No problems at all, the car is as reliable as a trained dog.

Some adjustments had to be done (as in every car).

In my opinion people who are whining about the Neon, shouldn't probably own a car in a first place :-/

General Comments:

I don't see why some people are whining about the Neon. You take care of the car and the car takes care of you, simple as that. Neons do not need big reparations if you can handle them right, - but if you mess with them, it's no wonder they break, like any car does.

The Neon is not a noisy car as many people claim; the magic is in the tires, buy proper tires, and the car is silent. Again, use your brains and the car works fine for you. Chrysler makes good quality and uses materials which last.

Design inside and out is cool, and the overall feel is reliable, sporty and elegant. There is enough space and the back seats can be taken down if necessary.

The automatic gear box works as a clock, silent with a help of a powerful engine.

Power steering and handling feels reliable and good.

Everything you need is in a logical place and is marked properly for everyday use.

This car is competing in the same series as the Toyota Avensis, Opel Vectra, Volkswagen Passat, Honda Accord, Nissan Primera and Mitsubishi Charisma... and think about that list for a while, and then say Neon doesn't cut it, - it does.

The second day I had the car the air went out, which they fixed at no cost.

I have replaced tires at least once each year, all four a year.

Interior is falling apart.

Presently I have an electrical problem that three different mechanics can not find.

I have replaced three new batteries just within the past two months. There is a draw somewhere, but they can't find it, therefore there is no problem?

This car is a joke!

General Comments:

I will never ever make the mistake of owning a Chrysler product again.

Faults:

The ventilation system blows out hot air no matter where the heater dial is set, haven't had it fixed yet.

General Comments:

I was given the Neon as a company car; if I had actually invested any of my own money in it I'd be very disappointed. The car only has a 2 litre engine but it drinks petrol, which, combined with a small tank gives a very short range.

It is extremely noisy at anything over 50 mph which will drive you crazy after a long trip of two or three hours. The ride is awful - you feel every bump and are catapulted towards the roof at every speed bump even if you take them at granny speed.

The auto transmission has only three speeds and when thinking about changing gear is very indecisive - my girlfriend buys clothes faster. Even if you lightly press the gas pedal going up a hill, the car will hesitate, shift down to second with accompanying raucous engine noise and jerk you forward.

All this is totally unacceptable for a nineties car. The company I work at has now stopped buying Chrysler and started buying Jettas. I hope mine gets replaced soon.

Faults:

Rattles from various places.

Brakes are noisy (tried to fix once by the local dealer, helped for only about 3000 kilometers).

Gear selection (will be fixed by the dealer without extra cost).

Central locking (motor in the passenger door broke, fixed without extra cost).

General Comments:

Not very comfortable, not very solid. Nice to drive but 4 speed auto would be nice.

Faults:

Front brake disks required replacement.

Indicator stalk replaced twice.

General Comments:

Generally a good car - excellent value for money, a lot of goodies for the price.

It's a pity that the car is only made as a saloon only (no hatchback) and that when the Chrysler boffins tuned the suspension for European tastes they made the ride too hard. I have driven the American version which was just right.
