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.

  Nice Compact Car - 2002 Dodge Neon
  By Old Grandpa - September 5 - 2:00 am

  This car is very impressive as far as horsepower. It is a bit sluggish with the A/C running, but thats the norm of most cars. The 5 speed gearbox tends to need a bit of help. (sloppy between gears and hard to get into reverse) The susspension is awsome in the car, no leaning in the corners,(60mph on a 25mph corner)and the car does not slide either. Manual rear windows with power front windows seems a bit odd though. Otherwise I feel that its a great little car.

  For the price it doesnt get much better. Comes with a very high top speed for smaller car. Very fun to drive. Only complaint is thins are starting to raddle at 13000 miles.

  Absolutley no problems. Exterior styling is ok, interior could use a little work (i.e. too many hard plastics). Power is above average for this class decent highway passing. 5 speed manual gear box linkage is abysmal, however.

  Great Car for Small $$$ - 2002 Dodge Neon
  By Apex - January 14 - 2:00 am

  I have owned this car for a little over a year. 0 Problems with it. Great Fit and Finish, great interior fabrics. Overall very nice layout. Would recommend this car to anyone looking for a small car with midsize interior room, fun to drive, with great reliability.

  02 Dodge Neon SXT - 2002 Dodge Neon
  By Ryan Tanner - July 29 - 2:00 am

  I am very satisfied with my new car. It handles very well. I think is is the best car out of all the compact cars made. #2 was the civic. There are a lot of aftermarket parts available for the neon. I have put a lot of performance parts on it and it drives a lot better than any other car I have had. The price was great and I had the first sxt in central Ohio
