  Good Small Car - 1992 Dodge Shadow
  By Glenn - August 4 - 9:24 am

  I had one of these I bought new in 1990 and put 100,000 trouble free miles on it. I bought a new one in 1992 for my mother-in-law and she drove it until she passed away. She loved it and it has sat the last few years as we just could not sell it. I started driving it again recently and it runs like the day we bought it. These were good cars for the money, this car has 77,000 miles on it without a single problem.

  Fun to drive, wish it was more reliable - 1992 Dodge Shadow
  By kickspro - January 21 - 1:20 pm

  Got the car in May of 09, loved it. Drove good for about a week then the engines belt started squeeking, very annoying. Got a new belt and it was gone, car is very underpowered with a 2.2 4 cylinder in it. Car got good gas millage at the start of my purchase and got worse as days went on. The tranny leaked alot of tran fluid and had to refill it every few months. Car overall was very stock and basic but was a enjoyable ride. Didnt want to risk the engine and tranny going so I sold the beast.

  Good Little Car - 1992 Dodge Shadow
  By materialman - October 29 - 1:05 pm

  We bought this car with 8000 miles on it in 1993 for my Mother-in-Law. She loved it and would not have traded it for a new Mercedes. She has passed away now and the car is in mint condition with 77,000 miles on it. We have never had a minutes trouble from it and it will never be sold.

  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!

  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.

  Dodge shadow 3.0 ES 2DR - 1992 Dodge Shadow
  By Mopar41 - July 7 - 2:00 am

  This car is one of the fastest stock dodge cars ever made. Its a great car to drive.With the 5spd, the car has much better acceleration than the auto.My car just happens to have a cold air intake and the turbos 5spd tranny. It makes better 1/4 mile times but top speed is somewhat slower. Who needs to go fast on the city streets anyway?...ME! With the nitro, the car has 223hp. making the 1/4 mile in 13.8 sec!!! Ive cut the car down 2.5in, in the front and 2.0in in the rear. I only did this to improove handling in high spd cornering.It has virtually no body roll at all. HAVE FUN!!!

  Dont buy this car - 1992 Dodge Shadow
  By braklvr - March 22 - 2:00 am

  I bought the car in August/2002. Three weeks into my purchase, the head gasket broke. Two months and $800 later, the cam shaft broke. $300 later, it broke again. I have a good mechanic who didnt charge me the 2nd time but he said it will break again because the engine isnt holding the cam shaft in place right.
