Chrysler’s hot-rod-inspired hatch was a cult hit in its early days. You can buy one for less than £1000 today, but was it any good?
A kerb weight of 1428kg left the Cruiser trailing rivals for acceleration, while a lofty torque peak and lack of high-rev refinement compounded the problem. But a top speed of 118mph and 30-70mph in 10.4sec were respectable and the gearshift was nippy. High grip, relatively flat cornering and accurate steering impressed, but the Cruiser’s ride wasn’t as forgiving as that of MPV rivals.
Cabin design continued the hot-rod theme, with a cue-ball gearknob and body-coloured dash panels, but fell down on ugly, crude switchgear. Space was good for four adults only, while the split rear bench folded, tumbled forward and could be removed altogether to extend the respectable boot.What happened next?
