1997 Dodge Neon review from North America
"A fast, cheap and sometimes reliable piece of crap"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Engine problems, transmission problems paint is chipping on roof, the door is bubbling...
General comments?
It kicks ass on the highway. I'm only 18 so it's a good go to school and work and parties car. It kicks Honda and Mitsubishi's ass, but do like to steal my parents Hyundai Santa Fe for dates cause you know rusty doors and chipping paint is not what a girl wants to see.
