  Good life - 1993 Dodge Shadow
  By bzieba - April 10 - 12:10 pm

  This was the first of three we bought, and the last to go. Its on its last leg, but its been a good car. For a 13 year old car and 155m plus miles later can`t complain too much. Its on its second tranny, the cooling system gave us a bit of trouble, the hardware is falling apart, the body is fair, minimal rust, paint held up very well, three accidents and still drives straight as an arrow. Mileage is fair, overall performance is down, but, I think these cars were made to "drive till they drop". Don`t see many of these on the road anymore. Nice while it lasted, but, time for the recycle yard.

  My Shadow Caries Me. - 1994 Dodge Shadow
  By Carl French - March 29 - 8:25 pm

  I have enjoyed my Shadow and have found it to be very reliable and economical. I travel a lot of highway miles and it has never let me down when I needed it. It even survived a break enter and theft by a young car thief.

  Best used car I have ever bought - 1992 Dodge Shadow
  By Spendaddy - December 23 - 6:49 pm

  Bought this car in Vegas with 85,000 miles in Jan of 2004. Drove 2700 miles in 3 days to Florida and not one problem. Car has 102,000 and I cant beleive that every option still works! Just change oil and repack bearings regularly and you will be fine. Paint is not the best, but who cares its 14 years old!! Best used car I ever bought for $1000!

  Good while it lasted - 1993 Dodge Shadow
  By bzieba - September 12 - 4:23 pm

  3rd shadow we have owned. nice car but watch out after you hit 100m plus miles, start your euology. These are what we call "throw away cars", after 10-12 years throw em in the junk yard. They will start to fall apart. Mechanically, body and hardware. Actually one is still going pretty good with 135m miles on it, the other two are done. Transmissions seem to be first, then cooling systems go haywire, and the usual minor repairs but will nickel and dime you . Gas mileage is allright, nothing to shout about though, ride is well, a ride in a small car, what do you expect. A pretty basic car, good for the high schooler or college transportation, not a family car though.

  I love this vehicle because you get over 300 miles on a full tank. It handles great.

  Very inexpensive to own - 1992 Dodge Shadow
  By Bnad - September 21 - 2:00 am

  I paid about $8,500 for this car in 1993. Im very happy with the repair record until just the last year, the car just has never needed repairs. The car is a V6 with plenty of power and Ive never had a major problem with it. The body metal has lasted very well the clutch has nearly 100,000 miles on it. The biggest problem right now is a squeak from the sway bar bushings, which the mechanic has convinced me is harmless. This is really the requiem for my car as the paint is faded, the clutch has started to slip, and I dont think its worth it to replace it. But this has been a very cheap car to own, and great performance for the money.

  It has been a great car for me. I have owned it for over a year now and not once has it broken down on me, nor have I had any machanical problems with it. Its a great for a first car. Great on gas I only spend about $20 a month on gas actually.
