1993 Dodge Shadow 4dr Hatchback
Excellent car, nearly 200,000 kms on it and still going... Very comfortable and fun to drive, most reliable car, can sit for 2 weeks at below zero temp and still have no trouble starting. Not many repairs needed over the years. Love this car and will miss it when it's gone some day. Doesn't seem like that will happen any time soon tho!

Still Going

1992 Dodge Shadow Highline 4dr Hatchback
We still own our 92. I wrote a couple of reviews on this car in 2008 and 2010. It now has 92,000 miles on it and still runs great. The 2.5 engine has been as reliable as the old SlantSix Chrysler sold for years. This car still looks new and I’m surprised the interior has held up so well. When I get gas, people come over and want to look at the car because you just don’t see them anymore, … some want to buy it. It’s not for sale.
Update: the car continues to perform well. It starts, and runs fine. The paint still shines and the interior looks like new. Update: not much new to report. The car still keeps going. 92,000 miles. Starts every day, doesn’t burn oil, gets decent mileage. Cars been worth every penny we paid for it. Update: Had a head gasket failure at 95,000 miles. Researching the internet, I see that can be an issue around 100,000 miles. Being we bought this car new, for my wife’s Mother, and she loved it, it has become part of the family. We knew we had to fix it. Refurbished the head, new head gasket, new timing belt, full tune up, new belts, new water pump, thermostat, and all filters. $1750, but worth it. Car runs like new again. Paint and interior still looks like new. It should run for a long time now.

Good Small Car

1992 Dodge Shadow Highline 4dr Hatchback
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.

Way fun to drive

1992 Dodge Shadow ES 2dr Convertible
3.0L V6 that will spin the 205's and still get 25MPG. It's just a fun little car and
cheap to maintain. I've not had any major problems, just the little things that happen
to a 10year old 128000 mile car. I Solo II race it for fun. At the point where you
can find them in junk yards so parts are not too costly.
We have a limited number of reviews for the 1993 Dodge Shadow, so we've included reviews for other years of the Shadow since its last redesign.
