Very surprised by reliability
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.
My little powerhouse went out in style..
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! :-(
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.
WHAT A PIECE OF JUNK!
I HATE THIS CAR. It was the first car I ever owned (which I regret). My parents got it used in 2004 with 115,000 miles, and I have had nothing but trouble with it. The air conditioner doesn't work (a sin in super humid southern Illinois), the back left speaker is blown, the driver's side window doesn't roll down, the paint is literally peeling off, I have a rust hole clear through the front of the hood, and the passenger side door doesn't open from the inside unless you hit against it REALLY HARD -- my brother bruised his shoulder. It is not reliable AT ALL. I wish I could tell you how many times I've been stranded on the side of the road, but I don't remember anymore.
