1990 Dodge Daytona C/S Turbo review from North America
"Best car ever built"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Major problem - original rear disc brakes. Laminated pads freeze to rotor in winter then crack off backing plate. Fixed with NAPA replacement pads.
Lost fuel level sensor early.
Outside door handle problems - replaced.
General comments?
Perfect paint (Flash Red) and turbo engine.
Started showing car in shows in 2003. Won some awards.
Driven every day for 15 years.
A/C kept its original charge.
It seems to get faster every year. 0-60 in 7+ seconds, 33MPG highway.
Drives better, starts better and more fun to drive than my 2003 Alero V6.
