I paid cash for it from a friend back in 2011 and it is already an old car being that it is 1998 Dodge Neon, yet it is very dependable, reliable, cheap to fix and the city taxes on it as well as even emission pricing and insurance costs. I have driven many many many miles on it taking my husband to work to far places from home on a daily basis, all of my doctors appointments, my autistic sons appointments for everything. I have had to repair very little considering how much I have driven it and how many miles I have put on it. When I have to repair it, it is usually cheap for the parts and for the mechanic. It really isn't too hard to fix. I like that it is made of metal, unlike the newer cars, thank goodness cause I was rear-ended 2 times in a 3 month period. There were no dents whatsoever on my car-yet the 2 people that hit the rear end of my car-their newer made vehicles were all smooshed in and I am sure it costs them a whole lot of money to repair their vehicle from their mistake. I am so glad that I have this lil dodge neon, and an older made car. The metal makes me feel safer and obviously, if I get rear-ended, it hasn't even hurt my car. The only thing I do not like about this car is it is so small. I prefer a larger, higher up off the ground vehicle. I have recently even drove it to a huge big move across the country, from Arizona to South Carolina, where I now live. It made it here with no problems. I would definitely recommend this lil car to a friend. The size is the Only thing I feel uncomfortable with, with this car.

I liked that it was all black including the seats. It was somewhat sporty looking, which is what I had been looking for in a car. It had automatic windows, which was a first for me. It was good on gas and was a great commuter car! It was purchased used, and while it did have issues, it generally ran very well.

I liked that the neon had the power to accelerate quickly if and when I needed it to. I liked that the steering was very tight, and it was easy to maneuver the steering with one hand. It held up through many years of abuse from delivering pizzas and driving for a living. It started to rust after many years, but driving on snow and salt covered roads that is to be expected. I did not like the sound system that the car came with. It was easy to replace the stereo with a new one, but the stock speakers blew one day when the radio was not even on very high. After that, there was a buzzing sound whenever the radio was turned on. The car was easy to keep clean, the dark colored interior allowed me to get out a few accidental food stains. Overall, I really enjoyed driving the car. It handled well, and was great on gas mileage (which is important when you are having to drive a lot.) The front wheel drive made it a breeze to drive in all weather conditions, but it was especially apparent during the winter months. All-in-all, it is a car that I would purchase again in a heart beat. It is a very powerful little car, and a lot of fun to drive.
