2001 Dodge Neon SE review from North America
"An excellent find found here"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have had nothing go wrong with the car so far. There is a slight surge in the engine when I turn on the heater, as I read others comments, I have noticed that they all seem to have squeaky brakes, as does mine, and sometimes it takes a second try to shift the gear into the gear position, perhaps due to a clutch that may need to be adjusted a bit. When it is taken out of the gear position and put back in it is fine.
General comments?
I bought this car in an emergency situation, my daily driver also doubled as my street racer, and I blew my engine. In dire need of a ride, I found this Neon, still under factory warranty for $5500. There is nothing wrong with it, it looks awesome. I got it from a wholesaler that sold caddy's and saab's and such that did not want a neon on his lot. This car will get me through school and hopefully have a long smooth life ahead of it, *evil grins*
