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.

  Love this car - 2002 Dodge Neon
  By Love this car - July 25 - 9:50 pm

  I loved this car I never had a problem with it. I owned it for eight months and put 45,000 miles on it. I was not good to it. I never change the oil on time. I drove a lot of dirt roads. It never failed me. It was one of my fav.

  Still kicking like Bruce Lee! - 2002 Dodge Neon
  By Wooolstun - July 11 - 1:28 pm

  I have been driving my Neon SXT since 2002 when I bought it and have YET to put a penny in to it, other than tires and brakes. The gas mileage is incredible. With todays gas prices, I put $15 in my tank and get to and from work for 4 days, and its a 30 minute highway drive. As far as the interior comfort, I am 6 7" and fit surprisingly comfortably. Most controls are easily accessible, except maybe the cd changer. The exterior, despite your normal dings, still looks good. I still look at it after a good wash and wax and think "wow, looks pretty good". My overall impression is a positive one. If you keep up with routine maintenance, this car should be good to you!

  Great - 2002 Dodge Neon
  By Jen - June 25 - 7:18 pm

  I have had my neon for 3 years I absolutely loved it for the looks and the way it drove but the most important part of the car was the safety of the car. Yesterday I was in a car accident . A car ran a red light and hit me in the driver side door going 45 mph in a large van. I was surprised how well the car held up my only injuries are cuts from the broken glass. Im sure going to miss my car

  its o.k I guess - 2002 Dodge Neon
  By um, idk. its... um - March 29 - 5:05 pm

  O. K, I have a 2002 Dodge neon. My brother gave it to me because the tranny went out. So I got it rebuilt for 1500 dollars. Now I still have it, when I turn sharply enough the engine light comes on, then goes off when I straighten up. It shakes bad on the highway and when I get to 55. The alternators going up, hopefully no time soon, but the lights on. Um, I got a performance muffler and took the airbox off and a performance air filter, so when I give it some gas it sounds excellent for a 4 cylinder. My recommendation though... Get another car. Why spend 3250 on this when you can get a civic or something?

  Excellent Car - 2002 Dodge Neon
  By Good Times Ride - February 9 - 11:32 pm

  This fun car has given a bargain for my dollar. It is well designed for a commuter car. No problems other than normal use repairs. Great car for the price. Need to have more of them for our expensive economy. Its confy an stylish as well.

  Wonderful baby - 2002 Dodge Neon
  By An-Drew Boger - October 1 - 2:28 pm

  Wonderful baby. I had a 1995 coupe and it sold me to purchase this 2002 sedan r/t. I love everything about it. Great car for interior and exterior room, gas mileage, handling and head-room. This is a very stylish car too. The price for this car is great for everyones average budget. I strongly recommend it for everyone.

  Reliable Transportation - 2002 Dodge Neon
  By Alexis - July 20 - 7:42 am

  Ive had my car for five years and have had very few problems. It does great on the highway. The only problem I have with it is when the air conditioning is on the acceleration is decreased, but I think this is due to a less powerful engine. Ive gotten into a couple of accidents in this car and was pleasantly surprised that there was barely a scratch on my car. I would reccomend this car to anyone who needs affordable a to b transportation.

  Best Used Car for the Money - 2002 Dodge Neon
  By carnut - June 6 - 1:45 am

  I think that these Neons get a lot of negative publicity because of the Toyota/Nissan/Honda owners out there. For a used car though, I would rather buy a Neon for $4,000 than an Import for $7,000 any day. You cant beat it for the value and the more I drive mine, the more I like it. Mind you, it isnt worth buying new and if I did, Id buy the Honda Civic but resale value works in favor of the used car buyer too, and I lucked out with my Neon. I would definitely buy the Used Neon over the Used Civic any day.

  Horrible Car - 2002 Dodge Neon
  By Janice - January 18 - 1:34 pm

  I am constantly having to take this car into the shop for brakes to get fixed over and over again. My Insurance told me that they had to raise my insurance because of the type of car. They said if I was ever involved in an accident the car would pretty much be totaled because it was made cheap. I also though having a smaller car would mean better gas, boy was I wrong. I am trying to get rid of it ASAP. For anyone looking, do not buy, it is terrible.
