1996 Dodge Neon review from North America
"Great"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The only problems I have had with this car is the transmission seal blew out around 63000 miles and I had a hole in my radiator at around 74000 miles and I have a fuel injector go bad, but I still drove the car over 1000 miles with a little power loss.
General comments?
The dodge neon is a great car as long as you take care of it. As long as you have a standard neon and not one with power locks and power windows, as long as you have a standard one the car is great I took it on trips and have had no problems. If you do a few upgrades to the engine like a cold air intake you can get a extra 30 miles to a tank of gas.
