1997 Plymouth Breeze from North America
Summary:
A Sweet Ride
Faults:
The only major problem I can think of, was that (at around 120,000 miles) the tie rods went and we had to have it towed home.
Seats seem to be designed with women in mind; I found them to be extremely comfortable whereas my male counterparts did not.
Didn't seem to be too incredibly good in the snow, perhaps it was just the tires.
General Comments:
This car really has some power, and handles excellently.
The interior, through heavy usage (kids, moving, dogs, cats) had maintained its form and comfort.
Very bright and roomy inside; you can see everything from the drivers' seat.
A little above average gas mileage, got me where I wanted to go efficiently.
When I totaled it in January, I hit a Dodge Pickup head-on, on an icy road... It was a hard hit and the car looks like it went through a meat grinder, but I escaped with a small bruise on my elbow and a sore fist, as I hit the windshield with it as the airbag deployed. Had I been driving anything less, I wouldn't be here writing about how great the car was. :)
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

I am the proud owner of a 1997 Plymouth Breeze. It seems like your problems are due to a lack of maintenance. I also experienced the loud noise upon turning the motor off. This was cured by simply replacing the P.C.V. Valve. I also regularly replace my Transmission Fluid. My Car now has 298k miles on the clock on the original Transmission. It seems you were either unlucky in your purchase or your car was abused before you took ownership.
