1994 Dodge Shadow review from North America
"Chrysler made a good car!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
-Head gasket blown at 173 000.
-one engine mount when I bought it.
-Other things are maintenance.
-No rust at all!!! These small Chrysler have good bodies. Québec winters didn't make it rust at all, except the muffler's end. It's been always treated with anti-rust.
General comments?
-It is a good comfortable car
-It has slow acceleration
-The interior is still in like-new condition
-Parts are inexpensive and this car seems to be very easy to fix due to simple mechanic
-The only disappointment is the head gasket that blew, which is a common problem with the 2.2L engines
-Mechanics are always impressed with how clean is my car, hard to know that it's 11 years old!!! The dark-green paint of this car easily gets dirty, but when I clean the car, it looks like new! On the top of the windshield, you can see that very little rust is starting under the paint, but it's very minor.
