xxmalachaixx Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 So my first and only car is a 1998 Plymouth Breeze, and not being a very car savvy person, i took my car smart dad with me when we went car shopping. He didn't know much about plymouths, but I'll tell you what, that thing has been serving my faithfully. I got it from a slightly shady dealer, so i expected some problems, as it was used. But the few easy fixes i did, and she runs great. Plus i get about 33 miles to the gallon, highway. So who hear can tell me if i just got lucky, or are plymouths actually a good brand of car? Cause i personally wouldn't mind getting another one when/if she dies on me haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustangii Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 (edited) Any Chrysler product is good, but that is just my opinion since I have worked for them since 2001. the Breeze is basically the same car as the Stratus, or the Sebring. The engines are all the same. Except for the coupes, They are Mitsubishi based. Great little cars. I am buying a 95 Neon Hi Line in the next couple weeks. Going to put a 2.4 in it with a 5 spd. Going to build the 2.4 to srt-4 specs, but without a turbo. using 10.25 to 1 compression pistons. Premium fuel only lol. edm Edited June 11, 2013 by mustangii Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pavo21 Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 EWW ED!! you're one of those neon fans. goodness, now the SRT4 was a pretty cool car the idea, but it was still a neon with a engine that would break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rani Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 EWW ED!! you're one of those neon fans. goodness, now the SRT4 was a pretty cool car the idea, but it was still a neon with a engine that would break. My Neon went pretty close to 175,000 miles and was still running perfectly when I traded it in on my Mustang 11 years ago. 'Rani Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pavo21 Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 man idk what it is with my friends that got neons, but they went to SHIT QUIT. the SRT4 was junk, constantly replacing parts and having to fix it, and also 2 other people with basic neons, the trans would go shit would just go constantly. and this was like 4 years ago onthe srt4 but like 8-9 on the regular neons. and they are a UGLY ass car.

Chreees Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 I admit, I'm not a fan of the Dodge Neon either. Or the SRT version of it... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatalshizot Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 There's a reason why you can pick them up practically new and dirt cheap... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chreees Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 I know a guy here in my hometown who ragged on me sooooo hard for my Focus when I got it. He drove a little red Neon SRT4. I just laughed and said, "Dude, you drive a fucking Neon!" His response? "It's not a Neon, it's an SRT4!" Same shit... Dodge made a smart move by replacing the Neon with the new Dart. I actually really like the Dart, but I'd never buy the first year model. Always wise to wait a couple of years at least for all the kinks to get worked out. Not to mention I like having a paid off car that I paid for all by myself while going through college. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustangii Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 The Dart is basically a Fiat in Dodge clothing, lol. as in Fix it again Tony. Well the 1.4 turbo engine is. The 2.0 and 2.4 is Mopar. The 2.0 has 2 cams, intake and exhaust. The 1.4 and 2.4 has Multiair. Here is a video to explain that. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Td9Gz_h7Qpg The 6-speed auto is Hyundai, The dual dry clutch 6 speed, and 6 speed manual are Fiat trannys. The design of the Body is Alfa Romeo. Some info from Allpar. http://www.allpar.com/cars/dodge/dart/index.html And to answer the question about Neons, Yes I like them, I also Like PT Cruisers, I have an 05 PT GT Turbo. Same engine as the SRT4, just detuned a little, because of the Auto trans. Neon are fun to hop up and cheap. 2.4 with rt 5spd, maybe some forged pistons and maybe a little squirt of NO2. fun times. edm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustangii Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Also the New Jeep Cherokee is based on the same platform as the Dart, except it is all wheel drive with 9spd transaxle. will be avalible with all wheel drive, 4 wheel drive, and a 4 wheel drive with locking rear diff. edm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
defiance211 Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 EWW ED!! you're one of those neon fans. goodness, now the SRT4 was a pretty cool car the idea, but it was still a neon with a engine that would break. and didn't have power windows, and only had cloth seats and was a Neon. I used to crush those things when I had my GT35R powered RSX Type S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
