1996 Plymouth Neon review from North America
"Piece of crap!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
At 68k the converter went ($350 fix).
At 68.5k the entire front end went ($800 fix).
At 68.75k it had some trans problems (minor - $280 fix).
At 69k the entire interior electric system went. (IF I fix the problem it'll be about $1k)
At 70k those trans problems are coming back! (probably be over $1k)
Only 11-13 MPG city! Utter piece of crap! (Has had full tune-up etc and this is the BEST it gets!)
General comments?
Utter piece of crap! Do NOT buy this car! I bought it for $350 thinking it was a deal (no blowing smoke, etc.) and then the sh*t hits the fan! Do NOT buy this car, keep walking if you think it's a deal...

| A decent economy car, but I wouldn't buy another. You're better off with a Sentra, Civic, or Elantra |
