1995 Dodge Neon Highline review from North America
"A reliable red rocket"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Had to replace front pads and rotors... usual wear and tear.
A/C condenser needs to be replaced and evaporator has been replaced under warranty.
I also had to replace my battery, but that was due to the stereo I had in my car.
General comments?
I love my little red Neon and wouldn't trade it for the world. I have had the car for two years and the only thing I had to replace so far were the brakes. Unlike every other Neon my head gasket has not caused a problem. My mom bought this car brand new and used synthetic oil for the first three years and then switched to semi-synthetic. The car runs great and is too bad to see how many problems other people have had with their Neons because I find it to be a very reliable car that is cheap on gas. I change my oil myself every four to five thousand kilometres and it still purrs like a kitten. I have changed the exhaust and put a stainless steel dual exhaust, but not because there was a problem with it, just because they look and sound nice. All in all I think this is a great little car.
