  Perfect so far - 2003 Dodge Neon
  By cometogene - May 17 - 9:23 am

  Bought it sight unseen for sticker price when they first came out. Never even drove one, but I figured how could I go wrong for the price. Man was I right. Smokes almost everything on the road for $20K! Best purchase I ever made.

  Perfect $20K Road Racer - 2003 Dodge Neon
  By CHARGED UP!! - May 14 - 2:00 am

  I have owned this Rocket Car for nearly a month, and I still CANT BELIEVE how good a job Dodges designers did on this one! They have created the PERFECT SPORTS VEHICLE. It accelerates like a Rocket Car, corners like it was welded to the Switchback Road, rides like a Class Sports Car, brakes like an Indy Car! The Perfect Sports Car, plus it is a decent four door sedan with a large trunk and good fuel economy. It has great style inside and out, and the quality of materials and of build are unmatched by any car near this price. Its Look, Sound and Performance attract the attention of every citizen in the area.

  SRT-4 - 2003 Dodge Neon
  By kc9id - April 1 - 2:00 am

  Fun to drive! Awesome power that requires some skill to maximize. Handling is excellent with a touch of understeer. Finish and fit seems to be very good. This is not a quiet car to drive. It sounds like it runs, fast! I did not find the exhaust to be objectionable after a 1500 mile drive returning from Florida where I purchased it.

  I miss my 2000 5M Neon! - 2003 Dodge Neon
  By JCE20902 - January 11 - 2:00 am

  I had a purple 2000 Neon with the 5 speed. I bought it for commuting, but quickly discovered that it was a blast to drive. The interior is very intuitive and the cupholders are wonderful. The sound system was incredible for a base model. Why do people trash Neons and their owners???

  Fun & Cheap - 2003 Dodge Neon
  By larry s - January 6 - 6:32 am

  The car cost me $11,500 about $6 grand LESS than a Honda Civic! OK it doesnt hold its value like a Honda...picky, picky. So far the car has been great, but the last review scared me(electrical short at 50K miles). Dodge has a nasty habit of not taking care of customer problems after warranty over and not fixing them on a timely basis. I say this because I also own a 98 Neon Sport(150HP engine). The early Neons (first 3 model years especially) had engine head gasket oil leaks due to imperfection in metal, not the gasket. Too many customers had to pay $600 to over $1000 to get it fixed. Dodge needs to fix design flaws at no charge or its going to lose customers like me.

  First New Car - 2003 Dodge Neon
  By Michael N. - December 26 - 10:00 am

  I studdied alot of cars and this one just stood out. All of the features and rebates made this car a real winner. The performance is great with the 5 speed and i love the standard six cd changer. All in all the best $14000 I ever spent.

  Neon Love - 2003 Dodge Neon
  By Neon Love - November 23 - 7:00 pm

  I am a 2 time owner of the Neon R/T model. First was a 99 R/T sedan, which I loved. The car was great, only issue was the head gasket. Now Ive had my 03 for over a year and Im as in love with this car more and more every day. Reliability GREAT, Looks GREAT, Performance GREAT, Options GREAT. I love to drive, but I also have a family. This car puts a smile on your face through the twisties and hulls the family in class and comfort. Class is something the 99 fell short on, but not this little lady. Buy one you wont regret it.

  Great Car - 2003 Dodge Neon
  By Wolfman in AL - November 19 - 10:00 am

  This is an exceptionally FUN car to drive!! It does handle like a sports car. I have put 11K miles on it in 4 1/2 months, and have had NO problems, most of this is Hi-way driving at 75+MPH and Im getting aprox 27+MPG. The interior is well laid out and has great ergonomics. The road noise at hi- way speeds is a little loud (but the stereo makes it disappear ;) ). Overall GREAT CAR

  Great car, needs more juice - 2003 Dodge Neon
  By Tallman - October 12 - 3:18 pm

  First off, this car is definitely worth the money, just for interior space alone. Im somewhere in the 67" to 68" range and I still fit comfortably (albeit with the seat all the way back and tilted a bit). Ive also driven it about 33,000 miles and no problems at all other than the occasional flat (weird tire size, Walmart doesnt even carry them). This cars one main drawback is its not very quick off the line, no real torque. Luckily, the Neon is a sport compact tuner car, so lots of performance parts are made to remedy this, if you have the money for em. Speakers are incredible, I dont even have the urge to switch them out. All in all, a great car for the money.

  SRT4 = Bang for your Buck!! - 2003 Dodge Neon
  By ATCDUDE - May 18 - 11:39 pm

  I was sceptical at first, being a previous Subaru owner. But, I purchased this car upon first release in Florida April 2003. This is by far the best "Bang for your Buck" of any car I can think of in terms of what you get in performance. I only have 9,200 miles in two years of ownership and smile everytime I step into the cockpit of this little rocket. Gas mileage is impecable considering the level of performance in this class. When easy commutting or long distance traveling, I ger 23 mpg city and 27 mpg highway. Of course with a heavy foot, these numbers decrease significantly. I highly recommend the SRT4 to anyone looking for sports car performance package on a budget.
