1998 Dodge Neon Coupe review from North America
"Not worth the money and the trouble"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My air conditioning went out the first week I got the car.
I had to replace the fan relay switch.
We replaced the brake light switch.
The radiator cracked and had to be replaced.
The windows come off track very easily.
The car overheated almost every day.
The fuel line cracked and leaked.
There is a serious oil leak.
I just had to replace the battery after two years.
General comments?
I love the car. It is cute and it just fits me. But I have put a lot of money into this car.
It drives and handles great, and is roomy and comfortable, but is too much trouble..
