I haven't had any serious problems with my car. Every once in a while I have to add oil because my head gasket leaks; it hasn't blown yet... and when it rains the floor in the back of my car fills with water. I think it gets in through the trunk. My brakes also squeak and the mechanic claims that their in decent shape. For now it gets me where I have to go. I know you basically get what you pay for. I love my car, but I also don't have much to compare it to.
This is a great first car. I paid $3,500.00 for it and it seems to be reliable.
I really think that the head gaskets should have been recalled, other that that the car is great!
The neon has bad seats bad turning also it cost 10,ooo for it it so small icant even move in the back seats. I aslo this car should be recalled for its bad turninig and horrible seating.
