1995 Plymouth Neon Highline review from North America
"You get what you pay for.."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I bought the car at 35,000kms. I pulled out of the dealership and noticed my brakes made a strange noise. I returned the next day to complain and was told this is very normal for a Neon, especially in the rain.
My head gasket went after only 5,000kms, yet again I was told this was normal for a Neon.
The next problem with the Neon would be the transmission. I was lucky. It decided to go at 65,000kms, and I was still covered. The compressor had to be replaced at 45,000.
General comments?
Beyond the points mentioned the car has been good. I have heard others complain. My car has been great on gas. Not the most comfortable, but it is economical.
