1993 Dodge Shadow review from North America
"All-in-all, a good car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Transmission needed repairs.
Radiator needed repairs.
Air conditioner hasn't worked since I got the car.
The heat takes twenty minutes to a half an hour to become even lukewarm.
In heavy rain, there would be a small puddle on the driver's side and passenger's side floor, it looked like the glove compartment was leaking!
General comments?
Overall, this was a great car.
It withstood four accidents! The first one, I was rear-ended on the highway offramp with no real damage. The second time, I was not paying attention and backed into my brother's car with no damage. The third time, someone backed into the front of my car, quite fast, and my car received it's first battle wounds. We had to replace the hood, front bumper and grate. No internal damage. The last accident was a head-on collision and the car was totalled, but the air bag did go off!
Overall, I'd say this is a good car.
