Turbo fun!
Sean V , 05/31/2002
1990 Dodge Shadow ES Turbo 4dr Hatchback
I bought this car for $1000 canadian,
it was in very good condition, all i
had to do was some exhaust work.
Since has been working very well. I
was very surprised by the amount of
horsepower (150) out of the 2.5 litre,
4 cylinder engine... especially the
fact that it is now 12 years old, and
has 197000k's. At least my first car
was a decent one.

1990 Dodge Shadow 4dr Hatchback
I have had this car for twelve years,
since i bought it new. For the last
several years it has been at my weekend
home and is used only for local
driving. Despite long periods of
idlness, the car starts up and drives
without trouble, maintenance is low. It
is dependable transportation, and fun
to drive.

1990 Dodge Shadow 4dr Hatchback
Bought car with 64,000 miles for $2,700 and drove it to 240,000 miles before it died. I only wish I could find another work car like this.

Me and My Shadow

1990 Dodge Shadow ES 4dr Hatchback
I love my car. I am the only owner and
the only problem I have had was the
fuel pump went out. Shame they don't
make them anymore.
