<review>Despite Plymouth's death, the Breeze is still gusting along.  The Breeze, a sibling of the Dodge Stratus and Chrysler Cirrus, was originally poised to lead Plymouth's revival as Chrysler's value brand by offering a stylish, roomy four-door sedan with a decent level of standard equipment for a low price.  But that marketing plan, and Breeze sales, are faltering.  The Breeze comes standard with air conditioning, tilt steering, six-speaker stereo, rear-window defroster, remote trunk release and a folding rear seat.  The short options list includes antilock brakes, power door locks and windows, power sunroof, and a choice of stereos.  A five-speed manual transmission is standard and a four-speed automatic is optional. </review>
