1990 Dodge Daytona Reviews - Page 3 of 5

The headlamps and tail lights did not work, a simple repair fixed that.

The parking brake doesn't work. No problem though, I just park in 1st.

It's a very sporty looking car that handles great, and the manual transmission will get you going in no time.

The car is made to appeal to young people and does not fail. Sporty looks, fun to drive - what more could you ask for at such a cheap price?

Timing Belt Broke at 118,000 miles (O.E)

Fuel pump gave out at 121,000 miles (O.E)

Head liner starting to sag.

One of the finest running cars I've ever owned.

Interior is extremely comfortable.

Average miles per gallon in the 28 to 29 miles on highway travel, 24 to 25 in city.

I bought it as a backup car, but has become my daily driver.

It is a terrific car, must to been made on a Wednesday...

I had to have my front and rear strut assemblies replaced.

I also replaced the lower ball joints on my front tires.

My Serpentine Belt was worn down badly. Replaced that.

The entire Belt Tensioner had to be replaced. It broke off when I loosened it to get to my Serp Belt...

My coolant hoses are going soft, but it's only because they haven't been changed since the car was made.

This is the first car I've owned and I have to say that I'm going to hang onto it as long as I can! I'm impressed with it on so many levels.

The car handles nice, and takes corners no problem.

This is also the MOST fuel efficient vehicle I've ever driven. Sames me much money on gasoline.

The cockpit is sweet looking. It's very appealing and all the functions are easily operated.

I can accelerate quickly, which is always a plus. The 3.0 Liter V6 it's carrying has a lot of untapped power in it. Very sweet.

One of the few bad things about it is that the tires for the Daytona are hard to find for some reason.

When I first purchased the car I boosted the turbo to 18 pounds, the stock turbo did not like that for too long.

The car pulls hard right to third gear.

However hooking up when the boost gets up is a problem.

I had to replace my engine. I just recently had to replace my flywheel.

I like this model, although it has no engine cooling system for when it overheats, but its comfortable. In my particular car, it doesn't accelerate quickly until it nears or passes 20 miles per hour. My transmission's messed up in a way that it searches for the gear when I make a right turn at a certain angle at a certain speed.

There's been no problems other than the tints on the car, which has a weird watery effect. This was due to the previous owner using Wind-ex on them not knowing that it contains ammonia. Luckily this is only the back windshield and, living in Connecticut, there's no tint restrictions on rear windshields.

I love this car and am very protective over it. It's my baby. It's generally not expensive to maintain, but buying the higher octane gas and keeping clean oil in it (for anyone who's had a turbocharged car, you'll know that when dirty oil is in the engine, it basically takes the life right out of it, and this could also blow your turbo).

Performance parts are nearly impossible to find, I have looked all over for them to no success.

The paint (the car is currently competition yellow with black pinstripes) is immaculate and shiny as the day it rolled off the showroom floor, and since the car's 12 years old, it's nice to see it's still a well kept car.

The car came with an all original 49k miles on it and I only spent $2200 for it, so I'd think I got a great deal on it.

These cars are fun on four wheels and with a lower insurance rate than eclipses and talons, it's nice to drive a comfortable 4 banger with attitude.

Anyone who's been offered a Dodge Daytona, get it, you won't regret it.
