head gasket/water pump
Only 90k miles, car in excellent shape otherwise. Can I trade-in as is or should I repair and keep it?

This was my very first car. It was on its second motor and transmission when I got it. This car did not have a ton of top end power, but it was absolutely amazing in corners. I drove the car like I had stolen it all of the time and it took everything I gave it. Loved that car.Apr 05, 2012

the car was a 5 speed manuel and was geared pretty good for for acceleration, car had a sporty look and was great on gas. wasn't the most reliable thing though. i had several issues with it, including having to drop in a new clutch.Oct 17, 2010

All stock, a little banged up but nothing serious. Drives and handles great! Very
reliable for long trips, hasn't broken down, hasn't stalled and has always been fun
to drive. It's nothing special right now, but I have plans for this little car.Sep 25, 2010

I liked this car. Believe it or not it won over a Nissan Maxima. I tried the Maxima and as far as power and handling it was about the same. Where the Maxima lost was on the stereo. Sounded like "tin can" versus the Neon had a 10" speaker in the rear and great sound.Dec 15, 2009

Well, I have three Neons! 1995 Sport Coupe (blue) - zippy around town, but not as quick as the others. My 1995 Sport Sedan (green) is fun to drive with it's factory Mopar Accessory roof racks! Thirdly, there's my 1996 ACR coupe (black). Driven by the DOHC 2.0L which delivers 150 hp to the wheels, this car packs some punch! ACR's were built on the base neon platform (so it's lightweight), but features the competition package (performace computer, stiffer Arvin suspension, rear sway bar, and 3.94 gear ratio tranny, no speed limiter). The ACR is a blast to drive!
All three Neons are 5-spd's!Oct 31, 2009

Ah, my first car. . . the good ole $500 Plymouth Neon. Not much can be said about its looks, or performance, or comfort, or anything for that matter. This little thing's one redeeming quality lied in the fact that it was essentially an oversized Go Kart. It may have only had about 130 horsepower, but it also only weighed a little over 2000 pounds. I had some fun driving that little piece of crap. It even held up for another 4 years after I gave it to my sister. Not a bad $500 investment. I would never suggest buying one unless you were in a situation like I was. 16 years old and being offered a car that ran well with 60,000 miles, cd player, AC, and power locks and windows, from your neighbor for $500.Apr 09, 2009

The car accelerates like a slug brakes weakly but comfortably handles very stiff but with a lot of body roll, was fairly solid just regular maintenance, interior is bit small for me a little loud above 100km but quieter than the Integras Ive owned is quite good on gas for a 2 lite, the car is definitely not fun to drive for what im looking at. i would and have recommended it to a friend looking for a solid cheap car that can "haul his ass for at least a year".Jan 22, 2009

I will skip over the car in stock form, we all know what stock first generation neons are like and if you dont you dont want to. With the addition of some basic bolt on modifycations the car is completely different, the suspension( acr konis, mopar high-rate springs, 20/16 sway bars) brings the handling to near supercar numbers, 0.99g according to my g-meter that is on street tires!!! Now when we begin to un-wind the steering wheel things start to go wrong, if you are looking to impress your friends in a stright line your time would be better spent looking for at least a DOHC engined car. Had I started with a better base I have no doubt that this could be a perfectly reliable daily driver that you could still have more fun than should be allowed with at the track or the autocross every weekend.Nov 28, 2008

Was one heckuva good running car. I sometimes I wish I had it back with gas at $3.77 a gallon. As far as I know it's still on the road today up in Atlantic, Iowa.Jun 23, 2008

Car was simply a replacement for the previous car I had and would fit into my budget.
Windows leaked, radio sucked, power nothing, radiator fan link went out and overheated the
engine causing block warpage and gaskets to fail (i.e. oil leaks). I was so surprised I got as
much for trade as I did. Avoid the first gen Neons!Mar 18, 2008

Don't buy one now. It's about beat after this much time. You'll change head gaskets more
frequently than you'll change oil. Not mechanically reliable after 75000 milesFeb 29, 2008
