If you find either of these with a 2.0 or 2.4 engine, either make sure
that it was built in Feb. 1999 or later, or you can otherwise ensure
that the headgasket has been replaced with the newer multi-layered
steel one. This was a common problem with the early Neon and "cloud
cars."

A silly question from a Neon owner in the UK - what is a 'cloud car'?

A

Cars with 'cloud' names; cirrus and stratus.

Cars on the JA platform: Chrysler Cirrus, Dodge Stratus, Plymouth
Breeze. The first out were the Cirrus and Stratus, so they are called
"cloud cars".

I always thought the Plymouth version should have been called the
Cumulonimbus, but apparently somebody at Chrysler thought that was too
long to be catchy...
