1993 Dodge Shadow review from North America

"20 years from now it'll still be running..."

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Transmission replaced.

E Brakes been fixed 4 times.

Headlights have been replaced.

Passengers side window pulled out of track, fixed twice.

Driver's side windows pulled out of track 5 times, once 5 minutes after I picked it up from the mechanic.

The vents stuck open, gets a little warm in the summer no a/c.

The car shakes when idle or stopped.

The windshield fluid dispenser thingys on the wipers don't work very well, except for getting nearby pedestrians or other vehicles with all the fluid.

The clutch is going.

Lots of plastic parts on the inside are broken.

Window crank fell off.

Somehow it flooded on the inside of the car.

Window seals.

Oil plug stripped.

Hood gets stuck down.

Back hatch doesn't stay up. Been hit on the head numerous times by it.

Hood latch won't let you open the hood, have to have pop bottle or another person just to get it open.

Rearview mirror fell off.

Bumper fell off, twice.

Grinds in reverse.

Burns through oil.

Paint and clear coat chip off...when it rains it's like I own a lizard. It sheds.

The fiber glass grille broke.

General comments?

This cars been through 3 teenagers learning to drive stick on it, and based on how I treated it I'm surprised it still runs.

Great on gas, approx. 35 miles to a gallon, unless you go like 95ish then it drops to 25.

It may be kinda old, but I trust it more than some of the new cars on the market. It's hit 3 deer and still is in one piece.

It seems to like off-road driving better than being on the road. Convinced it thinks it's a Jeep.
