1997 Dodge Neon Sport review from North America
"Destroys imports in races, but also destroys your wallet"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have needed to drop in a new engine due to how hard I pushed the car.
The oil light did not come on in time to warn me of low oil.
The transmission busted up on me and had to be rebuilt.
The brakes froze up and needed to be replaced.
General comments?
This car is surprisingly quick for a little 4 cylinder. With its 133 ft.-lbs. torque and 150 HP, this car can beat any Civic or other import on the road. With a few modifications and such, you could easily have a 200HP car.
