The engine has to be replaced every 20,000 miles.
There are numerous squeaks and rattles that appear and disappear around the car.
I now have 50,000 very hard miles on my Neon (used it for road rallying for the first 35,000) and its held up surprisingly well.
The car takes some time to get warm on the coldest of days.
I sell cars at a Dodge dealership, that's why I bought the car, so I cannot rate the service.
The resale value is the poorest part of the deal. My car, with 50,000 miles and in rough condition, is worth nothing.
It's "not as bad as advertised" but you have to replace the engine every 20K miles?
How much worse could it be than that?
He's admitted resale value is a problem.
You can't trust salesmen, but if a Dodge salesman implies the cars are junk, then they probably are.
I really don't get that "it needs a new engine every 20,000 miles". Could this actually be true on ANY car... that it's actually a somewhat known fact? I've never heard anything like that at all and was just wondering if you meant something other that what you said. I'm looking to maybe get one of these, and if legitimate, then that would weigh greatly on my purchase.
He used it for road rallying, speak: racing. That means there is no comparison to everyday driving. The review is pretty useless actually.
