1995 Dodge Neon Sports Coupe review from North America
"Excellent handling, speed, and comfort in one small package"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing has really gone wrong with it, the recalled issues were taken care of by the dealer of the used car lot, NOT Dodge. They were very condescending, so I took my business back to where I bought the car. The only things that are "wrong" with the car are:
The brakes squeak upon compression. (However, the brakes are absolutely fine.)
The windows are frameless, so you get a wind sound. This can be fixed very very easily by a professional, or even yourself if you have a simple screwdriver.
The paint will almost definitely wash off in a pressure washing, but some gentle soap and water will make it look very, VERY nice. :)
General comments?
This car is EXCELLENT on gas mileage. On the highway you can get about 30 miles to the gallon, 25-27 miles in a city. :)
The backseat is huge for a sports coupe. Although the car itself has two doors, the backseat is barely a tight squeeze. :)
The handling is great. Absolutely great. The speed and acceleration are to die for. :)
The car is relatively small, making this a CHOICE car for anybody you know who is just learning how to drive. Great for parallel parking, three point turns, and parking really close to curbs. :)
It has a cute rear-wing spoiler on it's trunk hatch. Makes a rather unisex looking car instead of a feminine look, as the Neon is known for possessing. :)
