1995 Plymouth Neon Highline review from North America
"A seemingly budget sensitive solution at first glance, however do yourself a favor - JUST SAY NO"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Trunk lock keeps sticking.
Head gasket failure, which I am finding out is an engineering defect that will occur with almost all Neon's - if it hasn't happened to you yet it will so tuck a $1000 away for when it does (I have seen this on more than one Neon).
Air vent on the passenger side dashboard pops out on its own (I have seen this on more than one Neon).
Brakes will never quiet down completely, they always squeak for the first few minutes of driving (I have seen this on more than one Neon).
General comments?
Do not buy older Neon's.
Do not buy older Neon's.
Do not buy older Neon's.
Just in case you didn't understand me.
Do not buy older Neon's.
