Dodge Neon
| | Model of the car: | Dodge Neon | | | General comments: | When I was looking into buying a new(to me)car, I was just thinking how good it would be to not drive the ghetto mobile I was driving before. But at least that car was reliable. I had the car a day and the battery was dead; a month later the spark plugs were shot; a couple months after that the "service engine soon" turned on and wouldn't go away-it was the starter; a month later the starter relay switch went out and left me stranded at work, and watching a tow truck take that hunk of junk to the dealership to get fixed. The brakes squeak(of course-probably a trademark or something). After reading all theese reviews I'm going to be waiting for the head gasket to go out(knock on wood-maybe the guy that owned it before me already replaced it-that's not my luck).
I'm just grateful that I decided to go with the extended warranty or I would be out a whole lot of money, for something that I won't get jack for when I trade in.
But I drive it like crazy and it has about 92,00 miles, but still is going fairly strong.
I'm in the process of moving, and you would be surprised how much junk I fit in to the thing.
But my Grandma has a 2001 Plymouth Neon LX and is really pleased with it, except for some sort of recall on the brakes.
My overall review would have to be: not worth the headache.
A word of advice: know about the car before you sign your name.
I'm looking forward to saving up some money to trade in this headache(probably for a nother). | | | What things have gone wrong with the car: | head gasket?
