Edmunds' Expert Review

What’s new
Plymouth brings a hot-rod-style show car to market. Although the Prowler's V6 kicks out a respectable 214 horsepower, it comes only with a four-speed automatic transmission. More show than go, some enthusiasts will lament the Prowler's lack of a V8 and manual gearbox.

A Rare Gem
MrMojoRiser, 03/24/2003
1997 Plymouth Prowler 2dr Convertible
They made less than 400 Prowlers
in '97, the first year they were
produced. People that bought them did
not buy them for gas mileage, comfort,
pricetag, etc,. This car is cool.
People who drive them are cool. If
you can get one, do it! Didn't have
any major or minor defects on this
car. Maintenance has been minimal.
