1998 Dodge Neon Sport review from North America
"Love it! Love it! Love it!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing major
-Replaced the muffler at 160 000km--$85
-Windows whistle.
General comments?
Although I bought this car at 100 000km, I have only made one repair on it. I commute about 80km a day and thus have put A LOT of km on it.
This car is amazing! It still runs like new and is very cheap and reliable. Handling is very smooth and shifting is simple and quick. It is also a lot peppier than I thought it would be--pick up is incredible for a 4cyl. car that cost me $5000.
I was reading other reviews and cannot believe the problems people are having with their neons.
The car really doesn't ask for much. Oil changes and the odd gas treatment are about the only things I ever do to it and she is in great shape.
Bottom line... I LOVE MY CAR. And would buy another one in a heartbeat! I recommend it to anyone!
