2002 Dodge Neon Base review from North America
"Cheap and reliable little car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Leaky solenoid on the transmission at 35kmi.
Piston Slap, fairly mild though.
General comments?
The car handles fairly well and the brakes are good. Good power at the top of the rev's, but lacking of low end torque.
Reliability has been excellent.
The cabin is basic and some cheap materials. Squeaks are starting to show up here and there.
In short it's a good car that doesn't cost much to buy or keep.
