1998 Dodge Neon review from North America
"Your getting what you pay for"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I haven't had any serious problems with my car. Every once in a while I have to add oil because my head gasket leaks; it hasn't blown yet... and when it rains the floor in the back of my car fills with water. I think it gets in through the trunk. My brakes also squeak and the mechanic claims that their in decent shape. For now it gets me where I have to go. I know you basically get what you pay for. I love my car, but I also don't have much to compare it to.
General comments?
This is a great first car. I paid $3,500.00 for it and it seems to be reliable.
I really think that the head gaskets should have been recalled, other that that the car is great!
