2004 Dodge SX 2.0 review from North America
"Good gas mileage not worth the engine trouble"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rough idling and stalling or car wouldn't start.
Spark plugs and plug wires replaced at 5000 kms (1st oil change)
Plug wires replaced again at 10000 kms (2nd oil change)
Computer was re-programmed in response to my complaints and a Technical Service Bulletin from the dealer.
General comments?
Interior is OK.
Controls are within reach of driver and gages easy to read.
Headlights are nice and bright.
Handling is good even with standard 14" tires.
The standard shifter has a long throw and you really have to get the movements right on the tree, especially going into 3rd.
