1998 Dodge Neon Sport review from North America
"Great performance and reliability for the money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Only item to go wrong was the clutch assembly, it broke on the shaft area and had to be replaced. I negotiated a split cost with the dealership since I had an extended coverage policy on the car.
General comments?
I no longer have the car due to being rear-ended by a drunk driver doing 80mph while I was doing 35mph. My son and I both walked away from the car with whiplash and lower back injuries, a few sprains and bruises. I want another Neon as soon as I get the insurance settled. I am impressed with the way it protected us during the accident. I loved the car before that for the performance and reliability.
