1997 Dodge Neon review from North America
"Cheap, unreliable, and a waste of money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
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.
