Overview & Reviews
An R/T appearance package debuts. Improved option packages, LEV emissions and next-generation airbags round out the changes to the 1998 Dodge Neon.
- Zippy performance with 5-speed. Handles the twisties with aplomb. Good build quality. Great value.
- Loud interior. High-silled greenhouse results in that "sitting in a bathtub" feeling. Sketchy reliability history.

DONT BUY NEONS - 1998 Dodge Neon
By HateNeon - April 23 - 2:00 amThis car was good for the first year I had it. In the past 2 years it has been nothing but a headache. I wouldnt recommend this car to any one. Has a low resale value. In the past 2 years I have put at least $3000 of work into it. The a/c no longer works and now needs to be replaced.

Crap on Wheels - 1998 Dodge Neon
By DantheMan - January 3 - 2:00 amWeve put about $4000 into this car, repairing things that should not break. Sun roof-4 times Head Gasket Front Transmission Seal Real Oil Seal Oil Pan Gasket Thermostat Water Pump CD Player Plus, you get to hear the eletrical sounds as they pulse through the radio. The windshield wipers sound cool, the ac has a high screetchy noise, whereas the redefrost is a low hum. No, Im not kidding. Whenever you turn something on, you HEAR it on the radio. Stay away. Stay far away.

Absolutely the worst car Ive ever had! - 1998 Dodge Neon
By JMc - August 5 - 2:00 amAbsolutely the worst car Ive ever had, and the worst dealer/factory service Ive ever experienced...! Problems too numerous to list here. Quality control, vehicle integrity, and customer satisfaction are NOT Chrysler strong points. Premature failure of the automatic transmission at 8,000 miles. After several repeated repair attempts over 15 months by the servicing dealer, the transmission problem(s) were never corrected. A plea for assistance to DCX Canada was brushed off by a form letter boasting about how qualified their dealer service personnel are to solve technical problems. Not true. Chrysler has yet to learn the meaning of "customer satisfaction".

I am scared to drive my car - 1998 Dodge Neon
By VeryDisappointed - July 3 - 2:00 amI bought this car new and have had nothing but problems with it. It has 34,000 miles on it and I already had it break down on me SEVERAL times. The transmission was replaced before the car even hit 30,000 miles. I am scared to drive my car most of the time because I am scared of what may happen.

Die NEON Die!!!!! - 1998 Dodge Neon
By OCO13 - May 30 - 2:00 amI do not recommend this vehicle. I have had nothing but problems. It has blown two head gaskets and the head gasket is leaking again, which is a costly repair might I add. It runs poor, and drives horrilbe.
