Any NEON owners out there?
I had a 2000 neon manual trans. I know the head gasket issue was 1st gen. I've never heard of one in the 2nd gen, and had friends that had them and never had head gasket issues. I put on 250k on that car. Only thing I did was the timing belt. Never had any mechanical isssues. Other than struts and brakes, but nothing excessive. I would buy one again and it was a fun car to drive.
