1995 Dodge Neon Highline Start Up, Exhaust, In Depth Tour, and Test Drive

In this video I give a full in depth tour and short test drive of a 1995 Dodge Neon. I take viewers on a close look through the interior and exterior of this car while showing details, over viewing of features, and noting unique styling cues to the vehicle itself. I also show the engine and the details of it, start it up and see how it sounds under acceleration. A thorough tour/review of this car designed to give others a greater overall appreciation of the vehicle.

Bought another very clean neon for $400 from an elderly couple in my neighborhood. They bought a new Honda CRV as a celebration present for their soon retirement. It was garaged it’s whole life!

[@chinchy111]

They made power mirrors but said fuck it for the windows...whos bright idea was that at dodge?? Your going to use the windows alot more than the mirrors. You set the mirrors once and then you never use it again. Oh well at least manual windows never break

[@Stressless2023]

Power windows was still kind of a luxury option on a lot of cars back then.

The power window option was for front only. The rear were still crank type. Kinda odd but a nice money saving feature considering you use the front much more often.

The 1st gen Neons were pretty good cars for their time, but the reason why the Neon is crap is because of the 2nd generation. The 2nd gen Neon had nothing good going for it and it's just another example of early 2000's Chrysler crap.

I'm actually thinking about getting another neon, and put a 2.4 in it. Yes, they are sensitive, but if you take care of them, they will last for ever.

I want one too if I can find one with low mileage and great shape. But in my area they're in bad shape. And swap the tail lights with the European/Asian market tail lights.

[@willdowns1745]

If you really put your foot to the pedal, you can feel the Neon GO

[@LOLZpersonok]

This Neon is in excellent condition, it looks brand new. If I didn't already have my Buick Century I'd probably go looking for a Dodge Neon. I think they're cute cars. We had a 1996 or so in the past and we got it for $1.25 (I shit you not) because the body was not in good shape. The paint was falling off and the front looked like it was driven under a bus but the engine was reliable and it was great on gas. Definitely not a performance or luxury oriented car, but the Neon is great for what it's for.

I was looking at an option of getting a Chrysler Neon as my first car but ended up with a different car. I appreciate you uploading this video on what this car is like. I always want a manual model when I buy cars and that car is fine with 5 gears as opposed to the 3 speed automatic version (that's what I found out earlier). I now know they're pretty good sturdy cars but it's a shame they're not really popular particularly in Australia but neither was my first car.

The Plymouth/Dodge Neon benefited from all that Chrysler's designer's learned from designing the LH cars. I own a 1995 Black/Grey Plymouth Neon Sport Coupe with a 5-speed designed at the Kokomo Chrysler Transmission plant and it has all the goodies but not the somewhat troublesome 32-value version of that engine. So this type of engine "delete" option gets you stainless exhaust, a power bulge hood with greater air flow, bigger 4-wheel disk brakes, the 5-speed with an excellent clutch, bigger radiator, 14 inch alloys, and an engine that I have only feed plus gas and Mobil 1 to since birth. It sounds like a fine watch and people in Priuses look agog and I pass them while getting 27 miles/gal on the road and 22 in town. If you can find any Neon in pampered condition that is unmolested, buy buy buy. You won't regret it and you can work on it yourself!! It is a pocket rocket with style!

[@ExtraGloves240]

Indeed. I can't find one in great condition in my area. These are stunning.

In all honesty, I owned a 1996 & never had any real problems with it. I replaced the head gasket at 150,000 kilometers (93,000 miles) and other normal wear and tear dealings you'd find with any car. The paint held up with no pealing or rusting and with proper maintenance the car was great. The only REAL issue I had with the car was the windows scuffing up after multiple roll ups on the driver side, as well as the weather stripping needing replacement. Gave the car to my niece who still drives it
