Great little car--surpasses reputation

This is a great little car! I've had no problems with it (other than the typical brake pad change and new tires. I have 80,000 miles on it, so that's typical by this point. I had a Honda Civic SI previous to my Neon and it was TERRIBLE. I know people love Honda's, but this Plymouth Neon has been GREAT! Much better, at least in my experience, than my Honda. It feels solid, is comfortable and I've had no problems. Nothing has ever broken or snapped off; it's really been great.

This is the best car I've ever owned. We bought this car with 20k. it now has over 275k and no problems. This car was loaded. Side airbags, leather interior, the works. It really was a good value. We drive it daily from the Poconos to NYC. About 220 miles every day. I can't complain.

We bought a 2001 Neon LX in 2002, the car overall does exceptionaly well, has enough power. The sound system is magnificient, comes loaded with a 4 disc in-dash changer and a 6 speaker system. It's very reliable and comfortable for heavy traveling. Fuel Economey is above average for a 2500 lbs car that was fully loaded, but it could be better. A good idea would be to put 4 disc brakes with ABS. We would suggest it as a good starter car for anyone with a small family.

This is my third Neon. The 1996 was the best one so far, but the 2001 is close behind. I have an automatic and wish I would have gotten a standard. The automatics are loud, but the car is still fun to drive. Take a Neon for a drive you'll love it in the long run.

Better car than 1st Gen Neon

I have averaged 20,000 miles a year on a Neon since 1996. The second generation, while a little heavier, is a much better car. Excellent car to buy used, it's a better built car than it's reputation, and you can get a bargain price.

I bought this car the middle of last year and had to replace the brakes already once, the repair shop couldn't believe that they had already worn out! Neither could I. They also squeal almost everytime you push on them from slowing dow, my rating on the brakes? .02!

I got my neon 2016. It already had 150000 miles on it. The only thing i have done was put new struts on her and replaced a ball joint. It now has over 250000 miles and runs like a sewing machine. It is a great vehicle and as long as you take care of it it will it is an excellent car.
