2001 Chrysler Neon LX review from North America
"Cheap and not the best quality"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Distibuter and plugs were changed at about 40,000 km.
Front Suspension bushings were making noise and changed out at about 25,000 km.
Rear passenger upper strut mount was changed at about 55,000 km because it was making noise.
It should have an over drive. It seemed like the engine rev's too high at high speeds.
Fuel economy wasn't as good as I was told by the sales person.
General comments?
Very cheap car for getting around town. Not a good car if you plan to do commuting to work longer distances like I do.
I replaced this car with a Volkswagen Golf. I am enjoying the Golf much better than the Neon.
It seemed that the quality in the Neon wasn't there.
