BETTER THAN MY $5K DODGE...
i bought this car after my 5 thousad dollar 2000 dodge intrepid died, the motor blew. i found this car through a co-worker who sold it to me for $500, almost 4 years ago. ive never had a problem with the motor or transmission. ive never had any issues, besides regular wear issues. i had to put around 550 dollars into it for inspection purposes. but after that nothing else. just drove it 650 miles (first road trip) and it didnt skip a beat. i averaged 20 mpg, which for a 4 cylinder i think is high. considering the weight of the car, i assume. good car to me. has 146,000 miles on it now.
big on the inside
Dad bought this stripped down new in 99. Manual windows, locks and tranny with the 2.0 motor. Mom drove it from CT to WA a year after Dad died to give it to me so my kids could drive it. 2.0 is weak, but with the manual tranny, it freely spins up to 5000+ RPMs for decent getup and go with only one person in it. Load it down with 4 adults, and it's a slug. 28 mpg combined makes up for it! LOTS of room for 4 people, plenty of legroom in back. Body tight, some suspension rattles. Interior has held up well. LOTS of interior room and BIG trunk for a car of this size. Head gasket replaced last month for nearly a grand! Other than that, SOLID reliability. Everything works.
Caution
I have 90000 on my Breeze. It has never left me walking but leaks oil constantly. I have had the head gasket replaced and 4 other oil leaks fixed. It has no power 2.0 engine. I would not reccomend for anyone to buy this car.
Wish They Would of Continued Model
I bought this car when my Acclaim was on its 3rd transmission. I really liked it. Then my youngest daughter turned 16. She put more miles than I ever did. Thank God she's 23 and has a even nicer car Chevy Impala-07. But during the years that she'd talk me into it I do some repairs on the car which is to be expected. It's 2008 I still have the car and talked about trading it in but I think I will take it in and have everything done with it as my car really didn't give me any problems and I don't need a new fancy car. When polished and everthing done it is a nice car and rides so good.
Great car, not-so-great resale value
We bought the car new and were very pleased with it thoughout its 6 year stay with us. Had one head gasket problem which was covered under warranty. After 6 years, it really felt like a new car with super-tight steering. Got good gas mileage with the 2.4L and it was a zippy car. It's resale value however was lousy and when it got rear-ended, repairs exceeded what the car was worth and they had to claim it as a total loss.
