I hate it

This car is terrible. I have owned it for about a year and a half and it sucks. I have to work on it constantly, and have had to make many repairs. The dash will quit working and the only way to fix it is to push on the glass to get it working, and even then the speedometer goes crazy. It is a zippy car, but it shakes really bad if you go 60 or above, which sucks for long drives. The interior isn't so bad, but if you're tall like me, opt for a different car, leg room sucks and it's pretty much on the ground, I have to practically roll out of the car to get out. I've replaced the tires, spark plugs, battery four times (for some reason it shorted out constantly, really bad wiring)
I hate my car

I've owned this car as a high school student just to drive around town, to and from school and work and that's about all it is good for. It is not a pleasure to drive, and I hate the way it looks, inside and out. It's a good first-car, but even then I wouldn't recommend it.

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.)
Don't buy

I second the other comments about the head gasket going in all Neons made before 2000. Mine went at 60,000 miles and oil still leaks. I've also had poor fuel economy since then. I also have a trunk that leaks when it rains. The reason I will never buy another Chrysler car is the fact that the sun/moon roof has never worked over 30 days. When I first had the car under warrenty they replaced the sunroof 4 times!! Once the warrenty ran out they refused to fix it even though it was clearly evident that it is a defect on their part. Although as a friend told me--why bother if they couldn't fix it the first 4 times who's to say they'd do it right anyways.
