I have a 98 Neon RT with 118K miles
So far it has been a great car,
Yes it had a headgasket problem at about 70K miles
Dealer replaced it with no problems at no charge,
other than routine maitanence have had no other problems,
I have also Modified the car and have been very aggressive with it
i have not babied this car,
yet no probs except for headgasket,
for mods i have the basic bolt ons,
Air intake/Mopar CPU/Mopar Wires/Mopar Exhaust header.
it is also my car of choice for long distance trips,
as i have sepnt 13 hrs straight in the car with little discomfort
