2001 Dodge Neon SE review from North America
"This car is a BOMB!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
After having it a month, my radiator blew.
I have had problems with oil leaks continuously~very expensive!
I had to buy new brake pads and rotors already~ $300
My windshield wiper tore apart and began to flap in the wind at me as if to mock me!
Someone bumped into my rear bumper and it cracked all the way down-some nice plastic my car is made out of :)
General comments?
I am a recent college graduate and was all excited to get a new car. Yet I should have bought this car when I was getting student loans because I could used them to pay for my continuous car repairs.
I am really disappointed with my purchase and realize why the dealers wanted it off their lot so bad.
Definitely a cute car, but it is a huge investment. Pay an extra $2,000 and buy something else. You'd save that much on repairs.
Only fellow neon owners really understand my woes! Good luck with your lemon! I'll be trading mine in ASAP.
