1989 Dodge Shadow Basic review from North America
"A very good first car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The car has been good overall. I've never been stranded.
The A/C has not worked since I bought it. The A/C hose is blown. I've never fixed it.
The car leeks oil from the engine ican't find where its leeking from.
The car is a pleasure to work on very easy to fix most parts with little knowledge.
General comments?
Over all I can't cry about I got my money out of it and it is a good car I am trying not to trade it in, but I need some thing newer.
I have taken it off road in it has gone places a truck can't go.
The Car is a little slow on speed/power it is like 0-60 in 2 miles no joke.
Well worth the investment.
Parts are all around and cheap.
