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.)
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.

My fiancee has this car. It only has 62,000 miles on it and it looks, runs, and drives like it has 162,000 miles on it. It has rusted completely through already in some spots, it sounds horrible, and vibrates and shakes very bad. It only has a 3-speed automatic, so freeway cruising is at over 3000rpm, which makes for a very loud drive. The ride is very rough and unsettled.

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!
Great car

Since I bought my neon i have had no major trouble from it, just the regular maintenance. I do though have a problem with the wind noise from the window and the engine is underpowered at low rpm's.
