Thx for the review, I'm looking at an AWD model now, once I get my insurance quote if it's not insane I'll be buying it.

For anyone looking for info from what I've read the Dodge Stealth AWD turbo's are reliable, they hold onto their value and are quickly becoming collectible.

Understand holding onto value is remaining in the $10,000 range or above depending on condition, parts are apparently a little hard to find and if the AWD fails it will cost a fortune but they don't have a history of failing outside of heavily abused.

I have a 1995 Dodge Stealth RT Twin Turbo and I love it.

Just a heads up though, when doing the tune up, replace the tensioner pulley, and the bolt, even if the bolt looks fine. Mine broke and is in the shop needing a rebuild. It's better to spend a little bit more for a new bolt then $1500 for a rebuild.

As a mechanic I'm curious. What happened when the tensioner bolt broke that caused $1500 in damages??

General Comments:

I got this nice ride as a first car, but the looks aren't worth the trouble. as you can see above, this car has a lot of electrical problems, and kids at my high school thinks the car sux. I am trying to get a prelude or something else. don't get this car if you're not planning to work on it constantly and waste money. good turning, but aceleration is awful.

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? No

Good lord kid! The stealth rocks, and you want to replace it with a prelude??!??!?! The problems you mentioned are mostly previous owner faults. I have a '91 D.O.H.C. nothing too special about it (turbo-wise) and it still deserves a lot more credit than you give it. So next time you post a review on any car do research first, to see if your car's problems have happened to others of that same model.

I have a used 1994 base, best car I have ever owned. I agree, especially buying used cars, previous ownership and care have a LOT to do with it. Iwould not trade it for the world. I Have not found another car yet-including new ones that compare with looks and performance. The only drawback I find is headroom-being a little tall, but I knew that when I bought it, not that much of a big deal. After all these years, it still gets the attention and compliments more than any other car I have owned-I have owned quite a few high performance vehicles-this one is a keeper!

I have owned two Stealths so far. A '91 And '94 and looking to buy a '95 R/T. Stealths are a great car to own. I have never had any problems with Stealths. I love them!!
