1996 Dodge Neon base review from North America
"Wouldn't recommended to anyone unless you take really good care of it and you have a good budget"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
When I first bought the car I was the fifth owner. I just needed a car badly because I had totaled my Honda Prelude, so I thought I would get away with a Neon, but I was wrong for the year I that owned it. I had to change the timing belt, oil pan, the starter, and alternator.
General comments?
The only thing positive is that it's a pretty quick car, smooth ride and is cheap on gas. Other than that it only burns your money.
