1990 Dodge Daytona ES review from North America
"After 15 years still a handsome car and fun to drive... Lots of pep."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Transmission went out early on. Chrysler replaced it at no cost.
Air Conditioner needed replacing after about 80,000 miles.
Driver's side door needs fixed. Hard to open.
Had to replace thermostat.
Had to replace alternator.
At 87,000 miles I'm replacing the timing belt and water pump. (Preventative.)
Hatchback had to be replaced early on. It hit me on the head. Is getting bad again.
General comments?
Inside like new.
Runs as good as it did when I bought it off the show room floor.
Dependable when cared for.
Fun to drive.
Can be hard to get in and out of if you have a physical limitation or injury.
Seats may be too low for very short people.
Hatchback is not dependable and could be dangerous.
