The National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA) provides 3
different ratings -
full-width frontal crash test
,
side impact crash test
, and
rollover resistance
. The frontal crash test indicates how
well the safety features and restraints
will protect an occupant in a head-on
collision. The side-impact test conveys
the chance of a severe chest injury,
while the rollover resistance rating
estimates the risk of rolling over in a
single vehicle crash.

Summary:
|
By Professional Test Driver, NewCarTestDrive.com
It's a bit misleading to say you get what you pay for from the '94 Plymouth Acclaim: You actually get a lot more than people typically expect from a car in this price range. Its interior roominess is amazingly generous, and its performance has been long underrated. True, this car doesn't offer a wealth of contemporary features, and the Acclaim's boxy appearance won't excite the teenagers in your household. But you're the one paying the bills, right? Besides, if you buy this Acclaim, you may get the chance to drive your own car once in a while. |
|
Overview:
|
The squarish, utilitarian lines of the 1994 Plymouth Acclaim sedan may cause you to overlook this car in favor of the somewhat sexier, more aerodynamic lines of its competitors. What you'd be passing up is a roomy little sedan-and one of the best values in its category. Chrysler brought out this basic design several years ago with the objective of offering one of the roomiest, most feature-packed, lowest-priced midsize sedans on the market. It's an objective that the '94 Plymouth Acclaim continues to strive for in a highly admirable way. Our test vehicle sported a downright miserly-by today's measures, anyway-MSRP of just $14,154. And that amount bought us an AM/FM stereo, air conditioning, power steering, power brakes and a comparatively hefty 2.5-liter, four-cylinder engine. What's more, six people can sit comfortably in the Acclaim's surprisingly roomy interior, and the driver can expect adequate-to-good response from this car's power train at most city and highway speeds. That, in plain and simple terms, is what we uncovered in this plain and simple-but very practical-sedan.
