Bad: 80's 2.2L/2.5L engines were junk. First big thing to go...the main bearings. Caravans, Shadows you could hear the rod banging around in most after 100,000 miles. They also had the stupid idea of putting the ECU wiring harness by the battery which resulted in the wiring getting corroded from the battery acid which caused random shutdowns and bare wires. 2003-2004 stratus has a horrible dash problem with the outer vinyl layer just peeling right off when exposed to defrost heat and sunlight. The rear disc brakes are not so easy to get off. They are held in place by something INSIDE the rotor like a drum. Never did get the back discs off. Never found out why the adjuster didn't let me remove it. Glad I sold it.


Good: Early 60's body styling.
