Review

I bought this car needing a head gasket. Replaced that and the timing belt. A few months later did a complete tune up and right know i need to flush the tranny and i think it will be just about as good as new. I think its pretty good for a four cylinder and cheap tranny(no overdrive), they really should of had the four speeds with overdrive standard. But all in all its not a bad car.

Favorite Features

I like the center console. I really like that it tells how many mpg you get and how many miles you have left in the tank. I like the overall styling.

Suggested Improvements

STOP USING 3-speed TRANSMISSION!!!!!!! Not having overdrive just kills your gas milage and its just not smart to build something in the late 80's early 90's with out overdrive. If cars in the late 50's had overdrive why not these???

Review

I have recently purchased a 1990 LeBaron Sedan. This car has only 53K original miles and is quite impressive. I have never been a Chrysler guy, but can honestly say this model has changed my thinking. First off I am six feet four and fit comfortably with the power seat adjusted. The interior is plush and the accoutrements are extensibly convenient. The motor has generous power with front wheel drive and decent fuel economy, (Average 21 M.P.G.) The style is streamlined and elegant with the Landau roof and Opera windows. Overall I am suprisingly enthused and ecstatic regarding my new car.

Favorite Features

Comfort, power, handling and looks.

Suggested Improvements

Nothing!

Power&good MPG, watch A/C & oil burning

Review

Plenty of acceleration power with the V6 EFI. I get 26 mpg with 6 cylinders. A real smooth ride at highway speeds. At purchase, 5 years ago, my LeBaron was 9 years old and had 68K miles. I have put on 90K miles. The quality of the air conditioning units is suspect. I have gone through 2 units. Three separate auto mechanics have given bad review for LeBaron A/C units. My LeBaron burns a quart of oil per week. May be just my car - it now has 150K miles. My mechanic does not know of oil burning being a common problem for LeBarons.

Favorite Features

Digit dashboard. Seats are very comfortable - I have taken 3 cross country trips.

Suggested Improvements

Air conditioning. I have blown two air conditioners, both Chrysler installed products.

Review

This is a great car. Its worth ever dime. There comfortable, and great to drive. Its 13 years old, and looks like new. There engines are much better then the old 4 cyl. They have alot of power behind them, and for u fast drives i raced a mustang and beat it!!

Favorite Features

Favorite thing about the car, would be 3 things, the power it has, the convertable, and the fact that it still looks new.

Suggested Improvements

Improvements would have to be like they did with the older models with the headlights, i have had some problems with them not opening, but its easy to fix.

Review

My parents bought this car new almost 14 years ago, and it still runs like the day they drove it home. The engine starts right up, and the V-6 still moves it along much better than the 2003 Mustang I recently rented. Cosmetically, the car could have been built a litle better. There have always been some clunks and rattles. All in all, it's a great car. I am very pleased.

Favorite Features

Digital Instruments, V-6, Power Top

Suggested Improvements

Smaller doors, higher driving position.

Review

I bought my 1990 Lebaron Convertible from the original owner for $500. It had 78000 miles on it. It is a dark blue color with a blue interior and a black top. It was filthy dirty when I got it, but it cleaned up like new. other than normal maintenance items, all I've had to replace it the rear left-hand power window motor. the car runs and drives great, but is pretty slow. Still it is great fun to drive. I gave it to my 16 year old son, and am looking for another one for me. really fun little car.

Favorite Features

Convertible top... hide-away headlights

Review

No '87 so here goes. Beautiful car, but low mileage (80000) and stuff is starting wear out with age, not use. All of it is convienece, not driveability. Love the digital speedometer, but it has problems. Not very comfy, but the seats are in immaculate condition. Very reliable, and looks very sharp. Since it is ancient, it must be treated nice, although when you wanna get up and go, just puss that gas and let the turbo do the rest.

Favorite Features

Digital speedometer, overall style of the car, quality of interior goodies not available on other cars of the same year. Turbo...

Suggested Improvements

Make doors stay open by themselves (weigh a ton) comfort could be improved, gas mileage, better turning radius

Review

The 1990 lebaron GT convertible is a sharp looking,decent riding,smooth running car BUT,you must treat it with a little TLC.Patience and mechanical bility are also required.Most ANY car will give you problems if you drive it hard or don't MAINTAIN it.If driven with respect,(it IS a touring car,NOT a race car)it will give you many miles of pleasure.However,like anything that is rewarding,you have to work at it.But this is part of the fun!To own one of these,be prepared to spend time working on it,but it will reward you many times over.Treat it well,and it will return the favor.I believe the 90 & 91 may approach collector status some day.

Favorite Features

Good power(6 cylinder),manuevers well,looks great(white or black),good sound system,comfortable,smooth ride on smooth roads,fun to drive.

Suggested Improvements

front end quivers on bumpy roads,tends to smoke if not driven or maintained regularly,fuel system problems(fuel pump?),rear window motors tend to fail,the list can go on.

Review

there was no place for me to put in a review about an 89 lebaron, so this is the closest i could find. my lebaron has 178,000 miles on it and its still a reliable car. it is great on gas and considering its age i think its decent looking and kind of cute. i have never had any major problems. normal wear and tear, but that is it.

Favorite Features

covertable top

Suggested Improvements

bigger backseats, more power
