"For being a throw away car, it has been a good runner in 9 years"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

2 oxygen sensors went out, one at 30,000 and one at 60,000 miles.

Head gasket went out at 150,000 miles.

Speedometer is weird, it works then it don't.

Fuel pickup/sender broke at 125,000.

General comments?

I have read a few of these reviews, and now it is time I stick up for the little neon.

I will start by saying everything that I read is true (no electrical problems that I know of).

Up until recently, 150,000 miles, nothing has gone wrong on my little car.

I did end up changing the head gasket at 150,000 miles, cost... $1200!

Everyone said it would go out before 60,000 or right after the warranty expired. Ha!

Gas mileage is incredible, I once nailed 43mpg on 93 octane, before you needed to re mortgage your house for gas to go town.

The paint is great, I spotted some cancer last year. Not bad for 8 year old paint.

Not all are bad.
