Well the headlights don't go down. I had to have the motor rebuilt after owning it for a year, but well worth it!

Not all of the seat functions work, but the needed ones do. The ambient air doesn't work or even come on. I have had to replace a lot of sensors, parts (brakes, clutch while having the engine done). I also changed the rims and tires, much happier with the new ones!

The car runs and handles great! Great pick up, sometimes I'm going 90 before I even realize it!

After my Camry died, I wanted another Daytona and kept looking till I found one (which isn't easy) but well worth the search! I love the car and get compliments on it all the time. Even had someone leave a note asking if I wanted to sell it! No way!

General Comments:

I love it! Guess I already wore this section in the above area, oops.

But, yeah, great car and it's sooooo cute! It's my baby.

Faults:

Makes me want to race young guys in their little cars.

General Comments:

I didn't know this about myself - that I am a raving, tire-smoke filled/roaring cabin loving, G monster of a Baby Boomer...

Not until I got this car.

I am one of those "Used To Own A Daytona" kind of blokes. The kind with fond memories (or, are they fantasies) of wild spurts of adrenaline mixed with testosterone as I watch various Lexus, Hondas and other shapely Asian imports shrinking in my mirror. This happened many times, usually after an innocent taunt on the highway, which is where the Daytona shines brightest: 4k - 5k.

I loved to slide ahead at highway speeds and up. It roars, then.

It was a bright "Dodge Green", which is a taunt in itself. Which is why I sold this gem only after three weeks. It was going to get me in trouble, this was clear. Too hot! Too sporty.

This review is more of an epitaph.

- The Mitsu 3.0L is incredibly strong, but not off the line.

- Savage, but manageable.

- Low, flat, it loves corners... you will lose your seat before it loses traction.

- Sexy, but low key.

- Total reliability.

- Tons of room.

- Comfy + cockpit.

- Designed to go up against the 944, which it did quite well.

This beauty from the past is an intersection of the best that Detroit had to offer in those days. And, that is a lot.

I was lucky, I got the unit very cheap.

Knowing the potential of this car for me, I promptly traded it straight across for a 02 Durango. MUCH more like it, for my needs... and risk tolerance.

If you've got a line on one of these non-turbo scapegraces... grab it!

You'll never forget it.

Faults:

Goes through valve cover gaskets more than the average car. Typical of these cars.

Dodges are quirky with their instrument cluster. This is typical of any Dodge car. Smash the dash and things work.

Upgrade to heavy duty brake pads, and you will not go through them like toilet paper. Changed from OEM to Bendix, not one problem afterwards.

General Comments:

If you do your homework before you buy a car, it will not fail you.

It also helps if you have a great mechanic that has worked on it from day one that you have owned it. It's even better if your father in law is a Dodge mechanic.

Love the idea of the on-board diagnostic codes that even I can read!

Love my Dodges so much, that I bought a 93 Dynasty for my son. Now trying to get a 96 Jeep Cherokee to add to my Dodge lineup.

I had 4 GM motors cars to my one Dodge. Says a lot for them, doesn't it?
