1989 Dodge Daytona ES review from North America
"Great car, won't ever sell"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Right after purchased, had to replace CV joints and shaft and engine mounts; 700 dollar bill.
Ground effects cracked due to being hit into curbs.
Missing exterior trim piece fell off on the highway and broke.
General comments?
I just bought it, and I drove it 2000km home and it never gave me a single problem. Very quick car,
0-120 in around 8 seconds with lots of wheel spin. Not sure what boost is set at as I have not touched the boost adjuster. The boost adjuster was in the car when I got it.
Handles great.
Good gas mileage if you can resist the turbo LOL.
The seats are very comfortable on long trips.
