1993 Dodge Shadow 4 door sedan review from North America
"A great first car, would recommend this to anyone!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Very little has gone wrong with this car in the one and a half years I've owned it.
I've put about 32,000 kilometres on the car in that one and a half years I haven't had to put too much money into it.
I've had to replace the muffler, but that was my own fault. I back into a snow bank that was a mix of snow and ice.
I had to replace a ball joint a year after I bought it.
It'll be going to the garage next week to get a bushing in the front driver's side shock replaced.
Other than that the only money I've put in it is for regular oil changes.
General comments?
This has been a great first car for me and I would recommend it to anyone that is interested in buying a cheaper car on the market.
When you do need parts for it, they're very cheap to obtain. Every garage carries Dodge parts!!
I drive this car hard. It's driven as if it's a race car and it hasn't let me down once.
It's a shame this car was replaced with the Dodge Neon. Dodge had a truly great car and they threw it away!!
I treat this car as if it's my baby, I challenge anyone to find an inch of rust on the body.
It looks GREAT for a 93 car. It's clean inside and out. Looks the same as the day I bought it.
