1993 Dodge Shadow ES Convertible review from North America

The top is in really horrible shape. When it starts to go, it goes quickly.

Not as durable as I think a convertible top should be.

The drivers seat broke completely. Not really sure why and it did not give a fair warning. I was driving down the road and the back of it just fell back on the passenger seat.

The heat does not work at all.

We bought this car for $600. and cosmetically it was not taken very good care of.

However, this car is mechanically sound. We drove it to Virginia and did not have one problem with it.

The car is VERY fast. I had a 94' Mustang convertible with a V6 engine that was also a 5 speed and the Shadow has much more power than it.

It has excellent handling and suspension. Most cars I have seen once you get it past 65 mph the steering and the car itself starts vibrating, but not this. When we test drove it we had it at 80 mph in 3rd gear and didn't even realize it. Very smooth riding car and takes turns like Nascar.

I have not been dissatisfied with this vehicle and I think it is a real shame Dodge does not make them anymore. We have been very impressed with its performance, gas mileage, and overall reliability.
