Overview & Reviews
A four-speed automatic gearbox replaces the archaic three-speed unit, a new base model is introduced, as is a value-packed SXT. Both SE and ES trims are relegated to fleet-only sales, and all 2002 Dodge Neons get a new "Dodge-signature" (crosshair-style) front end.
- Competent handling, large interior, affordable price.
- Engine lacks refinement, weak frontal offset crash-test scores.

A fine car for the money. - 2002 Dodge Neon
By Chris Dickey - March 3 - 3:16 amI just bought my R/T. It was not my first choice, but being a Daimler-Chrysler employee I couldnt pass up the discount and rebate. Now that I have it I am delighted with it. It is much more fun to drive than I thought it would be. I find it very refined and comfortable. It came with a great warranty if needed. The build quality was much better than I expected. The fuel mileage is much greater than I expected. Over thirty miles to the gallon so far. Summary, I am happy with this car!

Buy the Stick! - 2002 Dodge Neon
By king ding-a-ling - February 26 - 7:37 pmIf you are interested in a FUN little new car, I would suggest the Neon with the 5 speed. The only weakness with this car is the noisy engine. Handles great (tires dont squeal), good power (132HP), looks great (in silver with tint and factory 15" wheels), and is one of the rommiest in the class. Get ABS and TRAC (optional). Stock stereo is also very crisp. Been very reliable (even after accident!).

Great Car - 2002 Dodge Neon
By Andre - February 26 - 3:59 amI purchased my Neon on April of 2000 and Ive put 35K miles in it. So far Ive not had any problem. The car handles beautifully on the road. Its extremely stable on the corners and it has plenty of grip. The Neon is pretty powerful for its size (5 speed manual) and shifting is pretty smooth. Breaking is also excellent. Ive been involved in an accident a year ago and the car handled it without a problem. Im very happy with it. Simply a great car.
