Clutch, transmission, engine, and struts replaced.
Well, the short of it is, this is the only car that I have ever seen/heard of capable of 40mpg on the highway while being able to out run early 90's Camaros and Mustangs powered by V-8's and newer Civics, Cavaliers, Cobalts, and MUCH more, while being roomier than every comparable model car and being rather cheap and easy to maintain. It handle like a dream for what it is, and has tons of room! (I am 6'6 and fit fine in the drivers seat, and with a little squeeze can comfortably ride for an hour or two in the back) It has a rather spacious trunk to boot! The major repairs that I have done have never cost more than $500, granted we (my father and I) did them our selves. The only things the worst critics should have to complian about is a plain, utilitarian interior, and a stiff, yet sporty, ride. None the less, I hold it as the best econo-box built to date!
I agree, I Bought a 97 Neon as a second car to save on gas. I normally Drive an Intrepid, but I do mostly highway driving, and this car easily gets 35mpg, and when gas is at $4.04/gal, this is great! I was actually surprised by the power that this car has. I do have an automatic, but this car is quick! It really feels much like the 3.2 V6 that I have in the Intrepid. I have had mine for about a year now, and it has 178000 miles on it, and I've only done normal maintenance. Great little car.
