Pros: great gas mileage, easy to drive, inexpensive, dependable Cons: suspension isn't great, needs more front stabilization, HEAD GASKET PROBLEMS The Bottom Line: Beware of head gasket leaks! Other than that, I love this car still. Luckily, Chrysler has been pretty good about helping out with repair bills.
I have a 1997 neon that was purchased new. It has been extremely dependable on long and short trips. I have driven this car cross-country with everything I own in it and it got great gas mileage. For the entire trip, loaded to the gills with a friend,...
