1997 Dodge Neon Sport review from North America
"Great look for a Great car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Well I bought it usued big time at 217 kms, at 234 my head gasket went. My fault though I was going 170 kms on the highway. So I than changed the engine to a SOHC from my fathers cars since he got in a car accident. The enginge had 58kms and since than I put it to 75kms. The car is powerful. It has more power than the civic. The Cavalier and Sunfire come with about the same power, but price is a bit more expensive all in all it's a great car for the price.
General comments?
The car looks so sporty if you get the 2 door. I like the fact that the backend of the car is raised than the front. The circle lights at the front give it a cute look. However the backend lights are great. Its just one piece easy to change. Back seats are very roomy. Trunk space is great.
