General Comments:

I loved my neon.

This car was quick, amazing on gas and looked great. It was comfortable, reliable and very, very fun.

Recently I had an accident with it and totaled the car (I hit a tree at 85km/h), however, the neon stood up extremely well and kept me from getting hurt.

I feel extremely safe in a neon and would definitely recommend it to anyone.

This car had a lot of km on it and still ran perfectly (only a few minor raepairs)

I am in the process of purchasing another one!

Faults:

The transmission went bad at 90,000. It still shifts, but very rough and jerk shifting from second to third. Spark plug wires are very faulty and the "check engine" light is on. The switch to turn on your brights does not stay.

General Comments:

Other than the problems stated above the car is very reliable and easy to fix.

This is a very good beginner car and if you wreck it, its no big deal.

Faults:

O2 censor went out at 160000 miles.

Headlamps weathered horribly since about 1999.

Latch console busted due to my own fault :).

Fuel pump at 166,000.

General Comments:

Well worth the money.

Slow to start, but will fly after about 45mph.

Comfortable.

Trust it to go anywhere.

Take a lot of long trips. In Illinois brother lives in San Diego. No problems at all.

Faults:

Oil leak in head gasket. Had to refill oil weekly. Thousands to repair, and apparently happens to ALL Neons around 70000 miles.

Transmission has always been jerky. Now transmission takes 1-2 seconds to engage an getting worse.

Check engine light always on. Is set off by the slightest sputter.

Engine is very noisy. Pick-up has deteriorated and it accelerates slower than it used to.

Advertised 40 mpg, actually gets only 20 mpg.

Tires blowing constantly. Alignment continues to get off track, even after fixed.

AC causes engine to shudder and squeal.

Breaks squeal, especially when wet.

Turning causes belts to squeal.

General Comments:

This is a terrible car. It looks good, but it's falling apart all over the place. Dodge/Chrysler knows about the head gasket oil leaks, but won't do anything about it.

Never buy this car. I'm never buying a Dodge or Chrysler again.

Faults:

Fuel pump failed, had to replace.

Lapis blue paint began peeling in chunks on the door.

Beginning to peel/crack on top.

Leaks fluids regularly.

General Comments:

The number one trait of all neons of this time is the inevitable peeling paint. At first I thought it was exclusive to the lapis blue color, but it truly is not. I purchased a small bottle of paint from the dodge dealer and after patching some areas up have stopped a lot of the peeling.

The car has not given me a lot of mechanical problems.
