1994 Dodge Spirit ES review from North America

When it was first purchased, it needed a tune-up badly.

Paint was peeling on roof and hood.

Transmission was replaced.

I LOVE MY "SPIRIT!" This car has been great to me through all the miles, abuse, and labor its gotten me through! I did have to have the transmission replaced (wouldn't leave first gear) but other than that its been a beast!

My dodge feels way more tighter on the road than my previous 1997 Camry. It has a very sporty suspension, but is not too firm for bumps in the road. I did have the stock rear shocks replaced with Gabriel Red Ryder shocks, which are heavy duty and gave the car a more firmer ride to match the front. One thing my car came with that's factory that makes it stand out from the rest of the Spirits/Acclaims are the 15 inch white "crosshatch" rims that were special ordered. (not the R/T rims, but the same ones used on the 1989 Chrysler Le Baron convertibles) I love these rims on this car and I'm always getting comments about them!!

The engine is the 3.0 V6 Mitsubishi designed engine. I love the torque and power in this car with this engine. Passing is a breeze and racing is fun haha. My only complaint is the cloud of blue smoke when leaving a red light or extended idles!! I've used synthetic oil and it still started smoking, but no power loss.

The paint was horrible so I had the car sanded and repainted white with gold accents to match up with the Gold Package it came with originally. That plus the factory side skirts and foglights make this car look really good!

The interior is very roomy. I only wish that I had the center floor console shifter and power windows.

This car is awesome and aging greatly.. I plan on keeping it until it won't go anymore!
