Faults:

Water leaked in from trunk, smelled bad.

Overheated six months after buying used, replaced radiator. Immediately engine started shuddering. Going to cost another 400 just to fix enough to see what is wrong with it.

General Comments:

I HATE this car!

It smells musty.

The CD player is spastic and only works part of the time.

My overweight friend didn't fit in it.

The AC died.

Faults:

I bought the car with 170,000 miles on it.

The things I have problems with are the factory paint is flaking off, and it didn't come with air conditioning.

General Comments:

I love the car and I love the gas mileage. The car is very spunky for its motor size.

I have owned the car for three weeks and have put 900 miles on it.

We have changed the exhaust and installed a custom stereo system. We now plan to have it painted, install a body kit, and buy some rims and low pros for it.

This car has become part of the family. Whenever any of us need to go somewhere, we always take the Neon.

Faults:

I put about 1100 dollars into the car, but the problem was I was in an accident in OCT 21 2006, and it did not take the hit so good, and I got a lot of cuts and bruises.

Safety wise it is not good, because the car is mostly made up of aluminum and plastic, and I would not put kids in the front seat, because the air bags still have the gun powder to inflate the air bags, which sucks, so in other words, DON'T BUY IT.

Faults:

Head gasket (replaced by dealer before I took delivery.

Battery failed 70,000 Km.

Air conditioner compressor (warranty, no cost to me). 88,000 Km.

Sun roof failed (clacking sound upon closure), dealer and Chrysler would not cover, so I just keep it shut. 88,000 Km.

Front rotors and pads at 100,000 Km.

Freon leaked out. 140,000 Km.

Passenger side rear strut mount went. $60 and I did it myself 157,000 Km.

General Comments:

Very reliable. Changed oil every 3000 Km (1800 miles) because it was a city car. Got a can of Fuel injector cleaner with the oil change. Tuned up once a year. Replaced timing belt at 120,000 Km (nasty job, did it myself).

Seats are very comfortable (I'm 6'2", 260 pounds), Car is quick, handles well, excellent on gas (30 mpg city, 39mpg hwy). Factory AM/FM tape unit has real guts. Very surprising. Blows great heat in the winter, never failed to start. Wind noise is louder than the average car, but it is an econobox and has served me well. Thanks dodge!

Faults:

Needed to replace head gasket within 2 years of purchase.

Muffler replacement at 149,000 miles.

Alternator replacement at 149,000 miles.

I love my car!!!

My parents bought me this car the day I got my drivers license on August 30, 1997. It was used- 10,000 miles for 10,000 dollars. Neon's have gotten a pretty bad reputation- but I love my car. It is a soldier. The army should have bought these instead of the Hummers!! I've put 140,000 miles on it over the past 9 years. It's had not many major problems. It performs beautifully- even after 9 years and 150,000 miles. It makes me feel comfortable driving. I don't know how I will ever feel as safe in another car. The day I have to trade it in will be a sad, sad day.
