Highline
| | Model of the car: | Highline | | | General comments: | Not only was my car a veritable peice of poop for general mechanical reasons (see above), all efforts to contact and get a response from dodge were basically ignored. My (very reliable) mechanic will no longer service major problems on Neons due to their seeming need to self destruct- he simply advises customers to get rid of the vehicles while they can. The dealer actually APOLOGIZED for selling me such a wretched car. But they sure are fast.......... | | | What things have gone wrong with the car: | Everything. I bought the car off of a lease (during which it was meticulously cared for) and followed every recomended service, including changing the oil at 2000 miles religiously, and still put $6000 back into it after paying $9000. excluding non-life threatening problems (AC, turn signals, random electrical failures) this car caught FIRE not once, not twice, but FOUR times, the brakes failed repetedly, head gasket blew, it had a random phantom starter problem that was almost impossible to dignose, replaced both o2 sensors, etcetcetc, the list goes on and on and on. Did I mention it caught fire four times? I think Neons are either made wretchedly or flawlessly- i have never heard of a mediocre one. Mine was a death trap. I wouldn't take that sort of risk just to save a few bucks over a cavalier or similar compact. | | | Previous car: | It may be faster than the other entry level compacts, but it'll cost you more and I would NOT advise taking your life into your hands in such a manner...... potential death by brake failure etc not withstanding, take into consideration the neons size vs a |
