1998 Dodge Neon Highline R/T Sedan review from North America
"It is a low-priced, high-performance sports car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing has really gone wrong with the car. It has been highly reliable and it was well worth the investment.
The only thing that I dislike about it is, although it has the R/T package, there are no power windows or door locks. It has a CD player, but no other luxury. I suppose it is good in a way because I don't need the key to put the windows up in the rain.
General comments?
This is a very spory car. It is cherry red with silver racing stripes. The windows have been tinted and headlight covers have been added. It has after market chrome wheels (supplied by me) and a superb Infinity sound system (with complimentary sub-whoofer and amp in the trunk). It is a 5 speed powered by a supercharged 4 cylinder engine.
The thing that I am most impressed with is its 40 mile to the gallon rate. I was told that a car of this caliber would only get maybe 30 (if I was lucky), however, I beg to differ.
Not only is this car sporty, and a real eye catcher, but it is economic too. It will get you where you need to go in style, but not put a crimp in your wallet.
I am very satisfied with my Neon, and I would buy another in a heartbeat.
