1997 Plymouth Neon Reviews, Pricing & Specs
What owners say
"Overall, owners of the 1997 Plymouth Neon have mixed feelings. Many liked its great gas mileage and fun driving experience, as well as its affordability and ease of modification. However, most disliked its lack of speed, comfort, and build quality, with some mentioning it just isn't a car to show off."
Performance - better aceleration then the KIA sportage for the same Hp (130 hp) Build Quality - good. car is 13 years old, has over 200,000 km and is working fine. only problem is that the speedometer doesnt work sometimes but its a curent problem Appearance - outside and inside isnt anything special Cost of ownership - amazing gas mileage. over 500 km per tank (tank of ~47.5 L). so far no major problem Fun Factor - fun to drive
December 13, 2009Neons are easy to modify, they are easy to work on, quite fun to drive whether its your daily driver or your week end cruiser, many decent used parts (stock and after market) can be found at the u-pull-it junk yard and its economical to drive.
June 5, 2010Great gas mileage, but crappy quality. Handling was OK, acceleration wasn't too bad surprisingly (it was a highline edition), overall it was only kinda fun to drive. The sunroof was nice. Rims did wonders for this car (not the crappy ones in the picture). Good car to get around town in, but not one to show off and brag to your friends about.

October 30, 2008If your a poor, single person who doesnt care what people think these cars are right for you, they dont do to bad on gas, but they're not fast, comfortable, or cool. If you want to feel like you are driving a go kart on the street, here it is. i sold this car 2 months after buying it because it is not a car i liked, and my buddy needed a car. i wish i would have kept it and taken all the body pieces off and made a off road go kart honestly, it could have been fun.
August 22, 2008Funnest car to customize This was my first done up car, and I have no regrets..lol. Performance, doesnt govern out. Had it at 200kms and ran out of road. Cheap Cheap .. can buy them anywhere Never got stuck in the snow, always got me to where i needed to go.
