1995 Plymouth Neon LX review from North America

My head gasket blew at approximately 50,000 miles.

The body gets dented with very little pressure.

My transmission is going out at 77,000 miles.

My car was stolen twice. The police informed me that Neon's are very easy cars to steal. It is very easy to punch out the steering column and turn the ignition on.

I had to have the front brakes replace 2x.

The neon is not a comfortable car to ride in. You feel all of the bumps.

The car does not handle well on icy or wet roads.

Although not directly a fault of the car but of the dealer, I was also talked into purchasing an extended warranty. Now I am fighting with both the warranty company and the dealer because they are fighting paying for replacing the transmission. The dealer is trying to tell me that they don't even sell extended warranties on used cars (though my policy says 60 months or 100,000 miles), and the warranty company is trying to give me some story about when the actual start date of my policy was, and saying my warranty has already expired (though I didn't sign the papers until Dec. of 1997, and it is supposed to be good for 60 months). So... a word of caution. Be sure if you purchase an extended warranty on this vehicle you know what you are getting.
