Recalls and complaints
In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. NHTSA lists 4 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. Owners filed 73 complaints with NHTSA, most often about seats, air bags and electrical system; have those parts checked.
Reading the spec sheet
Power comes from the 2.2L 4-cylinder, driving through a 5-speed manual. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
Plan on about 28 litres per 300 km; the combined rating is 9.4 L/100 km. The fuel for 100 km comes to about $14.57 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,700 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Inside and out
A car body like this keeps the weight low, so it feels settled on the highway. Its 368 litre trunk is enough for about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Who the Shadow suits
It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one. It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else.
Rent it for a week first
Rent first, buy later: a week with the Shadow answers the big questions. Rent the Shadow for a week and see how it fits your life. Try the Shadow on your commute, then decide.
Running costs
A 1,000 km month costs roughly $145.70 at our price setting. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.
Picking a year and a trim
Within the 1992 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices.
