1998 Plymouth Neon Expresso 4DR review from North America
"Good for a mechanical person"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The problems I have had with this car are..
1.Head Gasket and valve cover gasket- at 155000km
2.Leaky, smelly trunk (hurting my subs)
3.Leaky window seals (stupid Design.
General comments?
FAST! This car is a bullet. I have beaten friends in races with their civics, cavaliers, sunfires, grand ams, and even a Chrysler 300m (not 300c) if you can believe it! I don't like the exterior and interior. The exterior is... well... purple (bad for a male) but I have gotten used to it. The interior has squiggly pink and purple lines, but I bought some seat covers for that. This car is good enough to buy for is speed and power despite a few minor problems.
