1987 Dodge Daytona Pacifica review from North America
"Well worth the hunt"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Bent fly wheel upon purchase.
Break in the brake lines after a few months.
Bald front tires were replaced.
No pressure in the hatchback hydraulic lifters. The hatchback is very heavy to lift.
Shocks went out and required replacing.
General comments?
I love this car!
I spent several months searching for an affordable Dodge Daytona. Finally, after three months searching I found this gem for $900. It was well worth the hunt.
Despite its problems, the car is very reliable in general. It has never broken down or had trouble starting. It always gets me through long road trips.
The general condition of the car is remarkably good. The body has no rust at all except for a little spot on the hood. The interior is likewise in great shape. The car looks and feels so clean. It's something easy to be proud of.
The interior is very comfortable. The electric powered driver's seat features many functions.
The engine is pretty powerful for a four cylinder turbo. It's more powerful than my old LeBaron. A fast car with a lot of power can be very useful. Performance is definitely a plus here.
