1996 Chrysler Neon Higline LE review from Venezuela
"Excellent car, and cheap to maintain!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have frequent problems in the mechanical part of the engine, but easy to fix. The automatic transmission has a extremely wide final ratio (2.89:1), so the car has a very poor acceleration, but good top end speed. Gas mileage is not so god, but is not bad too. Rear shocks feels too hard, but is OK! Just a few of problems, some of those (2) were expensive to repair. Mine doesn't has ABS.
General comments?
My car is very quick when more than 3250 rpm. Celica's, Mercedes, Audi's, Corollas, Lancers, NA Eclipses, Corsa's, etc... (all with 4 cylinders engines) are very easy to pass out when 3500 and up rpm. I'll buy the manual SOHC first generation Neon to find a little more performance than this one. This car has a superb handling on any type of way or weather, it's on the level of a All Wheel Drive car. I love this car. NEON POWER!
