1998 Dodge Neon base coupe review from North America
"Great car, No problems here"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing abnormal just the common things belts, tires, brakes, bulbs..
General comments?
I have read some of the other reviews on this site about Neons and I can't hardly believe them considering I've not had one problem with mine and I have owned it since it was brand new. I drive the car everywhere all the time and never had a problem. I have the cheapest neon there is the only options I have is the A/C and a rear defrost and there was a cheap fm radio in it, but I replaced it. Thankfully I don't have those ugly black bumpers that came with the very first base neons those are hideous. the paint on my car has held up well it's a really pretty metallic blue, I replaced the wheels with some nice aftermarket rims I got for a discount. So all in all I really enjoy this little car its never let me down.
