1983 DeLorean DMC-12 Reviews, Pricing & Specs
What owners say
"Owners of the 1983 DeLorean DMC-12 tend to love its unique look and fun driving experience. Many enjoy the powerful V6 engine and the distinctive sound it produces. However, there's a consensus that the build quality could be better, and some feel the performance is underwhelming compared to modern standards. Despite this, it remains a head-turner and a joy to drive."
The only reason that I elected a 3 out of 5 for performance is because the engine is famous for being underpowered. The way I look at it is that if you are dating a supermodel, do you care how fast she does the 100 meter dash??? The car is definitely a head turner, since it is well known from its role in Back to the Future. Its handling is amazing. Hugs the curves and sticks to the road like glue. The stainless steel skin in addition to the VARI fiberglass body and the steel, double-wishbone frame makes this one of the safest cars on the road. The fuel tank is wrapped within steel in the front wish-bone of the frame. The fun factor on this car is AMAZING. In my mind, there is no car funner to drive.
February 15, 2010I tottally love my 83 dmc delorean it is a legend and a beast on the road it trully is a amazing car.I wouldnt sell this car for all of king midas gold.And it is a joy to drive.And whoever doesnt like this car well to bad for them.
October 31, 2009The DeLorean is a rare car with a one-of-a-kind look. It is fitted with a 2.85 Litre V6 engine, built by Peuegot, Renult & Volvo. It's done 57,000 miles over it's 25 year lifespan. The cost of running one is normal for a sports car as it does 19mpg [mine is the only one to be converted to LPG.]. It's a great car to drive & it's guarenteed to draw a crowd.
