1995 Plymouth Neon Highline Coupe review from North America
"Typical Chrysler car, you be the judge"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
On 2nd transmission, and that is failing now (first replaced 3 months after I got the car!!)
On 2nd power steering, which is failing now (first replaced 9 months after I got the car!!)
Bad O2 sensor.
Bad thermostat.
Leaks HUGE amounts of oil.
General comments?
I wrote a review previously stating that although I had some problems at the beginning, the car was OK. Well, 2 and a half years later, I have to call it quits on the car. It leaks oil to the tune of 3 quarts+ a day from both seals, with probable engine damage due to low oil pressure. Just when one thing is fixed, another thing breaks, as well as the usual noise and window complaints. Although fun to drive when it works, it simply does not work enough of the time to be worth your money. DO NOT BUY!!
