1999 Plymouth Breeze 2.0L from North America
Summary:
Very good and reliable
Faults:
Most prevalent problem was with breaks. Had to change them a few times, but nothing drastic.
Emergency break is fond of wearing down. Have had to take it in to get it re tightened.
General Comments:
This car is good, won't let you down, and has pretty dang good pickup.
Only real problem I have is lack of instruments in cluster. I would like to have battery, oil pressure, and more detailed water temp then whats given.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

Actually, the Dodge Shadow featured Chrysler's 2.2L I4 engine or the 2.5L I4. Mitsubishi's 3.0L V6 was also available. Naturally aspirated, it puts out approximately between 93 and 99 horsepower. In various states of tune, turbocharged versions of this engine range up to 224 horsepower.
The Neon, Breeze, Stratus, and European PT Cruisers feature Chrysler's 2.0L I4 power-plant. Its output is 132 horsepower. The 2.0L shares its bore and bore centre design with the old 2.2/2.5L as well as certain similarities between block design, but the 2.0 and 2.4L four-cylinder engines are much more advanced. Still, the 2.0L (especially when teamed with the four speed automatic) is no match for the mass of a mid-size sedan.
Replacing these engines are the new 1.8/2.0/2.4L I4's developed by Hyundai, Chrysler, and Mitsubishi. They are even more advanced with variable valve timing, aluminum blocks, better efficiency, and more power.
