1998 Dodge Neon Sport review from North America
"An easy driving, great, and inexpensive car to fix and drive"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Well, up until recently, the car has been great (very little if any problems).
Within the last six months, I've had to get new struts for both the front end and the back. I have also had to get a new water pump, and had to get my gas tank cleaned because water was collecting in it. I also had to get new pumps and hoses for the temperature gauge for the radiator (it was running a little too hot).
The interior has held up great (it's comfortable), and there is very little rust on the outside of the car. There are some problems with the acceleration, but it's not too bad.
General comments?
I really do love this car. Although there have been many problems recently, the car has held up great with little problems for 140,000 miles. By the time any car reaches 150,000 miles, it is practically entitled to having problems, so fixing these problems was little to no annoyance to me (it is only to be expected). It still runs great, and it rides really smooth. I wouldn't trade it for anything.
