1998 Dodge Neon Highline review from North America
"A Fast and Fun small car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Had Head gasket changed twice.
Struts changed at about 50,000.
Sunroof broke twice.
Oxygen sensor changed at 60,000.
General comments?
For a small car, it has wonderful acceleration and is fun to drive. I have had to do some minor repairs (almost all under warranty) but have never been stranded on the side of the road. I am just now needing to change the shoes on the back brakes. After 98,000 miles, that's pretty remarkable.
Lot's of space for a small car. I would have had to spend about $5000 more from any other car maker to get equivalent space.
