1997 Dodge Neon review from North America
"About two or three steps above the Metro"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing has gone wrong with the car yet.
I have changed the oil on a regular basis.
I have changed the tires and brakes.
I have upgraded the stock stereo to an after market one.
General comments?
I have driven this car hard.
My commute is long and stressfull with stop and go traffic, yet the car still has not let me down.
However, the ride of the car is somewhat rough and the interior has road noise rumble, I still like to drive it.
It is lacking in bottom end power with the automatic transmission, however, it is spunky above forty miles per hour.
