  i have had my neon SXT for several months now and havent found any big poblems with it. my wife and i needed a reliable car that we could afford and i wasnt willing to have a traditional sedan yet. the Neon looks and feel sporty compared to other cars in its class and we are very happy with it so far

  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.

  Not the best of luck I guess - 2003 Dodge Neon
  By KaylaG - May 6 - 6:32 pm

  Wow. This car was great in the beginning. After about 40k miles it crapped out on me. Countless visits to the repair shop for my transmission, my engine lights always popping on, and new brakes about a million times, let me not forget the gas tank too little doesnt hold nothin! Oh and the darn thing has no oomph doesnt like to go! Theres only a few things that I can actually say good about it. The sound systems great! And its cute.

  Great Car - 2003 Dodge Neon
  By way2fast59 - April 3 - 10:00 am

  For under 20K, I do not think you could ask for anything better. The only problem was that the sales rep that sold me the car did not know ANYTHING about the SRT-4. All in all, I am pleased with the performance of the car. Just keep your foot out of the gas.

  My neon so far has been alright. However at 42 miles I noticed a small transmission lea k so I took it to the dealership to have it looked at and it turned out that the casing around the transmission was to porus and it was seeping fluid though. TO repair the problem they had to replace the whole transmission I am a little scared that I might have gotton a lemon but I am remaining hopeful.

  I bought this car in Feb of 03. Now with 40k miles, no problems to report other then my 3rd synchro going out and multiple torque mounts breaking on me. Its really a love/hate thing with this specific car. Either you love it cause youre an OG neon owner like myself, or hate it cause it got caught with the old Neon stigma. Truthfully I dont think I will ever part with it. I love it that much!

  Good Reliable Work Car - 2003 Dodge Neon
  By Bob - February 23 - 12:17 pm

  I bought this Neon from a dealer that use it for a loaner. It has been a very fun car to drive and very reliable. I am on the third set of tires and had to replace both front end wheel bearings, brakes and rotors around 50,000 miles. I have over 75,000 miles and get great fuel economy, around 32 overal with 36 on the highway and 28-30 in town.

  Love car, love price - 2003 Dodge Neon
  By mt2 - January 26 - 10:00 am

  This car is designed for me, willow springs, street fun, rallies. Best car up to $35K!! I love the race seats - esp on high speed continuous turns. I love the brakes, stops absolutely straight. I love the power to weight (the "real" power to weight ratio). I love the looks, and the attention from everyone. I love the four door race car!!

  My very first new car - 2003 Dodge Neon
  By Gil Davis - October 5 - 1:50 pm

  I bought this car after owning a full- sized Dodge van. Im 63" tall, about 340 pounds...and I FIT! My girlfriend has a Hyundai and Im cramped. Ive taken the Neon on long road trips, the AC is FANTASTIC, get a little better than posted mileage (about 34 on a 4sp auto) on road trips, and have had no problems, other than some annoyances when it was new that were fixed immediately by the dealer. Because of the engine design (short piston skirts to save weight), however, it does tend to get a bit of piston slap when its really cold outside, but it does go away in about 30 seconds or so after the car idles. Not harmful, just annoying. It gets lots of attention when it does that! :-)
