93 sundance 2.2 2 door hatchback

Being a 17 year old, I was looking for a car that would get me from home work and school, nothing fancy, so I saw this little blue beast on the side of the road. I picked it up for a couple hundred bucks and expected to have a little beater that would last a month or two. I later found out that its a pretty solid car, its pretty quick for a 2.2 and its pretty dent resistant. I was amazed at this little car and I wish I would have bought one sooner. Driving it as much as I did I learned it can park in any spot and can keep up with my friends' eclipse and grand prix.

Great First Car

I got this car in 2001, for my 17th birthday. It had 80,000 miles on it and ran me wonderfully for the next ten and a half years. I kept up with the maintenance and fluids and all that, which may have contributed to its lasting so long. It did have an almost bulimic hunger for motor oil, it went through it very quickly. Finally sold it in January of 2012, it had started demanding larger repairs and I decided to just upgrade cars. Good car, though. I always felt safe driving it, the pick up was surprisingly good, it was decent in the snow and it never once left me stranded.

This car takes you where you want to go. When I bought it (1993 @ 65K miles) I have always feared that this car would break down on long drives, but this car just goes on and on. I had to replace the water pump, changed the belts and pretty basic maintenance. It has pretty basic equipment, the stereo system is OK. I love this car.

Like the Energizer Bunny, this car just will not stop. I have had to rarely put mine in the shop for surprise repairs. The only major component that has been replaced is the compressor; but what do you expect living in Houston and those awfully hot summers. The gas mileage gets better as the car gets older. One trip from Texarkana to Houston I had the car fully loaded down, with the tail dragging I only used half a tank a gas. Mind you I was doing roughly 80 mph the entire time. This car is like a good wine, it gets better with age. I'll never get rid of mine.

My brother in law passed this car on to me after the dealership only offered him a couple hundred for it. Boy, he's now missing out! He went and bought a new Ford focus. I think I got the better deal. This car now has 160K on it and does noit look to stop. I have had to do repairs such as radiator and general maintenance but I did not expect to have this car long and I'm pleasantly surprised!

I bought it new when I was 16. The only problem I had was the transmission- during the end of the warranty (Chrysler replaced it for free) and the bearings. My car was stolen in 2003 and gave the occupants quite a ride as they led a high speed car chase around philly. It also held up well when they crashed it through a fence and playground. But being a '93, it was deamed "totaled". I miss it! :-(

I bought this car in 1996 and it's still running strong! I am very surprised at how dependable it's been. The A/C doesn't work (needs a new compressor) but besides that I've only had the usual maintenance costs. The car has great pickup too, more than my 1998 Saturn. This is a great go to work car.

Dusters are Great Cars

The Plymouth Sundance/Duster and Dodge Shadow are great cars. They cost much less than other cars in their class, and they have an available 3.0L V6. This engine packs a wallop. It is a very good, reliable engine. I have had no major problems with my Duster since I bought it. Also, I have not driven a car in this class that is more comfortable.

Had this car for 1 year so far for $3,700. Had 50,000 miles on it and not a problem to date. Car handles well, fun to drive, and very fast acceleration (No joke).

Return of the Duster

I bought this car about a year ago for $1500 and have been pleasantly surprised with it's economy and reliability. I had to replace the battery and front brakes along with oil changes and spark plugs, but have been happy with it's performance overall. It has a lot of nice features for a car it's size and is very comfortable and fun to drive. It runs like a top on the highway and is very easy to drive in th city.
