1990 Dodge Daytona Base review from North America

The rear window leaked badly. Ruined all the carpet in the trunk. Had to take the carpet out so that it wouldn't mold. Tried, but couldn't fix this.

Doors were heavy (I like heavy, but they were a little too heavy, would cut a finger right off if slammed on).

The rack went twice.

2.2 was one tough motor, great fuel economy.

Dealer didn't really do much, even though it was new (even with a relative as an employee, nothing was done). I have since had better dealer experience though.

Great handling car. Was smooth and cornered well.

Was very good in snow (front wheel drive and a good weight balance were the causes. Good tires helped too)

Looked pretty cool back in the day. Pop-up head lights were a slick feature (although some stopped working with age. Most cool things break as they get older... its understandable). Had the only bright red one (with an orange stripe) around, turned a lot of heads. They were dated in terms of design, and didn't take long to go out of style, but were cool while they were in.

Felt bad when they stopped making them, thought they could have gone for at least a couple of years longer.
