I have owned this car for 13 years. I bought it when I was 19 and making bi-weekly 400 mile trips to see my girlfriend. I'd be lying if I didn't say the 140 mph speedometer didn't intrigue me as a kid, and I've been close to pegging it a time or two. It is still fun for me to drive, even if its performance values are not comparable to cars made today. The one that is very relevant is fuel economy; this 3.0 L 5 speed car will get 35 mpg on the highway (at 65 mph). I recently drove a hybrid on a road trip that averaged 38 mpg. It has had its drawbacks...the car has always had an overheating problem whenever I have the ac on. I have created other problems (and learned more about auto repair in the process) of chasing this problem down. But, aside from these problems the only other work (preventative maintenance excluded) I've done to it is 1) A new ECU 2) A new BCM 3) Oxygen Sensor 4) Rear axle end (bad bearing burned into axle end) 5)Tires. It is overdue for some new shocks/struts.

When the Dodge Daytona first hit the scene, it was the first entirely CAD designed car in the world. Built to compete with the Chevrolet Camaro and the Ford Mustang in the early 80's, it put out the same amount of power and torque out of turbo 4 cylinders but saved fuel, and looked better. In 1990 Dodge started using the 6G72 Mitsubishi SOHC 3.0L V6 under the hood of the Daytona. Coupled with the A543 5 Speed Manual, the car was a force to be wreckoned with. The engine and manual transmission were virtually bulletproof, and most Daytona interiors are very plush, and exteriors stand up to the elements very well. The car even has a 5 star NHSTA front crash rating. Mine went to 312,000km before I sold it, and it sold for $3400! A great car for reliable transportation and for a little performance.
