1995 Plymouth Neon Base review from North America
"A fun car to drive"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The left turn signal turns on when the brake is applied.
Power steering fluid leaks and must be added weekly in warmer months and bi-weekly in colder months. The repair would cost about $500 which is about what the car is worth.
The care sometimes hesitates when trying to accelerate. This can cause things to get a little dicey when pulling out at a busy intersection although it mainly occurs in the higher gears on the highway etc.
General comments?
The Neon has been a great car. It is inexpensive to run and is reliable. As is ages it seems to be developing more problems, but for someone equipped to deal with them it would be a great car to run into the ground. The car is incredibly fun to drive and handles great. The braking is excellent as well/
