpg, probably because I'm doing mostly city driving. I love driving this car, and I'm going to miss it when it finally dies (which will luckily probably be a while).

Extensive warranty work on engine. Premature breakdown of A/C; transmission, etc. After 125,000 KM the car became a money pit (transmission, alternator, fuel pump, A/C).

Nothing but a heap o' crap

I got this car initially when I was in high school. We've had to replace the electronic sensor in the car sooo many times, and it always dies when I come to a stop and it has major problems when it comes to the transmission. It doesn't offer a very smooth ride, and the driving bliss is complete with plenty of weird noises from under the hood. Plus belts squeak really badly!

I got this car from my prof last year with 135,000 on the meter.I serviced it once for about $500 which made it better and more fun to drive.The steering control is the best of its kind.Better the the brand new ones in the market.I am lucky to be one of the luckiest drivers to own a PLYM

The acclaim is alright

Its a decent car, though it seems kind of sluggish at times. The oil pan rusted through on me, which seems to happen often to plymouth cars. At 110,000 miles the fuel pump died on me, otherwise its been reliable.

Good buy

I had this car for about 7 years, bought it slightly used at 27,000 miles. It died and internally fell apart at 136,000 miles. I guess that's pretty good but I expected like 160,000 or more since I had taken very good care of it and driven mostly highway miles. Maintenance was decent. Perhaps once every two years I'd have to replace something. My wheel bearing did go three times tho which I thought was strange and I'm not a racing or abusive driver. I met other people who had driving belts break around 60-70,000 miles so at 75,00 I replaced mine as preventative maintenance. No problems there.

Very good car. Front seat is low for short driver. 4 cyl engine has plenty of power. Valve cover replaced because of oil leak. New style installed. No other mechanical problems. Body integrity very good. No rust.
