Quick Question: Subframe connectors- WHY didn't they do this from the factory?
Rust was an issue with all cars but Datsun was so bad they literally had to change their name. Major body parts literally falling off in the road?? I guess most people have forgotten how bad they were by now. I grew up in the sixties and have always loved cars. All cars, not just Mopars. I kept my eyes and ears open. Never a fan of Nader nor Consumer Reports. Consumer Reports seemed to count a burnt out bulb the same as a blown motor... I don't let anybody else make up my mind for me. We drove our cars every where, every day, rain, shine, or snow. My brother had a Mustang and my best friend had a Camaro. I used to run from the east coast to South Dakota and Nebraska every year I could, to see family. 2 days steady cruising at 70 and above in a 64 Barracuda, never a problem, many years with 3 kids by myself. I drove a Toyota from NY to Iowa for an uncle and was almost crippled after 2 hours the seats were so bad. From my experience GM was the least reliable of American cars, Chevrolet the worst. As for Neons, If you want a good forum, go to
www.neons.org. It is sites like neons.org that made me want to help others with my experience on A body Mopars. I've had 3 Neons and all were great. I have retired my 96 till I retire, and bought a 98 as a daily driver. My daughter had one and loved it, till it was totaled. I suggest you stop reading and finding fault, start fixing up and upgrading whatever you want and enjoy it.
