1995 Dodge Neon Sport review from North America
"A low-cost,"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Water pump gaskets started leaking around 150,000 miles
Air Conditioner went kaput around 170K.
The car was noisy at interstate speeds due to the lack of door frame around the side windows.
The Air Conditioning is marginal on hot sunny days and low driving speeds. It is pretty good on the highway when it's over-cast.
It has one of the hottest (temperature) heaters I have ever seen in a car.
The radio is poor at best and the 11 gallon gas tank is way too small.
General comments?
Considering that this is a bottom of the line Dodge vehicle, I feel it was a good value. I drive mostly on the highway which may account for the high mileage I was able to get on the car. It never left me stranded. I was averaging about 35 MPG over the eight years I owned the car. I am 6'3" and was comfortable driving it. There is plenty of leg room which most other cars in this class lack.
