"This car has sharp style, and very fast! I love my Neon!"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Needed to replace the spark plugs, because the car kept backfiring.

Needed a new radiator cap and thermostat, because coolant kept boiling over and leaking.

Speedometer works when it wants to.

A/C doesn't work, needs freon.

Headlights get faded and yellow looking.

Horn doesn't work, I was told when they made 95' Neon's, they installed the horn upside down, so now when it rains the horn gets waterlogged.

Wind noise, even when the windows are closed, probably because of the frame-less design.

General comments?

I don't know why everyone looks down on Neon's, they are very fast and stylish.

This car has a sleek and sharp style to it, very roomy inside, and it has a large trunk.

How long have you had it?

How many miles have you done?

If your engine is backfiring, I don't think new plugs would help. 99 percent of the time when an engine backfires, it's firing on the exhaust stroke for whatever reason. Either the timing is off, or you have a stuck valve, maybe some problem in the fuel system, etc. If it's backfiring all the time, then there's some serious problem in the engine somewhere.

Hello. I wrote the review. I had the car only about 3 weeks so far. There were about 123,701 miles on it, but that doesn't count since the guy put a newer engine in the car. When it was backfiring, I did replace the spark plugs, and it did work! Now my Neon runs great! But now the brakes are starting to squeak.
