Bought my wife a new Dodge Aries in '87 A metallic rose color with a red interior with the 2.6 I4, automatic. Was the perfect travel car for us and good on gas. Put more than 180,000 on it and the only thing I ever had to do to it was replace a bad motor mount after about 8 years. Replaced the brakes once and then the regular oil changes. Had it for 10 years and then gave it to my niece without a scratch on it. She allowed it to develop an oil leak which resulted in a vehicle fire a year later.
