1998 Dodge Neon Highline Sedan 4DR 4 cylinder
Summary:
It sucks the life out of you
Faults:
The brakes always squeal, even though they are brand new.
The head gasket blew.
At around 50,000 I had to start putting oil in it every other week.
The check engine light came on and stayed on.
The oil light is ALWAYS on.
So much as gone wrong with it I can't even remember!
General Comments:
This is the worst mistake I ever made. When I first got this car, I thought it was cute, until it started sucking the money out of me. This is most unreliable car ever. Whatever you do, don't buy a neon. They are not built to last.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? No

I agree. Honda's cars are getting more and more expensive, while American cars get a bad rap. And a Neon would totally beat a Civic, and provide a better ride. However, if Dodge says the Neon Highline (R/T) will do it in 7.6 seconds, they must have meant down a hill. Edmunds.com tested a 2001 Neon R/T, and found 8.5 seconds with a manual.
