1995 Plymouth Neon Sport review from North America
"Can have problems - but so can any other car - it's called a LEMON"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Keep in mind, that the previous owner of the car that I bought did absolutely nothing maintenance wise to the car, so when I got it, there was a fair amount wrong with it.
Whole front end had to be replaced - except for a few parts which were fine.
Transmission needed to be changed because of slippage going from 2nd - 3rd gears.
Brakes (all around) and rotors (all around) needed replacing.
Fuel pump replaced once.
Starter replaced once.
Transmission cables are starting to squeak from park into reverse.
Clunking noise coming from front end while driving - at anytime, not anything specific.
Handful of sensors changed.
A part on the air conditioner had to be changed
Fan on the engine needed to be changed.
General comments?
Honestly, for the amount of money, time and work that went into this car - I still love it.
I like how it handles on the road, I like how it doesn't guzzle gas - which is good because I drive a LOT in my current job.
I like how the car was designed - the frame less windows are something that I love about the car.
Overall, if/when the car is running at the best it can be, it's a wonderful car to drive.
