1992 Dodge Shadow review from North America
"Good, but an expensive car for fuel"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My head blew at 80,000Km.
Oil leaking from the valve cover gasket.
Oxygen sensor failed every year.
Bad gas mileage (about 350 km per tank in city).
Paint peeling.
General comments?
Even my little troubles I had with the car, it's running fine and drives me from the point A to B. The body is A-1 and the motor does not seems to burn oil.
My valve cover gasket is always leaking, but I won't pay 150$ for a cover (that was the price I had from Chrysler). The only big problem is my bad gas mileage!
