1991 Dodge Stealth 2 Dr STD Hatchback
Review
I love this care to death. trust me. but for it being a 1991 the reliability isn't too good. I have a lot of electronic problems. It's a fast car and it's easy to modify. But it has a lot of electronic parties.
Favorite Features
3.0 v6 and the slick body.
Suggested Improvements
Plastic regulator parts need to go and it needs a more powerful alternator.

1991 Dodge Stealth 2 Dr R/T Hatchback
Review
I've had my 1991 non-turbo R/T for about 3 years. It is the best car I have ever driven! It is great in the corners, comfortable for long trips, and has decent performance (wish I had a TT though!!). I have been rear ended twice in this car, once very seriously (other guy totaled, I have permanent back injuries), and all it needed was minor repairs - it is built like a tank! I have had minor maintenance done, timing belt, water pump, heater hoses, all things that should be done on routine maintenance anyways. The guy before me wore down the clutch a lot so I needed a new one of those too. Anyways, I absolutely love this car, and hate to have to give it up for something more practical.
Favorite Features
Everything was way ahead of its time - climate control display, power seats, ride stiffness selectability, steering wheel controls for cruise and radio. Styling is great, interior and exterior. Ample power, but it is no TT.
Suggested Improvements
AWD for all models! Better gas mileage (17-24 for me), wheels are ugly, transmission grinds when going into 2nd on a cold day, strange looking rear spoiler (although this has grown on me). The car is heavy, and you will feel this on acceleration, but unnoticeable on corners.

1991 Dodge Stealth 2 Dr R/T Hatchback
Review
I have had my baby since July, 1991 and it is still so exciting and reliable to drive, I am hard pressed to get a new car!! I know that it is time since my mileage is 212289, but I there arent any cars that are as sharp, reliable and unique, and let's not forget reasonable as the Stealths were when they first came out! My car has had a rebuilt transmission, cv-joints replaced, a few other repairs, and my air-conditioner and radio doesn't work (well sometimes the radio works) but I can always start it on a dime and pass people with ease! One of the best decisions Dodge and I ever made!
Favorite Features
The sound of the engine (rrrrunnnnnnn)! The fact that it looks like the Mach 5 (from Speed Racer Days), and the reliability after 12 years! I AM NOT trading my car when I buy a new one. I will keep it until the doors fall off!
Suggested Improvements
Make more before I buy a mercedes or volvo or something stodgy like that! These cars may have quality but very few cars have the design and flair as the Dodge Stealth for the price!

1991 Dodge Stealth 2 Dr STD Hatchback
Review
Bought this car from Kuni Lexus in Colorado in August 1995 with 60,000 mi. Absolutely wonderful car to drive until 100,000 mi. Exhaust started smoking, wouldn't pass emissions. Needed new engine. Paid over $3,000 for rebuild, lasted 2 yrs before it started smoking again. Had electrical problems when a short occured in the wiring bundle. The car would shut off in the middle of the road. Car lasted until 151,000 miles.
Favorite Features
The handling was superb. Loved driving the car before the problems started.
Suggested Improvements
Don't buy one with high miles. Dealers say engine reliablity goes at 100k. Improve engine reliability. Donated car to American Cancer Society, figured it smoked so badly that it needed a new home!

1991 Dodge Stealth 2 Dr R/T Hatchback
Review
The car is great. I have had a few problems with it to be honest. The entire front end fell apart on me. I had to replance control arms trailing links ball joints cv shafts and tie rod ends all in one project. I went to the dealer and the cost of all of this was over the cost of the car. I ended up devoting two weeks of my time and $900 + in parts for the stealth. It handles great now. I also have a few porblems with the transmission. The second gear syncro is horrible. afWhen cold the thrani grinds into second even after double clutching to stop the motion of the intermediate shaft. It is an expensive repair.
Favorite Features
Electronic Control Suspension makes handeling great. Variable geometry intake manifold. Stereo pretty good too!
Suggested Improvements
Transmission!!!!!

1991 Dodge Stealth 2 Dr R/T Hatchback
Review
I bought mine in metallic blue with 40 K on the clock - I had to immediately replace the clutch - it's hydraulic and the previous owner rode the clutch at the lights and wore it out. The new clutch is still going strong at 120K miles. Exceptional handling and looks - get compliments everywhere I go. Great seats and driving position - but low roof and poor rear three quarter visibility. Great engine - reasonable fuel economy. Service quite high due to labor - changing spark plugs for example. Tires expensive but wide give amazing grip. You can switch from comfort mode to sports mode. Very underrated, reliable, high performance sports car.
Favorite Features
Comfortable electrically adjustable seats. Styling. Handling. Performance.
Suggested Improvements
Rear three quarter view atrocious. Cup holders badly placed.

1991 Dodge Stealth 2 Dr R/T Turbo 4WD Hatchback
Review
The Stealth is an amazing machine. The first time I laid eyes on one I knew I had to have one. I soon bought a '91 R/T TT. Maybe it is the styling, maybe it is the twin turbocharged 3 liter V6, maybe it's the 9000rpm tach, but I love this car. 320 stock horses of muscle. This car, I feel is the best sports car for dollar that you can find, it is often overlooked and no one I have talked to knew what a Stealth was. It should be recognized widely! You have to have one to know exactly what I'm talking about, and if you do, I'm sure you would agree with me.
Favorite Features
AWD,AWS,Engine....too many to list

1991 Dodge Stealth 2 Dr ES Hatchback
Review
This car was my first car (of my own). I've driven several other cars within the same price range, and they can't compete with this car. It's very comfortable to drive, and very forgiving. All my friends say they can't beleive I got such a good car, then I tell them the price and they are shocked, becuase they spent more on thier car, yet they wish they could have mine.
Favorite Features
Great Design, lots of inteior space.
Suggested Improvements
NO Automatic Transmissions!

1991 Dodge Stealth 2 Dr R/T Turbo 4WD Hatchback
Review
If you love performance then this is the car, if in good shape and all service intervals have been taken care of. I own a 1991 Twin Turbo. It is probably the best handling car I have ever owned. I have owned many sports cars. The sound of the turbos is awesome. The car will fly! But these cars are expensvie to maintain also. Parts are priced high and usually simple things require a lot of labor at dealers or your local mechanic. Just follow the intervals to the "T" and you will ok. But this is an awesome machine and will get you in trouble!
Favorite Features
My favorite feature of the car would be the All Wheel Drive. The car launches good and sticks to the ground!
Suggested Improvements
Just reliability, that's it. But being a 1991 it will have problems.
