In the second cantica of the Divine Comedy written by Italian Poet !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , the author describes in great detail a trip through the seven terraces of Purgatory. Mid-way through the 5th Terrace the poem's hero finds himself surrounded by the souls of the covetous, folks who have sinned through embracing things in an unhealthy way.
Here in Purgatorio, owners of Porsches, BMWs, Alfas who have neglected their families and friends, are stuck in slushbox equipped Plymouth Reliants on freeway on-ramps. The on-ramps are equipped with traffic metering systems that seem to be functioning, but nobody ever merges onto the freeway. This is one of those rides. Find this !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! in impeccable shape offered for $1,499 in Woodland Hills, CA via craigslist.
!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!
The various circles of hell will be filled with things like the first generation Toyota Prius with dead batteries, a 2 cylinder VW Beetle with windows that don't roll down, and being stuck on the city bus...well..forever. But purgatory, it will be filled with perfectly clean, low mile examples of the most horrible vehicles and you will be forced to navigate LA traffic until your sins have been cleansed. It's gonna be a great time.
The Reliant was the first of the so called K-cars to be built by Chrysler and was followed soon after by the Dodge Aries and Chrysler Lebaron. This K is powered by a 2.2 liter inline-4 cylinder engine that puts out 94 horsepower and delivers 0-60 mph in a leisurely 13 seconds or so with the automatic transmission.
If you were planning on spending a few years in gridlock, a super clean Reliant really wouldn't be the most horrible place to do your time. At least it has nice comfy looking sofas.
If you find another clean nice looking K-car...please...keep it to yourself. !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!!

You know what? This would make a great 1st car for some teenager. I'll leave it up to you misfits to list why.

my grandmother wanted to give me my grandfather's Reliant for my first car after he passed away. It wasn't road worthy, so I used it for field bombing instead! It was a blast

There's some mid 1980s malaise era cars that are getting a little neat and funky. This isn't one of those cars. But for a miserable $1500 bucks it's going to make reasonable cheapo transportation for somebody.

If I was buying a car for a 16 year old boy....this car would be pretty high on the list. 94 horspowers is plenty for a 16 year old.
