I'm more than happy with my '99 Neon R/T. It handles very nicely and with regular maintenance has been extremely reliable. I avg around 25 mpg in town and 37 mpg highway (all of which is at an elevation of 3500 ft or higher)on 87 octane reg gas. Head gasket blew at the 3 yr mark but dealer covered it. Headlights dull badly with age but aftermarket polishing helps. Seems to burn out an O-2 sensor every few years and the moonroof tracks have both broken once despite minimal use. Biggest problem (chronic to Neons) is the intermittent failure of the instrument cluster (due, I'm told, to poor solder connections). All in all this car has been incredibly reliable, fun to drive and economical.
Fun to drive and reliable too!

This is a very fun car to drive - it is very reliable, gets decent gas mileage, and takes corners like it's on rails! I purchased this car after owning a ford escort, which gave me nothing but problems. I have had the Neon for two years and have had minimal problems. The car has been completely reliable despite the commute I have put it through.
Neon = your car care

Neons might not have a good rep but what I’ve found it’s from people treating them like civics not changing fluids often enough or doing basic maintenance, these cars have gotten into 500k miles before , the reason the oem headgasket failed is because the cylinder 4 bolt holes weren’t drilled deep enough to torque to spec the solution to that was a 4 ply mls headgasket, timing belts/water pump need replaced either 100k miles or 10 years (at least the belt) take care of your cars they will take care of you(I’ve owned 3 of them) first one I sold because i didn’t take good care of it so it needed some engine work (just valves) the 2nd from purchase had an auto trans that was just bad I decided to use as a parts car for my 3rd as it had around 150k miles and am redoing gaskets , if your looking at one nowadays especially if it’s a 90s model you have to consider that’s a 23-28 year old car gaskets and suspension will need some love. Neons we’re good people were just bad and abused them

My husband and I inherited this car in 2002 with about 10,000 mi. Now it is a little over 39,000 and has had very little problems. Is just starting to. Have a major oil leak & had new cam shank sensor put in. Getting 2 belts & new valve gasket. Is very good on gas. I've driven highways long & short drives & it never failed me. If it only had a CD player and faster start-up it would be perfect! I chose to keep this car over 95 Nissan Maxima fully loaded to sell for husband's funeral, and am glad I chose to keep the Neon. Is a nice ride.

Good car until about 60,000 miles, lots of rattles. Everything starts wearing out. $2000 in repairs in the last year. I would not buy another used one, or a new one if it's only gonna last 60,000 miles.
