1995 Dodge Neon review from North America
"Piece of garbage!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The windshield cracked and got worse at 126,000 miles or so.
Starter went at about 126,500.
Rotors and brakes were needed at about 124,000.
The car had trouble starting (pretty sure flywheel was going).
Heat fuse blew constantly in the cold.
Brake line blew at about 126,000.
In the cold the doors didn't want to close a lot of the time (they just would not catch).
Passenger side door panel was totally broken and didn't want to open a lot of the time.
General comments?
For my first car, I can't assume to have an extraordinary car, but to be honest I hated this thing. It did me my purpose from work and to school I suppose, but the amount of money for a student not making much money to repair things was ridiculous.
I think it was very uncomfortable on the inside, and didn't have much power to it at all.
Overall I really didn't like, and the amount of money to replace everything just wasn't worth it.
