Do any of you know why the Neon has little wires embedded in the rear windows?
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
It's so the people pushing them can keep their hands warm.

1994!

I have to admit to owning a Neon, a 1995 I bought in 2000.  Was just looking for a car to drive to work & around town.  It was clean with 70,000 miles & priced right.   Two years & 12,000 miles later I traded it for $700 on a new Saturn.   Can't even count the things I had to fix in 2 years plus what was bad when I unloaded it.  My wife still won't let me even look at a Mopar because of it.   The only really bad car I've ever owned.

Those first gens was junk. A LOT of the egine issues were fixed with the 2nd gen,most notibly the head/bol issues. Unfortunately,not ALL 2000 model got the running chage,my Wife's didn't. It needs aheadgasket (most common symptom),but fortunatey it only needs one by way of leaking oil down the back side,not into th antifreeze. The CC and A/C don't work,but otherwise it's dead reliable

One of them came into our school auto shop a few years ago after a spark plug had shot out of the head and smashed into the hood.  If you own one, make sure your spark plugs are tight!

Well...I think that should apply to any car
