Neons had a lot of problems, electrical and mechanical. My niece bought one when she turned 16, her dad tried and tried to talk her out of it, no go. Since she was buying the car with her own money dad said OK...knowing car trouble was on the horizon.

her folks paid her insurance but she was responsible for the upkeep. Long story short by the time she was a senior the car was costing her more to own than it was worth.

Her graduation present from Mom and Dad was a new '92 red Miata.
She is still driving that car today preferring it over their new BMW or her husbands '03 Corvette
