1985 Dodge DaytonaReview
1985 Dodge Daytona — I went with the 4 cyl version so as to try to reduce my traffic enfractions. My 4-4-2 and Mustang got me pulled over so much, I - TO THIS DAY - can tell you my drivers license number. This was a nice comfortable ride - ver dependable and easy to maintain. Primary Use: Commuting to work
Pros:
Sporty, good reliability and handling, this was a fun car to drive. Cons: Not very much room in the back seat Looking for a Used Daytona in your area?CarGurus has 2 nationwide Daytona listings and the tools to find you a great deal. |

1985 Dodge DaytonaReview
Its A Good Car! Plain And Simple — Performance- The performance is a little lacking with the N/A 2.2. It seems like it can't flow enough air through the TBI fuel injection, even with bigger exhaust and no cat it doesn't have much power. Handling is terrible on mine because it needs 4 new shocks Build Quality- its a typical 80's Dodge, half the interior parts are either broke or missing, but it could have been all the neglect and abuse from the previous owner. Appearance- Looks fast, but isn't, makes me want to grow my hair out turn on some Motley Crue and buy a jean jacket Cost of ownership is awesome, I'll still have less than $1000 in it even after I put new shocks, struts, and windshield in it. Fun Factor- Its actually a really good driving car, terribly simple, cheap and easy to fix, and its built really well. Primary Use: Commuting to work Pros: Looks good, gets good mileage, cheap to own Cons: Power doesn't match the looks |

Fun Car To Drive, Nightmare To Work On. I Miss My Old Daytona — This car was an 80's icon. Great styling for the 1980's. Sleek exterior and futuristic interior. For a front wheel drive 4 banger with turbo, it was a great performer. In its day, other cars with V8s were bogged down with smog control and these cars, when equiped with a turbo, could run with and out perform a lot of them. (especially the Shelby variant sister cars) Build quality left some to be desired but was not all bad. Some paint was known to flake and electronics sub-par. Power window track gear breaks easily and were plastic. The automatic transmissions were awful but who would want the auto-trans anyway? Gas milage as I remember was about average for a four cylinder. The driving experience was fun. Front-wheel drive helped the handling but the turbo torque and turbo lag took getting used to. You had better have the wheels pointed where you wanted to go when the turbo spun up. I had immense fun with the car and many fond memories. Primary Use: Commuting to work Pros: good 80's style and great performance for its day Cons: under-powered without the turbo option |

I Would Love To Own Another Of These In The Same Turbo Z Package — Turbo Z, great acceleration, stopping power was very good, handling was superb, Problems with the power seat, maybe I was too heavy? Appearance was excellent. Costs were low, good fuel mileage. Driving this one was the most fun of all. Primary Use: Commuting to work Pros: great acceleration, fantastic handling Cons: The front wheel drive can be tempermental |
