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.

  Since 2002 - 2002 Dodge Neon
  By menifee3 - July 30 - 6:59 pm

  I have owned this car since 2002. It runs incredibly fantastic. No problems since ownership. I have nearly 90K miles on it and take it into L.A. every day. Runs smooth, 35 mpg Hwy (Higher than officially rated), and an unbelievable air conditioner which I can only run on low, even on hot days, because it gets so cold in the car. The AC is better than the one in my Mercedes! While far from being a chick magnet, this car is the most reliable car Ive ever owned. And Im keeping it!

  Better Than My Honda!!! - 2002 Dodge Neon
  By MIASXT 02 - January 12 - 5:58 pm

  This car is great, bought it for 2300 with 97000 miles. Original owner. The car is in great condition. The Shocks were squeaking but I put grease on them and havent made a sound. This car really is great. Easy fixes as well. Everyone that complains about this car either bought if from a shady dealer, or someone who doesnt take care of their cars. Very fun and reliable. Now I have heard that the automatics do have some problems with the transmission, so I say its time to learn how to drive a manual.

  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

  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.

  Nothing to complain about - 2002 Dodge Neon
  By 2NRXTC - August 25 - 2:00 am

  I bought this car as a used fleet vehicle according to carfax. It had 35k on it and I just paid $5500! Ive driven the car for about 10k and havent had the slightest problem. Had a 95 neon up to 140,000 miles without any problems. Cheap, reliable, fun to drive. What could be better?
