Description

This car is dynamite on wheels. Chrysler's marriage with Mitsubishi has produced some nice-looking offspring. The Laser is a product of the Chrysler-Mitsubishi joint venture If you're an experienced driver who knows how to extract the most performance from a car, you'll love the Laser. If you're an inexperienced driver who wants to twist through curves aggressively and almost effortlessly, you'll love the Laser, too. It is one of the best-handling sports coupes available for less than $20,000. The suspension is firm. There is little or no body roll in tight, fast maneuvers, and he Laser is amazingly forgiving if you overdo it in spirited driving A pair of comfortable and supportive cloth-covered bucket seats hold occupants firmly in place. There is plenty of foot, leg and head room. The cockpit features a full set of analog instruments, a tilt steering wheel, cruise control, power windows and door locks, rear windshield wiper-washer and numerous other accessories.16-valve, 2.0-liter, fuel-injected four-cylinder cranks out 195 horsepower. That gives the car stellar performance. Several enthusiast magazines have tested the Laser and have clocked acceleration from zero to 60 mph in 6.9 seconds or less. That's fast - brutally fast. Power is, for the most part, smooth and consistent all the way to about 6,500 rpm
