1989 Chrysler Shadow Base review from Mexico
"A very fun car to drive with very good performance on curves"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The engine head blew due to a broken valve.
The shifter got stock in "Parking" and now I have to leave it in "Neutral" and with the hand-brake.
The speedometer does not work anymore.
The front suspension broke, and the car "shook" at 60 KMH due to bad driving.
Since new the rear right door did not work properly, and now it is blocked.
General comments?
This was my mother's car, and now I use it every day.
This is a great car, I even like it more than my Mustang.
This is a car you can enjoy driving, because it is very friendly.
The only thing I miss is a 4th gear, because the engine really needs it at high speeds.
