What Owners are Saying About the 1996 Plymouth Neon
"Great Reliable Car for Value"
"This car is not the most attractive or stylish but delivers quality in performance. Mine is over 10 years old and has had minimal costs outside of maintenance. I get great gas mileage (35-40mpg average. It is a great first car or car for driving around town. I went to school 400 miles away from my hometown and made frequent trips back and forth and the car was very reliable."
"Great car"
"First off, if you look at the reviews for this car, it seems that almost all of the negatives either left no comment, or bought this car used at around 80,000 miles... It is an excellent car if taken care of, if you are unsure of how the previous owner treated it, simply dont buy it. I got my '96 plymouth neon expresso at 85,000 miles and it is now at around 120,000 miles, but routine oil changes and an occasional $25 belt replacement is all that I have had to do."
"Extremely reliable if you treat it right"
"Great car mechanically, and the one I have has a custom color and I love it. It does have some minor issues but what 20 year old car doesn't?"
