1994 Dodge Shadow review from North America
"It's not my '92 Iroc Z Camaro... but close enough and more reliable!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
A/C went out. Previous owner had recharge done that 'destroyed' the system. $431 to fix (recharge, replace parts).
Engine light appeared to go AWOL; timing off due to clutch drawing more power, oxygen sensor AWOL.
Didn't get the 3.0 V6...
General comments?
For a 2.2l 4cyl... it flys, even will peel out (front wheel drive). Has no problem keeping up speed.
Bravo on the handling!
Excellent ABS braking system.
There is no better car for the cash, and you can't get more value out of it. It's a fun car to drive, with a feel that is seriously above its class in terms of power and control. I don't even worry about jumping on the freeway in Phoenix...
Factory paint is peeling on roof, but is that really worth counting down upon the car?
No center arm rest :(
