Used 1995 Plymouth Neon Sedan Consumer Reviews
For my first car...not too shabby
Excellent exterior, no paint chips after almost 8 years. Great gas mileage. the only problem I can complain about is some electrical work. The horn wasn't working when I bought it so I had it fixed. It needed a new clockspring-needless to say it's a $100 part, but it works perfectly fine now. I sometimes have problems with the left signal, it will only work when a press the signal lever down firmly-but it doesn't happen always. It's a fun car to drive with enough room for friends and belongings.
Good high school / college car
I bought my Neon in 1997 at an Enterprise Rental Cars Used Car Sale with 30,000 miles on it. Compared to the car I had been driving, the Neon was a Cadillac. The engine was peppy, the interior was spacious, and the sound system was not bad. However, I had plenty of problems with the car... A/C broke, the speedometer stopped working, the trasnmission needed to be replaced, etc. The trunk was huge, the rear seats roomy for friends and it was a good car for someone in high school and college, even though it didn't have cruise control. I upgraded to a Mercury Cougar in 2001 and now the Cougar feels like a Cadillac...which I know it isn't.
The absolute worse car ever!!!
I have had nothing but problems with this car, most notably the head gasket, a/c and then the clutch all within six months. Then the brakes went, along with the heat system and the speedometer. I wish I would have went with the cavalier that was sitting right next to this car on the lot.
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.
