Used 1995 Dodge Neon Sport 4dr Sedan Consumer Reviews
95 No go
Significant reoccurring electrical problems due to poor design of electrical harness. overheating because of head gasket problems. The electrical problems have been the most frustrating because they are difficult to impossible to track down. '96's made in Mexico have the harness problems that is recallable. Same problem exists in 95 but dealership is unwilling to acknowledge or repair under recall. Same dealership has had a lemon plymouth van parked in front of their shop for over 2 years.
Avoid the Neon
I purchased this vehicle used with with 40k on it in 1998. While for the most part it was dependable, nearly every little thing that could go wrong did: insturment cluster failure, stereo stopped working, paint coming off with major rust, tinting bubbling, windows stopped working, power locks failed, interior and exterior trim falling off the car. I could go on. Performance-wise, the ride was stiff, but it handled well. Low power, not very sporty at all and fuel economy was bad. I averaged about 22mpg with mostly city use. Very low miles were put on the car. With no warning and about 80,000 total miles on the vehicle, it threw the timing belt and destroyed the engine.

I agree - WORST CAR EVER MADE
DO NOT buy this car, it's a piece of junk! My husband bought it in 1999, and it's been nothing but problems. We now have a car that is worthless because it has more damage than it's even worth. It now has a cracked head gasket and cylinder, the AC was gone a couple of years ago, we've had muffler problems, belt problems, power windows went out and do not even shut properly, you name it! Now we're stuck trying to get another car with no trade-in (the dealers won't even give us 50 bucks for it!). We have paid more to have this car fixed than it's even worth, and now there is another $2,000+ in damage on it! I will never buy a Dodge again.
It's a Lemon!
I replaced close to about absolutely everything on this vehicle except the engine. Auto Transmission only lasts 60K miles! AC and Head Gasket Last about 36K miles. Alternator belt, cables/wires/starter last about 4 years. This car is a complete lemon, and almost all Neons are like this. Neons were designed to break-down after the 3 year warranty.
Get Rid of it before you hit 90K
Head Gasket blew Chysler only paid half and it was like pulling teeth to get them to pay. A/C compressor and evaporator blew at the same time over 1000 dollars to fix. Won't do it since the car isn't worth that much. Sensors for gas gauge bad. Windows when open have water pour in when it rains had to put on vent shades.
