No problems here
This car is cheap, fun to drive, and, in my experience, very reliable. The only problem that I've had is that the radio burned up and damaged the AC controls at around 90k miles. Other than that, I've done nothing but normal maintenance. This car is great.
Never Again
I would never in a million years buy another Neon. The only thing that I found Neon about the car was the glowing sign above it that says P.O.S. Every mechanic I have talked to said that this is about as bad a car as you can get. I had to have the brakes (the whole thing. brakes, calipers, etc) because there is an apparent problem Chrysler had with the OEM brakes and they rust so much that the front calipers stop working. Now, after only 65,000 miles of regular driving, not racing, the whole transmission needs to be replaced. This car has been in the shop at least once a year for a $1k repair. Overall, this is the worse vehicle anyone could ever want.
95 Neon Sport almost finished
I started out in my Neon with a lease. Big mistake! I wound up paying a lot of money for it in the long run, but the car went everywhere, cross-country 3 times, up and down the west coast 5 or 6 times. Just now, at 100,000 miles is the car giving me problems. I just replaced the timing belt, h20 pump, etc. I'd like to get rid of it for something a bit bigger.
1995 Plymouth Neon Sport
Positives: Fun to drive. Good acceleration. ABS saved my life once. Good reliable car for almost 8 years until my son totaled it. Negatives: At 5 years needed new AC charge. At 7 years, replaced fan relay ($8 bucks).
From Bad to Worse
Bought new. First week stock battery failed. Driver's door handle squeaks since new - never solved. First month speedometer head failed. Rear alignment so bad that original tires lasted less than 25,000 miles w/ proper rotation. Head gasket went at 75,000. Water pump seized at 105,000 at hiway speed. Bent all 16 valves. On 2nd A/C compressor... Space limits failure list.
