1994 Plymouth Sundance 4 Dr Duster Hatchback
Review
My Duster now has 120,000 miles and still runs strong. The V6 is pretty quick. Interior is nice with woodgrain dash. Replaced the transmission at 85,000, but besides that no major problems. Very reliable and gets great gas mileage.
Favorite Features
V6 engine, keyless entry, reliability.
Suggested Improvements
Not much room for a 4 door, paint tends to chip.

Review
I bought my 2.2 liter 4-door hatchback from a rental car agency in 1995 with 35k on the odometer. Plain Jane and reliable as the day is long. I now have 162K miles on it with no major mechanical problems. It refuses to quit. Paint is peeling and hubcap fell off when I got new tires, but mechanically this thing always starts and always gets me to my destination. I'm 6'4" 220 lbs and I fit very comfortably in it, which is one reason I bought it. I love it and I hope to get at least 200K miles out of it. Handles great in the snow and gets about 26 mpg on the highway, not bad for an old beast.
Favorite Features
Comfortable and roomy for big guys. Engine is piece of cake to work on. Oil change is a breeze. Doesn't quit. No one wants to steal it or break into it. Durable and handles pretty well. Absolutely a great, reliable car.
Suggested Improvements
More power.

Review
I bought this car with 8,000 miles on it back in 1995. Had it until fall 2003 when the head gasket failed and the head got cracked. Had 120,000 miles on it at the time. Not worth the 700-1000 to fix it. Replaced the automatic transmission (a common complaint witht the 94 Duster) at 30,000 miles, replaced the rack and pinion system at 40,000 miles, air conditioner failed at around 70,000 miles. Despite all the repairs it was always a fun little car to drive, great cornering, and great power with the V-6.

Review
Got this car at around 33k miles, now it's at 109k. No way I'd trade it in if I got a new car, I wouldn't get what it's worth & it's fun to drive. Aside from the whirring transmision about all Dodge's from the mid-90s have there's been nothing odd abou tit, maintenance has all been what one would expect for a 10 year old vehicle (minor brake work, new suspension, replaced tires, etc.). My only regret is that Dodge went hybrid with Mitsubishi so there's no performance upgrades from either company, the V-6 one I've got with Mopar/specialized aftermarket upgrades like the Neon gets now would've torn up some pavement.
Favorite Features
Great cornering & acceleration for an economy car, wide stance, looks good. Bucket seats are comfortable for raod trips (6'2" here, still fit well).
Suggested Improvements
Going all Mopar would've been excellent, instead of Plymouth tranny & Mitsubishi engine that Plymouth tinkered with. It also probably would've gotten rid of the tranny whirr mid-90s Chrysler cars & minivans have when downshifting.
Great Little Car!

Review
Bought this little car for cheap, no car payment transportation, only had minor problems that were age appropriate. I've bought a battery, tires, and had the radiator flushed professionally. Its a great little car, and exceeded my expectations. Car gets 27-30 mpg, has an attractive body style and has been very reliable. Its cheap to drive, to insure and the tax/lic. when due are extremely reasonable. I've had the car 2.5 years, now has 120,000 miles, still performing above my expectations!
Favorite Features
Front wheel drive is exceptional in the snowy conditions. I like the 4 doors and the hatch back trunk.
Suggested Improvements
With mine, I'd like a better sound system. Power goodies would be nice... but I was looking for a cheap decent economical mode of transportation. This little car has certainly earned my respect!

Review
It probably was a good vehicle at the time. I have owned numerous Plymouth vehicles before and none ran this badly. The head was cracked in 4 places then the catalyc converter went kapoot. Maybe it was where I bought it from. Although it started everyday this winter.
