1995 Plymouth Neon Reviews, Pricing & Specs
What owners say
"Overall, owners of the 1995 Plymouth Neon have mixed feelings about their cars. Many liked the fun-to-drive experience, fuel efficiency, and handling, especially in corners. However, there were common complaints about reliability issues, interior quality, and underwhelming performance. Some owners emphasized the car was cost-effective and great for budget-conscious drivers, while others were disappointed by its limitations and mechanical problems."
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.
April 5, 2012I 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.

May 29, 2008All 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.
September 25, 2010Was 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.
June 23, 2008the 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.
October 17, 2010very nice car very fun good quality car very sporty performance very economical 5 speed manual overall a very nice decent car to get around town in no problems that i know of except itidoesnt exactly look that good thats all i can say for now
May 8, 2010I 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.
November 28, 2008Car 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!
