2001 Plymouth Neon LX review from North America
"If it was the last car on earth, I'd ride a bike"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The sun roof and doors leak.
Had to replace alternator and battery.
The a/c went, along with the cruise control.
My ignition won't turn and leaves me stranded at the worst of times.
The tape player broke.
On one of my wheels all of the studs broke and the wheel fell off while I was driving. Only the dealer touched the wheels prier. Two of the other wheels also have broken studs.
I have rear manual windows, and one of them has had to be fixed twice.
My motor idles rough.
My power steering makes a lot of noise.
I got a 75,000 mile warranty and the dealer and warranty place tell me it only covers stuff inside the motor and trans. That's not the millions of problems, YET!
General comments?
If you look at Neons keep in mind, the car is awesome to drive at first and the interior is to die for. This car sells itself. Once you sign though, That's IT YOUR BROKE AND STRANDED!
