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.
Reliable and fun
I bought this car when first available. It has been trouble free to drive I now have 145K miles on it. Nothing but routine maintainence, no oil leaks and great gas mileage. My husband does the tuneups and oil changes. He loves the fact that you can count on this car to perform.
Initially a Lemon, but aging well.
Burned up its first spark plugs in 9K miles; on its 8th set now. Replaced A/C compressor twice, brake master cylinder, vacuum assist, turn signal switch twice, trunk seals, MOTOR MOUNTS at around 20K, OEM tires lasted only 26K; BUT...at 73K now has minimal rattles and squeaks, and still holds a dead-straight line. Head gasket hasn't blown yet, a common problem in early Neons; does not burn oil or smoke. The interior isn't falling apart, although the floor mats don't hold position too well. Has very limited cargo space, although the rear seats fold down. The 3-speed automatic, maligned by many, has given me no grief.
Good small car.
I've had this car for 7 years. Head gasket replaced under warranty at about 10k. AC failed at 56k. Besides that, however, NOTHING has failed. Just fill up the gas, change oil, and go! Unfortunately, now, at 100k, I noticed some leaks under the car. I've been told it's a bearing seal. Overall: great looking, pretty reliable car. Well, after saying "Hi!" (remember that?), it's time to say "Bye!" to this cute car.
Never Again
When this cars start to have problem it never stops and it is never minor it leaks oil all the time .the dealers all say it is normal ?
