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.

great car...great value if used - 2002 Dodge Neon
By mikesurf - July 1 - 2:00 amRemarkably roomy with very good seats Great handling, and the 4 speed trans makes the car feel so much better than earlier ones I drove as a rental. Now has 27000 miles and no hint of squeak or rattle, except for squeaky brakes which I hear is common problem with Neons. NOTE: I bought mine one year old--SE so has power wind/lk/mirrors--for just $8,600. Nearly new Neons seem to have terrible resale value, so perfect cars to buy used. Unless you are even fussier than I am, buy one used and save

Shes so Cute - 2002 Dodge Neon
By Jessica Pearce - April 12 - 2:00 amI love my little red neon! I just bought it this week due to my saturn (which I loved as well) being totaled in a car accident. It is perfect for me being a college student, yet it is still o so cute and fun to drive! Gas is ok...not as good as my saturn, but thats what happens when you upgrade a little. If you are looking for an inexpensive, yet fun and cute car...the Neon is the way to go!

Very nice - 2002 Dodge Neon
By GoodFriendOrion - March 8 - 2:00 amI havent had the car long, but it has been wonderful so far. The body design is sleek, the car runs beautifully, and the interior is quite comfortable (my last car was a 72 VW Beetle). Very much worth the money.

ACR Two Year Review - 2002 Dodge Neon
By yamura - December 21 - 2:00 amThis is my second Neon, one of the cheaper cars I ever bought but probably is the most fun of all to drive. Excellent seat-steering wheel- pedal realtionship, comfortable seats, blazing quick if you want to drive it that way, outstanding handling, economical, and this one has been dead stone reliable.

Build Quality - 2002 Dodge Neon
By gonwildondatyfs - November 8 - 2:00 amThe Neon is one of the best cars ive been in when it comes to wrecks. On Nov.7 2003 i was in a wreck in one the guy that hit us was doing 40 mph and distroyed his car and held up like othing ive ever seen. it broke the back bumper and put a little buckle in the quarter panels but other then that it held up nice. If your a family person trying to find a safe car the neon is it.

Another good one - 2002 Dodge Neon
By jefferson - November 4 - 2:00 amI bought this car about a year ago with 17K. No repairs have been needed, just routine maint. It is really at its best on curvy roads, the suspension/tire combination handles the sharp turns well. Nice power when it is just me in the car but when it is loaded down I miss my99 with the DOHC engine.

Well rounded car - 2002 Dodge Neon
By Ryan Barnett - September 7 - 2:00 amthis car looks decent for the price and drives good whether it be just for a cruise or leaving it stock and drag racing it on the weekends like me. Ive gained credit for racing it and beating many of the v8 mustangs. bracket racing of course but its a great car for the money.
