1995 Plymouth Neon 2 Door Coupe review from North America
"A good first car...that's about all"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
To begin with the drivers seat had a tear along one side.
The paint started to peal about a year after I bought the car. Not just chip, but peel right off.
My car started to hit the shop around 85000 miles and it's been downhill ever since.
In one shop visit there was over $800 in parts not labor put into the engine.
The interior held up till recently the lining on the roof began to fall right off.
My speedometer works sometimes.
And finally at 110000 miles the timing gear froze and the belt got tore up and took out the water pump. Repairs cost $450.
General comments?
This was my first car and it was wonderful I traveled around and racked up the miles.
After about 80000 I would recommend to trade in while there is still some value to the car.
It is was the perfect first car.
