Motorweek 1993 Chrysler Concorde Road Test

[@markfeldman6509]

I had a 3.5 ‘95 which I drive for 5 years and 100,000 miles trouble free. Gave it to my daughter when she turned 16 and she drove it for two more years. It was reliable, sporty and safe. No gripes from me. Was a great looking car for that era.

[@Grayskull77]

I've owned a 1997 Chrysler Concorde and I still currently own a 1996 Chrysler Concorde with the 3.3 V6. Over 200K miles and still a strong engine, although it is now having transmission issues, so It will most likely need to be rebuilt.

[@jackdough8164]

Those engines are super reliable!!

[@andywest6751]

I always liked the styling of them

[@kanob6440]

That's impressive. JUST now having issues at 200k mines with a car you've had for years. Sheeeit😅

[@jeremyb4493]

Had a 1994 grand voyager with the 3.3. Gave it to my sad 11 years ago with 245,000 miles and he still uses it. Never smoked/burned oil but I did have the transmission rebuilt 2 or 3 times. I was also very hard on that van using it for work. Great engine.

[@scott8919]

Part of me wants to see a modern Concorde that does something just as curved and futuristic and this felt in the 90s.

[@marquisemiller2108]

I've literally been saying that for years as well, I think the cab forward look would work today!!!

[@samarch2189]

My Grandmother had a 96 Concorde LXi 3.5L. It was smooth, quiet, roomy, and moderately fast. A perfect Granny car. I even got to drive it a few times when I had my learners permit. She drove it for 10 years until the fuel rail cracked and it almost caught on fire! Then she "downgraded" to a mid size foreign car, which she still owns to this day.

[@peep39]

I remember the blizzard of 93 that John mentioned. Got a day home from school. Lots of ice. Later my mom bought a used 98 LHS, and then I bought a used 2000 Concorde. Good handling cars

[@workingcountry1776]

If reliability backed up the looks and comfort Chrysler corp wouldn't be on life support today

[@jessem8690]

Why does every single person MotorWeek hired to sit in the cars try to break the gear shift?

[@vaughnmiller4371]

MotorWeek with John Davis, one of my favorite TV programs of all time. I own the 1996 Chrysler Concorde silver Pearl taupe undercoat paint that match the taupe leather interior and I love that car, kept it for 7 years before it got totaled. Good times. 🚗

[@richmausner]

I had a 95 Concorde with the 3.5. What a great car. Rode and handled so well. Tranny went bad at about 130,000 miles and I had to say goodbye. It was very good and reliable til then. Too bad Stellantis can't make a car as good as that anymore.

[@PamelaBellOfficial]

My mother's 94 Concorde also started having major mechanical problems at 130,000 miles, which was in 2005.

[@SpeedDudeGTX]

Chrysler was mostly always unreliable to begin with. They will eventually fall apart one day.

[@VDPEFi]

Such a good looking car

[@handzus19]

My parents were contemplating the Chrysler Intrepid vs. Concorde in the mid 90s when I was in elementary school. I miss the 90s.

[@PolishJoe1000]

Wow, this really brings back some memories.

[@hutchcraftcp]

It's a shame that the transmission was so expensive to repair on the LH cars. Many went to the scrap yard just because of the price of a new transmission

[@Sanpedranoazul]

This 90s Chrysler design line was flawless!!!

[@mailmanjoe]

Was it though??

[@fernandorocha901]

Chrysler Concorde is design futuristic from 1990s

[@mrBILL-sr2cu]

I had a '93 Concorde - one of the first received at my dealer. It was a miserable car that was full of problems. After three months, I went back to Buick (Regal GS sedan)

[@RA-wl1vt]

These cars were a huge improvement for Chrysler Corporation over the K car based lineup they had previously. These were big comfortable cars and were very popular at the time.

[@aguerra1381]

Such beautiful cars..

[@watchmeconquer9236]

My mom had a 97 Concorde from 2002 to 2009 up until the engine started running only on five cylinders and couldn’t go no faster than 45 mph….. in 2009 she gotta 2009 Honda Accord thanks to the Cash For Clunkers situation

[@devinbiz]

The LH models were barely distinguishable from each other in the first generation

[@tonymanzi3358]

I owned a Chrysler Concorde!! Loved it, it had the 3.5 v6,had it for many yrs!!

[@esserdennis03]

Love this car

[@fernandorocha8459]

Beautiful this Chrysler Concorde

[@patrickmichael3384]

My Chrysler loving grandpa had a used 1996 Concorde.

[@marshalmagooo3899]

Cab forward design with a Eastern European quality transmission

[@Friedchicken80]

Eastern European transmissions were reliable as hell. Even Yugos, FSO Polonez, Ladas and GAZ had better transmission than this POS.

[@GeeEm1313]

My aunt had a 93 Intrepid and had to replace the engine within months of buying the car.

[@chrislong8986]

This car should have been given to Plymouth

[@devinbiz]

Yes and no, the Plymouth would have competed against the Concorde, which was already badge engineered too broadly across the divisions. Plus even with the 3 variants, they were already at maximum production

[@chrislong8986]

@@devinbiz I ment that Plymouth should have had the Concorde and Chrysler should of had just LHS and New Yorker

[@jst7714]

@@chrislong8986I agree, it was obvious for years that Plymouth was dying of malnutrition while Chrysler was becoming too watered down.

[@tall_dude1233]

The Vision should have been made a Plymouth product, so it wouldn't have been discontinued until at least 2001.

[@thecharger98]

They originally did plan another LH car called the Plymouth Accolade.

[@danielferstendig]

Would make a good police car/taxi

These cars did not age well, because of quality and design.

[@Damonslayton-nc2lp]

It's Now having tranny trouble WOW

[@therealdaveycrocko8774]

These were reliable up to the first two years then reliability drastically dropped. It was the first car in consumer reports history that received a ". Better-than-average" in its first two years but by the time they received its third year of ownership surveys it immediately dropped to " poor" which is the lowest rating. If it didn't break it rested into nothing. It was actually a Renault design and platform ( Renault 25). Renault is the same French frog company that bought and and has completely fucked up Nissan Infiniti. The two places you never want the French anywhere near is 1. Your nose and 2. ANYTHING mechanical or electrical!

[@Imp5011]

I had a French car. It was fine. But whatever makes you feel better, I suppose.

[@therealdaveycrocko8774]

@@Imp5011 will ask anyone who is stuck with a Modern Nissan out of warranty if they think it's fine or anyone who lost a shitload of money buying one of these disposable pieces of frog garbage. I drive a 2000 Camry with 454 thousand miles that I bought new October 99. Those have been trouble-free miles DTW so if you want to cope about your shity French car whatever makes you happy coping I suppose

LH chassis... universally hated by every cop who had to drive one. Junk transaxle, burnt valves, electrical problems, inadequate brakes that had rotors that liked to crack.
