1998 Dodge Neon Highline Sport review from North America
"Good for daily driving, and racing"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing has gone wrong with the car so far, seeing as I have had it for little miles. I hear they are notorious for head-gasket problems. I am 17 years old and I have turned this car into a drift car, and it takes the punishment well.
General comments?
This car is fun to drive. Mine is custom made by me for drifting so I can kick it around any corner with a slide. Also a good daily driver. Gets me where I need and gets rather good gas mileage for a 2 liter Dual Overhead Cam engine. 18 miles in the city and 26 on the highway. But I drive it really hard, so the numbers may seem low to some.
