1998 Plymouth Neon EX review from North America
"Would buy it again :)"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
In this car the door frame does not surround the window. This has lead to windows shifting and a lot of wind noise when driving.
As well the car seems to be a target for break ins as the windows are easily pulled away from the car, to get something inside to open the doors.
The mechanism in place to keep the large doors from closing makes a loud cracking noise when opened and closed.
The trunk gets very moist - although I haven't figured out where the leak is occuring.
General comments?
I love this car! Despite it's faults. It has been extremely dependable.
Being a 5-speed with DOHC the car has lots of pep - fun to drive, and extremely economical when it comes to fuel consumption.
Being a second hand car, I'm happily surprised to, as of yet, had no problems!
