Little known great ride
PAE, 01/07/2010
1990 Chrysler Imperial 4dr Sedan
Overall great car. Perfect size for family of 5. Rear seat/leg space just comparable-or better- than Crown Vic. 15" wheels would have been better choice. Aquired car w/ 90000 miles & ran it another 100000. Air suspension gave out & replaced w/ New Yorker suspension. Elegant body design w/ high level interior. Would have kept it longer had there been a need for a 3rd car. Ample trunk … space w/ handy air compressor for emergencies.

1990 Chrysler Imperial 4dr Sedan
Big luxurious 1980's style American boulevardier. Quiet and comfortable on smooth roads, rough pavement causes abrupt and harsh ride. Poor handling, with loose floating motions on quickly undulating freeways. Spacious, first class looking, fully equipped interior Impressively roomy rear seat legroom. Disappointingly, the first class interior styling is betrayed by average contstruction … and assembly. Rattles in doors and dash occasionally sour the luxury ambiance. Powerful but boomy 10 speaker Infinity Ultimate Sound system. Overall a nice blast from the past available for bargain prices. Imperials do not stand up well to abuse or neglect, watch out for well maintained examples.

Imperial more than a name
turbodan, 10/15/2004
1990 Chrysler Imperial 4dr Sedan
I have enjoyed excellent service from
my Imperial. I wanted a good looking,
quiet, dependable, economical, and
unique automobile. The Imperial has not
disappointed me any at all. I receive
compliments on it's good looks and
uniqueness. Most people that inquire
are surprised this car is 15 years old
now. The unique front end, tailights,
and formal roofline set this car … off
from others around it. The sumptuous
interior includes supple Mark Cross
leather seats and a premium sound
system. It rides like a dream but not
wallowy like a boat. You drive
surrounded by genuine luxury, security,
in an atmosphere of peace and quiet.
The car does work the small engine, but
the fuel economy is excellent

Better Buy Than Caddy or Lincoln

1990 Chrysler Imperial 4dr Sedan
This is a distinctive ride. It looks
and acts different than competitive
autos. I've driven Lincolns and
Caddys. The Imperial has a
different 'feel' altogether. It starts
with distinctive looks but goes beyond
that.
A great old car and probably the best
buy for the dollar in its field.
