1997 Dodge Neon Highline review from North America
"A very good investment"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The dodge neon is the most reliable compact car available. I have had no problems with it, but the head gaskets are known to blow around 100,000 miles. I would advise if you are considering purchasing one to have the head gasket and timing belt replaced. these are the two main problems you will have with the dodge neon. The timing belt is located under a panel and is used to turn the cam shaft. If the timing belt is to go bad, it can lead to major problems like ruining the head (which would cost around one-thousand dollars to replace.) The suspension is very tight and the ride is very sporty and comfortable. Over all, I would give the Dodge Neon a 9/10.
