1998 Plymouth Neon Expresso Sport review from North America
"I love my Neon and she is here to stay"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have never had anything major happen with my car. She has been very reliable and never troublesome. Neons have a bad reputation when it comes to head gasket problems, but from my experience, I can say that I have never had any of those problems. My Neon is excellent on gas and is very fast. I have beaten a Mustang, Camero and a Mercedes with my little Neon.
General comments?
I have formed an extremely close bond with my car and I wouldn't trade her in for any car (not even a 911 Porsche which I had the opportunity to). I have reached 84,000 miles with my car and from the looks of it, I will have her for a very long time. Every mechanic says she is in excellent condition, even though I race her all the time, drive like a maniac, and even take my car offroading!
