1999 Plymouth Neon review from North America
"170,000 miles and counting"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Head gasket replaced.
Transmission lines replaced.
Battery goes somewhat quickly.
General comments?
I've driven across the country several times with this car and it's worked great. I drive everyday.
The gasket thing is a common problem, but I've had no other major problems.
I get the oil changed regularly and buy the octane gas the manual calls for, and the car has almost always been reliable; only been stranded once, and it was because of a fuel additive.
The pickup is great, handles nicely.
A great first car that's taken me to each of the lower 48 states and Canada and Mexico.
