1993 Dodge Stealth RT review from North America
"A terrific, fun ride on the pricey-upkeep side"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Transmission rebuild at 94,000.
Seats wore badly after 60K. Invest in covers!
Burns oil moderately - past 100K - as expected.
Power window motors and regulators gave out. An expensive fix.
Stock stereo gave out early on. Speakers, antenna, and CD changer.
General comments?
This is a very smooth and comfortable ride for a sports car, equal too many luxury models! Great suspension design.
She can be a little temperamental, like most sports cars, and is not the car for you if you're on a budget since the upkeep can come as a shock to some.
If this is a concern, go for the starter ES model with less options.
Most of the problems I've had with this car are to be expected in a higher mileage vehicle, such as replacing the timing belt, fuel injectors, and power accessories. If you keep up with the maintenance, she will treat you well.
