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.
'95 Neon
My mom bought this car brand new in July '94. It was pretty good for the first 3 years, then she began to experience problems after. The transmission conked out after 86,759 miles.
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.
Another Bad American Car
Way more problems than a car is worth. In 80k of miles I've had the A/C go out twice, blown a head gasket, completely remake the brakes twice and numerous other problems. You buy a cheap car you get a cheap car. I wish I had bought a Civic
