Motor has plenty of power.

Handles great.

Faults:

The first thing that happened is I found out that I have a really bad oil leak.

The oil comes out just as fast I put it in.

One day while I was sitting in my house, the tire blew by itself. Acouple of days ago I found a gas leak in one of the gas lines.

About a month ago, me and my brother were driving on a country rode and I was driving to fast so I loss control of it and went into a ditch and poked a whole into the exhaust. So now it's really loud.

I can't find anyone that will paint it because of the door jams.

If it gets painted the interior door panels would have to be taken off.

General Comments:

I love the acceleration on it.

The steering awesome.

The gas mileage is better than I expected it to be.

It's very comfortable.

I don't like the color of the interior though (grey).

I've decided to redo everything (Interior, exterior, and engine).

It's really hard to find custom fit accesories for it (Ground effects, exhaust, spoiler etc..)

Other than that it's very reliable and I don't think I'll be getting rid of it soon. If the engine seizes I plan to put a much bigger engine in it and take it to shows.

Faults:

There were three quarter-sized paint chips on the roof when I first bought the car.

Gas mileage can be a bit better.

I'm 16 years old and I purchased my 1993 Sundance Duster back in January as my first car. I practiced driving with my car until March when I got my driver's permit. I have to say that I don't think I could have gotten a better car for my money. It was originally $1,900 but the dealer accepted $1,000 for it because of the three paint chips and because he had the car there for several months. I absolutely love my car!!!

I was going to buy a 1999 Plymouth Neon Expresso instead for $3,000 but chose the Duster after reading the reviews on this web site about it, so my best friend purchased the Neon and he's had problems with it beginning the same week he owned it.

I would never, ever trade my car in for anything. My mom was even a little skeptical about my car and the mileage on it, but now she drives it more than her 2002 Silverado! The 3.0 V6 has a lot of power and I can't wait to see how it performs with my friend's '93 5.0 Mustang.

Faults:

The paint is peeling off all over the top and deck lids. The only problem I have had was soon after purchase, it developed an air leak in the left door, but was repaired under warranty.

I have followed the service procedures per the owners manual, and have had no mechanical problems what so ever.

The valve cover was leaking oil, but was corrected using a real gasket instead of silicone gasket from a tube.

General Comments:

This was my first new car and it does what it's suppose to, gets me from point A to B.

The handling was OK for it's day, but nothing special compared to todays standards.

The performance is creepy off the line and the engine vibrates horribly when pushed hard.

The brakes are excellent, the front has been replaced one time and the rear is original.
