1997 Dodge Neon review from North America
"A great snap together car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
When the passenger door opens the overhead light sometimes doesn't come on and the door ajar light flickers and makes a weird sound.
The knob won't stay on defrost.
General comments?
I bought the car used off a 3 year lease from a dealer for $9,995 with 45000km, a good deal.
After I rear ended someone it still runs great and the Styrofoam bumper really helped me...
Going from 2nd to first has really good pick up.
Easy to put a system in to it providing it is a snap together.
I am going to put 17" rims on it and drop it an inch.
