2000 Chrysler Neon LX review from North America
"Not a bad car... It could be worse"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Brakes squeal for the first couple of minutes, but dealership said it's normal.
Blew a tire after 10 months of having the car, replaced all tires with another brand even though there are a bit bigger.
Radiator went with no warning and in turn I burned the clutches in my transmission. My engine light didn't come on and I basically could have completely killed the car... good thing I was only 2 kilometers from the dealership. $1500 later, my car is fixed.
General comments?
The neon is a good car, handles well, I've maintained it well since having it. This is the first major problem I've had for 3 1/2 years.
I wouldn't ever buy a neon again, but only did because it was cheap and good on gas. Problems were to be expected just wish it didn't cost me $1500.
