1997 Dodge Neon Base Model review from North America
"Overall not a bad car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I personally have not had any problems, but the previous owner did.
Peeling paint.
Engine replacement.
Transmission problems.
Headlights hazed over.
Door has rust bubbles.
Car has been stolen twice (once from the previous owner and once from me).
General comments?
The car in general is a very good car. It is spacious, it has never not started. It is a fast vehicle. My gas cost me about 35 dollars a week, which is great.
