1996 Plymouth Neon 4door review from North America
"Reliable, fun and fast little car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Since I purchased the car, the drivers side door latch no longer worked, so I had to bungee the door shut.
Spedometer and tachometer stick sometimes.
I recently did an engine compression, and 2 of the 4 pistons are only topped at 80 (poor).
Valve covers leaking.
Struts were shot when I got the car.
Fan does not turn on automatically, had to rig up a toggle switch.
General comments?
My 1997 Plymouth Neon Highline Expresso is THE best car.
I've owned. I've done repairs on it, and it was worth it.
The car handles smoothly around corners at 90mph.
The heater and A/C, radio are all working.
Easily goes 120mph. Love my engine.
