1992 Dodge Shadow America review from North America
"Great for the mechanically gifted"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Transmission slips when you accelerate rapidly.
Overheated for no apparent reason.
Oil pressure light would come on after driving on the highway.
Front right turn signal never works.
General comments?
I would not recommend this car to anyone except a very smart, patient and rich mechanic. The car may seem sporty, but in the end you'll be dealing with more than you bargained for.
The interior is uncomfortable and doesn't give much space to the big and tall people.
