  Eh - 2003 Dodge Neon
  By Jorus - February 20 - 10:00 am

  Frankly, this car really didnt light my fire. I really wouldve rather gone with a Ford Focus or Mazda Protege for the money.

  Good Value - 2003 Dodge Neon
  By PA DAWG - February 20 - 10:00 am

  Car has worked real efficiently. I drive lots of miles each day and I needed a reliable inexpensive mode of transportation. It has a sporty feel and corners very well for an economy car. The sound system is impressive as well.

  Nothing but tranny issues - 2003 Dodge Neon
  By thatoneguy09 - February 8 - 12:46 pm

  I bought this car new toward the end of 2002. Drove fine for the first 1 1/2 years then started having tranny problems. Would jerk real hard when down shifting almost locking the front tires up. Dealer replaced every internal part and the problem still wasnt fixed. Took it back about 2 months later and they said they could not find anything wrong. Well another 4 months or so and it started it again this time it was the harness and they replace it. Well another 3-4mths it had again. they replace the speed sensor and harness. and now for the 10th time total they are replacing all internals in the tranny again. Do not buy this car used.

  Work Horse - 2003 Dodge Neon
  By Ellonen - December 20 - 8:47 am

  I bought this car new and have put 145K (mostly highway) miles on it so far. Absolutely no problems whatsoever. Normal maintenance ie change timing belt at 100K, regular oil changes etc. Fun to drive. Now working in rural area and car is handling the rough terrain and dirt roads without a problem.

  My first car was a disaster - 2003 Dodge Neon
  By acd88 - December 1 - 9:14 pm

  Needed a car to get to work and college. Bought a used 2003 Dodge Neon from dealership with 54,000 miles on it. Ran great for the first few months. Then it idled rough so I replaced spark plugs and wires. Ran good for a while. Had trans flushed at 62,000 miles and things went downhill. Radiator ruptured two months later. Trans fluid leaked out, coolant fluid contaminated the trans. Replaced radiator. At 68,500 miles had AAMCO inspect it. Said trans was good but needed to replace motor mounts.The day before Thanksgiving the transmission went(71,000 miles) Mechanic says the coolant fluid that got in the trans, destroyed it. Thought it would be an easy maintenance first car. Boy was I wrong!

  Do not buy this vehicle! - 2003 Dodge Neon
  By Nicole - November 29 - 1:23 pm

  Despite taking great care of my car, Ive had nothing but problems with it. My brakes have needed work on multiple occasions. Ive had to call AAA three times in the past 6 months alone due to the car breaking down and leaving me stranded, all at less than 55,000 miles. Dodge acknowledges there are many issues with the cars radiator, but they wont do anything to help you, even when the problematic radiator fries your transmission and needs costly repair work. My Neon has eaten 2 radiators in the past month alone, and Ive given up on it at this point. Avoid this car completely unless you want to spend $500+ each year on costly repairs that a reliable vehicle wouldnt even need.

  To date, I have had no problems. I wish I would have ordered the cruise control though.

  Kicks Butt! - 2003 Dodge Neon
  By oOMocKerOo - November 14 - 2:00 am

  My experience with Neons didnt start off that great. I had a 1997 Plymouth Neon DOHC 150-hp engine. It was fun to drive and I frequently smoked Hondas and Focuses. The big problem I had was reliability. This doesnt seem to be a problem with my new 2003 R/T. Very sleek and great looking. I recommend it to all!
