My neon was fine when I brought it home but soon after the head gasket had to be replaced because of faulty materials used in manufacturing. I did some research and discovered this same material was used in all neons from 95- 99, so all Neons before 2000 have the potential for this happening to them. After it was replaced, everything started coming apart and I've had about 5 things replaced on the engine. I have had an oil leak since this all happened and the dealership cannot find out why, they have all been a pain in my butt ever since I bought this thing. I will never buy from Dodge again! Beware, if you buy a neon, dont buy one from before 2000.

It's just not worth the time in the shop to own one. I got mine with 52,000 miles on it. It now has 96,000 and I'm already rebuilding the top end. I've replaced the EGR valve, catalytic converter, CV half shaft, transmission, and many other things. It is the slowest 4 cylinder on the planet with the three speed automatic and I only get about 24 mpg ON A 4 CYLINDER!
Good Car

For the first 20K miles no trouble. Head gasket started leaking, but was repaired under warranty at no cost. 20K to 83K miles, no trouble. Put on tires, oil changes, wiper blades and a new battery. 50K miles replaced front rotors and pads $65.00 doing the work myself. 83K miles rear main seal leaks bad. $350.00 at the dealer. Auto trans. shifting problem. Dealer said problem was a shaft on trans. shift lever and gas pedal connected to. Told to spray shaft with WD-40 and move it until it moved freely. $0.00 84.5K replaced rear brake drums and shoes. $80.00. I have had good service from my Neon. It gets 30 MPG Highway/city driving.
great

I bought this car in 2004. I LOVED it for the first 2.5-3 years I had it. At first the only problems I had with it were the windshield wipers (which have never seemed to fit right) and the tires (I've had 2-5 flats a year, which probably have more to do with me than the car). Since early 2008 I've had a lot of problems. In the past year I've had the brakes worked on four times, one of the rotars replaced, the headlights fixed (twice?), etc. Last year I spent $2,000 fixing this car. Also, the speakers don't work, none of the engine lights work, the vents leak air, and the windows won't close all the way. (This may be normal for a 10- year old car with 120,000 miles on it.)
