This is my 3rd Acclaim in about 10 years. I love these cars. They're reliable and excellent in the snow, not to mention inexpensive to operate and maintain.

I love this car! I've owned it for 10 years with no major repairs. Yes, the paint peeled horribly but I had it repainted and it looks like new. This car is very comfortable and roomy for a small car. It knocks a little upon start-up but it has done this since I bought the car. It burns a little oil but not so much that I must add oil between oil changes. For a 14 year old car, it still gets 30 mpg on the highway. It has lots of get-up-and- go. I have taken care of this car and it has taken care of me.

We could always count on this car with very little time in the shop. Plenty of room throughout the car. Great for shopping or traveling and with 23mph city and 28 highway not too expensive to use. Yes the valves tap but they've been tapping for 60 thousand miles with no problem. My wife loves it and had it repainted last year. The original paint job was coming off but with the new color it's almost like new.

What a great car

My parents bought this car back in 1992 and it has been wonderful. Although the paint has basically scaled away on the roof and the hood, the car still runs great. The acceleration on it isn't great now, but then again its a 15 year old 4- cylinder economy car. The car's wonderful on long car trips, as it has plenty of room. I chose to drive this car instead of a 2000 PT Cruiser; that car was a piece of junk.
