1998 Dodge Neon Highline Sedan 4DR review from North America
"It sucks the life out of you"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The brakes always squeal, even though they are brand new.
The head gasket blew.
At around 50,000 I had to start putting oil in it every other week.
The check engine light came on and stayed on.
The oil light is ALWAYS on.
So much as gone wrong with it I can't even remember!
General comments?
This is the worst mistake I ever made. When I first got this car, I thought it was cute, until it started sucking the money out of me. This is most unreliable car ever. Whatever you do, don't buy a neon. They are not built to last.
