  • This is a Great Car. - 2003 Dodge Neon
    By -

    This a great car to drive. It looks like a sports car without the expense of owning one. It has a powerful engine for a 4 Cylinder car. I got my car from 0 to 60 in about 5 and 1/3 seconds. Good on turns. Nice Stereo system, six speakers, cd player, good range on FM and AM stations. Nice trunk space.

  • Not bad - 2003 Dodge Neon
    By -

    Almost 2 years of ownership and no major problems. The rear brakes squeak when damp--dealer says they all do that. Gas mileage consistently 33. Most comfortable seats of any car Ive owned--drove 12 hours straight without an ache! Sound system is awesome for the cars price. Ride is decent. Visibility out is poor--wide A-pillar high spoiler. Very solid--not a squeak or rattle. Great highway cruiser.

  • Excellent, Inexpensive and lots of style - 2003 Dodge Neon
    By -

    I have had this car for 16 months and 23000 miles. Ride and handling are very good. Very reliable, awesome styling, especially for a single mom with two boys ages 13 and 9. They LOVE this car. Mileage is great I routinely get 30+ mpg and that is normal driving, no highways. This car is a 5 speed. Im smiling all the way to the gas pumps! For a front wheel drive sporty car, it is the best handling car Ive had in the snow and winter weather. And this car does not have ABS either.

  • Great Little Car - 2003 Dodge Neon
    By -

    Somewhere along the way I heard the Neon is a throw-away car. Something to get you from point A to B...no frills. Well I was wrong! This car has been wonderful the past year. The little car really has some get up and go for a 2.0! Nothing like the doggy 1.9 liter in a Ford or Saturn. It gets good gas milage about 26mpg. The radio sounds great! Not tinny like in some cheaper cars. This car is as dependable as it is fun! I live in MN where it has gotten to -15 and the car still started with no problems. It even handles good in the snow and ice.

  • Visibility quite poor - 2003 Dodge Neon
    By -

    For shorter drivers I feel as if Im sitting on the floor, I cannot see hood and visibility, frame thickness between windows, has almost cost me 3 wrecks in 1 1/2 years. The gas milage they advertise is not quite accurate.-( And it has locked me out with car running with the electronic door lock settings! Please keep spare key handy!When cold the engine has a loud tick as if ready to throw a rod and the brakes squeal when wet or cold. They say this is normal? Why only front power windows? And the front window keeps coming off track. Glove box too small can barely fit gloves and owners manual inside! And a real neck breaker to view cd changer.Impossible to clean between front seats.

  • I Love this Car - 2003 Dodge Neon

    What a great car!!! Fun Car to drive, I get about 27-28 mpg. I run it to just under a 1/4 tank and it only takes 7.4 gallons! Great sound system!

  • A GREAT FIRST NEW CAR - 2003 Dodge Neon
    By -

    I bought this 2003 neon back in Oct. 2002, and havent had any problems as of yet. I would say to all this is a very good car to consider.

  • sweet little car - 2003 Dodge Neon
    By -

    Very pleased/surprised with the performance of the car, have driven about 3500 miles so far with no flaws whatsoever apparant. Would highly reccomend car to anyone seeking reliable, functional, and fast transportation at a great price.

  • More room than it appears to have - 2003 Dodge Neon
    By -

    After a year of ownership, I am pleasantly surprised by the Dodge Neon. This car has been driven in the winters of Northern PA, has made a trip from PA to FL, and has handled the summer heat of Central Florida. In all conditions, the car has performed flawlessly. The gas mileage is quite good, the ride is comfortable, and there is much more room than I would have expected. Service from the Dodge dealerships has been very good, and I would recommend this car to anyone that is looking for a smaller car with mid-size comfort.
