1992 Dodge Shadow ES review from North America
"A inexpensive reliable pocket rocket"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
No problems. Just regular maintenance. I am very diligent about pampering my 3.0 liter v6.
General comments?
The 3.0 liter v6 in the Dodge Shadow was made by Mitsubishi. It's a very reliable and powerful engine that can run a lifetime. But; remember to do the maintenance on it as the manual specifies. This engine is very picky about maintenance. I have done the regular maintenance stuff myself. The car is super reliable. No problems and very quick acceleration. A true sleeper car.
