1998 Dodge Neon Highline Sport Coupe review from North America

"The roomy, zoomy big little car that everyone loves to hate, apparently"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Head Gasket- 60k Dealer serviced for 50.00.

Dent when purchased- Free by dealership.

Sunroof- 20k,40k and 60k The car was hit while sunroof was open, I've attributed the sunroof problems to this fact, and it should in no way be associated with Chrysler - Dealer serviced 50.00 each incident.

Compact Disk player- 60k stopped playing disks - Dealer serviced 50.00.

General comments?

The car was purchased new in 1997 as a 1998 model. Extended warranty purchased alongside the automobile for around 750.00 (7/70,000.) While reading these reviews it has been presented to me that I never knew I got a bad car! Here I've been worshiping the thing getting 40+ yes, that's right, 40 *PLUS* miles a gallon, asking for nothing more than minimal attention, whenever I should be spitting at it every chance I get. The car gets an oil change every 3k along with normal things like air filters and tire rotations, but has never asked for much more than that. I suppose I should have paid the extra money and gotten a slower, smaller Civic, huh? The thing is treated as a race car. I ask it to prove Dodge's claims of a 7.6 second 0-60 time on a regular basis, and it has not disappointed me yet! All things considered, I believe the car is an immense value for the $13,750.00 (Read: CHEAP) price of admission. Did I mention its *Fully* loaded for that price? =)
