1992 Plymouth Acclaim 4dr Sedan
A lot of mecanics don't like these cars just because they are MOPAR and are cheep to fix, they say they have electrical problims but it is easy to fix. It is mostly the wire close to the battery that burns into that causes the backup lights ceiling light, a/c / heater fan, and the back glass defogger to not work but it is easy to replace. Some say the transmissions are poor but they … just don't know how to work on this. It is simply a $120 dollar fix of the two fromt axles with u joints replace those every 100,000 miles the car will run forever. I hope this helps a Plymouth owner with these problems oh and if it sputters and doesn't want to start buy a new distributor. I figured this out and I'm only 21 years old.

Best car I ever had even bet my honda accord

1992 Plymouth Acclaim 4dr Sedan
I love this car. It drives nicely, runs smooth and has had little if any repairs. I purchased car with 40K miles and I've put 100K on it with no problems. Gets about 35mpg highway with 50/50 oil, and 22 combo in town/hwy. I switched to a 50/50 blend slowly, and wow!!! I think I could race a corvette if I had the mind to. Anyway, great car

Reliable, yet not the funnest car

1992 Plymouth Acclaim 4dr Sedan
In the 2 years I owned this car (2000-
2002), the only problems I had were
having to replace brake pads, and
having to replace a rusted out exhaust
pipe. Also, there was a bit of oil
leakage, but not where pressure was
needed, so it didn't affect
performance. Even at 10 years, I
could still out-accelerate most people
on the road, and getting on highway
entrance ramps … were a snap. The
powerful V6 engine catapulted me on
demand, and the brakes worked
excellently, but unfortunately not
excellently enough to save itself two
days ago. NOTE: The engine in my
model had been rebuilt at around
100,000 miles.

Ok so I don't how you other guys are driving your cars but my '92 Plymouth Acclaim (with 2.5L inline 4) averages nearly 35 mpg on the highway even during winter. It has about two hundred and sixty thousand kilometers on it and its still running strong
