Tons of fun

1992 Plymouth Laser RS Turbo 2dr Hatchback AWD
I owned a 1992 and a 1993.
Common problems include transmission synchronizers after about 50k miles and turbos after 100k miles.
And you don't want to forget to change the timing belt at about 60k miles.
Overall this car is outstanding to drive.
Crazy acceleration off the line but less when you hit 2nd gear.
Still a super nice sports car with 50/50 power split between front and rear … wheels which makes for wonderful handling especially if you use the throttle to lift the front end a little and power through curves with the front wheels pulling you in the direction you want to go.
The car is capable of amazing speed in rally type conditions.
Snow, gravel, or ice won't slow you down.

Great Car with 1 Major flaw
Shyama, 09/27/2003
1991 Plymouth Laser RS 2dr Hatchback
I bought the car (Electric Blue
Metallic) with dealer installed ground-
effects, alloy rims and dark tinting.
It looked sleek and sexy. It was a very
good performer. I got it up to about
130 in the Utah desert while on a 7
month tour I took right after I bought
it.
I only rated it 8 for performance
because of the 135 hp engine, still it
was agile and glued to the … road.
But it had one fatal problem...the
TIMING Belt broke 3 times. The first
time I was idling so I just replaced it
and drove away, the second time I put
in a new engine, and the 3rd time I
gave it to my gear-head brother. Except
for the timing belt a great car.

Gutsy & Reliable

1991 Plymouth Laser RS Turbo 2dr Hatchback
Have driven this car for over 60,000
miles. It's fast, responsive and gets
very good gas mileage. One repair
only - the cruise control went out.
Extremely reliable. I have 98,000
miles on it now with the original brake
pads. Keep bringing it in and my
repair guy keeps telling me they look
like new.
