Add your own review or comments

Summary

Plymouth is particularly proud of its new Plymouth Place" displays in shopping malls. These displays make it easy for the consumer to closely inspect the Breeze and other Plymouth models as well as personalize their choice on the interactive computer that is part of the display. That way the consumer can focus on the test drive and financial transaction when visiting the dealership.

Plymouth has packed a lot of creature features into a spacious and competent car for a very reasonable dollar. Purchasers needn't be overly hesitiant to shop or buy the Breeze even though it is a brand new car. Chrysler/Plymouth engineers were able to apply experiences from predecessors Neon, Stratus and Cirrus to the benefit of Breeze design and construction.

If economical in purchase and operation in a package that offers more useable passenger and storage space than many competitors is important; the Breeze is clearly worth taking for a test drive."
