The K-car that saved Chrysler—a front-drive compact that was a sales sensation. It was the car that brought Chrysler back from the brink, and it was everywhere. It’s a simple, reliable car that’s a piece of automotive history.
The Aries was a front-wheel-drive, unibody compact sedan, coupe, and wagon on the Chrysler K-platform. Engines: 2.2L I4 (84 hp), 2.5L I4 (100 hp), or 2.6L Mitsubishi 4-cylinder (99 hp). Transmissions: 4-speed manual, 5-speed manual, or 3-speed auto (A413). It had MacPherson strut front suspension and a torsion-beam rear axle.
The 2.2L and 2.5L four-cylinders are simple and reliable. The 2.6L Mitsubishi is a boat anchor—it’s slow and has timing chain issues. The A413 3-speed auto is reliable. The Aries is a cheap used car, but rust is an issue.
