2002 Dodge Neon R/T review from North America
"Not as bad as advertised"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The engine has to be replaced every 20,000 miles.
There are numerous squeaks and rattles that appear and disappear around the car.
General comments?
I now have 50,000 very hard miles on my Neon (used it for road rallying for the first 35,000) and its held up surprisingly well.
The car takes some time to get warm on the coldest of days.
I sell cars at a Dodge dealership, that's why I bought the car, so I cannot rate the service.
The resale value is the poorest part of the deal. My car, with 50,000 miles and in rough condition, is worth nothing.
