If you're trying to teach a young child about shapes, a good example of a rectangle would be the Dodge Dynasty. From its sharply angled exterior to its rectangular housings for interior gauges, this Dynasty truly defines boxy. Not flashy, not gorgeous, it is a practical family car with kick and good fuel economy.

There were few changes to the 1991 Dodge Dynasty. Though it was conservative-looking, and had a plain interior with few luxury options, both base and LE models, when equipped with either the 3.0, 141-hp V6 or the 3.3, 147-hp V6 (only available with LE), were surprisingly peppy. Its quick acceleration makes it first off the line at stoplights and a nimble passer on highways. Billed as a six-passenger car, it comfortably seats four, and boasts a spacious front row with supportive seats and generous rear seating. The trunk could hold the kitchen sink.

The 1991 Dynasty's pickup and interior room are highlights for drivers. Top complaints focus on the plain, "granny car" exterior, transmission problems, and the chance of computer failures.
