My first new car I bought
5 out of 5 starsMichael, 02/07/2019
1990 Plymouth Laser RS 2dr Hatchback
It was nearly 30 years ago but I remember how I loved the car and took great care of it. Now I’m thinking of finding another one to purchase. If I do I’ll be sourcing a different engine for it with better horsepower and torque and most likely a 1992 with AWD. The issue mine had was the timing belt broke 3 times in the first 70k miles. The first break was at 40k miles and the whole motor … had to be replaced under warranty. It was a great handling car though and loads of fun to drive fast through the corners. I also had a 94 RS & 96 Eclipse turbo but they didn’t handle the curves like the first generation DSM Lasers. Hmm I may try to squeeze a 6 cylinder Ecoboost turbo with 385 HP in one. 😀
It's a DSM

This DSM, like all, need lots of
attention. The car can be troublesome
when puting upgrades in, bolt on or
otherwise. You will always want to
have patience with this car. The only
other problem is that the backseat
isn't very useable. Other than that,
The Plymouth Laser is a fun car to
drive and one that you will get
noticed in.

The Best Car I Will Ever Own

1990 Plymouth Laser RS 2dr Hatchback
The Plymouth Laser RS was my first
car. It had the best sound system and
gas milegage you could ever ask for. I
am a college student and I drove
everywhere and that car only needed
14.00 once every two weeks to fill it
up. It was a very realible car and ran
great. Exterior wise it was a metallic
blue that was very intriging. The
shape of it was very mezmorizing and …
the interior of it was very nice too.
The car itself was very good in rain
and snow. I honestly could not have
asked for a better car. I would
honestly recommended this car to
anyone. It is a great sports car for a
great price!
