1989 Dodge Shadow CSX review from North America
"Extremely fun car you can't help, but love despite the obvious 80's build quality problems"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Tons of odd small things, from the pull ring on the stick shift to internal parts on the roll up windows. The steering rack, catlaytic converter, oxygen sensor and regular maint. items. The A/C compressor numerous times (is not working now and have to just decided to do without).
General comments?
Despite all the repairs the car has proven to be extremely reliable, never stranding me any where.
Drove it from Texas to NJ with no problems recently.
This is a true Shelby product and has great perfomance. It is not as fast as todays pocket rockets, but will suprise a lot of them at a stop light.
