1995 Dodge Neon Highline 2dr Coupe
I've read many other reviews that said
poorly of this car, but all I can think
is that those people simply can not
take care of a car, because mine has
been really good to me. The car is
quite sporty, gets excellent gas milage
(provided you don't floor it
everywhere) and is quite reliable. My
only complaints are some road noise
from the frameless windows, and a bit …
of noise coming from the AC
compressor. Other than that, this is a
very fun, very solid, very reliable car
for it's price range - BUT YOU HAVE TO
TAKE CARE OF IT FOR IT TO TAKE CARE OF
YOU - most ppl don't seem to
understand this point...

1995 Dodge Neon Sport 2dr Coupe
Seemed like a good transition vehicle from the penthouse to the poorhouse! I paid 2 grand for it, twice! Everything that could go wrong with it did. Spent so much time at the shop that a few times he looked at it for free because he felt sorry for me. Now when I drive it, it just dies! Not safe, leaks oil, runs hot, no a/c, a straight bucket!
ARGH!

I bought this car in 1999. For the
first 6 months, it treated me well.
After that, it was all down hill. I
blew my head gasket, my oil and
transmission fluid are always leaking,
my air conditioning only wants to work
for one summer at a time, I've had
problems with the oxygen sensor, and
just recently there was a problem with
my accelerator plate; I accelerated to
90 … on the highway without even
touching the gas petal, and when I
decided it was time to slow down,
neither the brakes or emergency brake
would stop it. During the good times,
it has treated me well, but when
troubled time hit, they hit the pocket
book hard!

Be prepared to have it in the shop often, and be prepared for the most expensive of repairs. Beware corrosion issues with the starter cables/wires, battery, and terminals. Beware belts breaking/snapping, burning for both serpentine and timing belts. Beware having to replace the Head Gaskets, and the AC/compressor. Beware having to replace O-rings & seals for solving gas tank leaks. … Beware the windshield suddenly cracking right down the middle while its parked and untouched one random day. I have to admit, when the car ran, it was a decently good car. Problem is, it doesn't run often, requires towing often, and is expensive to live with.
