Harsh down shift and stalls at lights after coming off of high-speed (70 MPH) highway running. Problem disappeared once winter set in.
Tends to burn oil in its old age.
Previous owner had the transmission replaced.
Poor acceleration.
Then car is super reliable, looks good for its age, and is pretty good on gas. I can go for five hours or a little more than 330 miles on one tank of gas.
It does no accelerate well, but the extra-wide stance helps the way the car handles.
The cabin is pretty comfortable, but a bit on the small side for a tall guy like me. The plastic trim "sporty" panels help preserve the bottoms of the body panels from salt destruction.
I've only had to perform routine maintainance on the car - oil changes, one brake job, new tires, and a new exhaust pipe. An excellent long-distance car!
My 2.2L Shadow has a fuel-flow problem that also corrected itself in the winter. I hope it doesn't return come May.
I was able to reduce my oil consumption by using Valvoline MaxLife motor oil. It might sound like hype, but it works.
