Faults:

Replaced the valve cover gasket in it after driving it for 60,000kms, nothing new there. The cruise must have had a phantom in it, because it would turn itself off once in a while, but no concerns just hit resume and she takes off again on set speed. *Thinking* other wise awesome little car!

General Comments:

After having that 2 door Shadow, I have recently bought a 4 door version with the 2.5L Turbo, 5 speed! Great little car, goes like a jack rabbit, almost think it handles better than my 2 door did! My latest Shadow is an ES model and with 178,000kms on her and everything still works in the electrical department, really impressed. Either Chrysler built it to last OR this car is a testament to the last owner. (either of which I am very thankful for) P.S. Was a one owner car!

Faults:

Since I've had the car:

Plug wire burnt out, due to previous owner thinking he was a mechanic.

Tires.

Ball-joints.

Headliner came down completely.

And some rattles and other various noises, which I hear is common.

General Comments:

This is a very quick and agile car, which surprises most people. You can easily reach 110 in 5th gear with half throttle. This car has been driven by everyone and beat daily. I am actually surprised it still runs. I bought it from a friend for 100 dollars. It's great to see the looks on peoples face when they are passed by a purple shadow. If you buy one of these cars, but a radar detector since they are very easy to speed with.

Faults:

I had to replace the water pump at 133,000 miles.

The radiator was also clogged beyond repair so I had to replace that at 133,000 miles.

The fuel pump went out on me and needed to be replaced at 142,000.

General Comments:

When I bought this car I took it to a very well-known, respectable mechanic and had the inspect everything before I bought it. He told me that there is a minor coolant leak in one of the hoses. That minor coolant leak turned out to be a broken water pump and clogged radiator, which both needed replacing.

Other than the fact that I spent more money on it in repairs than what I bought it for, I really liked it.

Only about 22 MPG, and a lot of them were freeway miles.

It was very roomy for such a small looking car. I am 6' 2" and I was comfortable.

My shadow was just totaled by a hit and run so I might be bitter about the fact that I put about $1,000 worth of work into it over a span of 9 months and then I can't even enjoy it.
