  • Bang for the Buck - 2005 Dodge Neon

    Great Performance without the big V8s A sleeper car in Europe. Only the Americans are driving SRT4s. Its fun to see a persons face who paid 3 times what you paid, when passing them on the Autobahn.

  • Best car ever - 2005 Dodge Neon
    By -

    When i bought the srt-4 it was nothing short of my expectations. Every time I get behind the wheel I feel that adrenaline rush of the anticipated speed. Straight up the best car Ive ever owned. If you are looking to wipe the smile peoples faces and turn heads whereever you may travel this is the car for you.

    I have had nothing but pleasure driving this auto. It is quick and corners very nice. Many people try to race me but I just smile and pay attention to the road. I really enjoy driving and this has been one of the funnest cars I have driven in 35 years.

  • Great Little Performer - 2005 Dodge Neon
    By -

    For the two months I have owned my Neon SXT, I have been very satisfied with nearly every aspect. The five speed transmission could use a little more refinement, but the engine is peppy enough to satisfy everyday drivers. Fuel economy has been very good - averaging 27 MPG. One thing I love is the virtual lack of a power lag while the AC is on. My Neons ride and handling are excellent for a small car. Cabin room is more than I expected - even my 6ft-2in tall best friend can sit comfortably in the rear seat. The interior design is clean, functional and solid, though Im prone to accidentally hitting the stereo controls when Im shifting. My Neon is a great car that Im happy I purchased.

    Decent pickup power and roomy interior for a small car. Like the new styling and color over the 1998 Neon that was traded in. Seats also more comfortable over the 98.

  • My SRT4 - 2005 Dodge Neon
    By -

    I have had my SRT-4 for about two months now. I love the car. It is an absolute blast to drive. I bought it used, so I have had a few problems to fix, but I believe those to be the previous owners fault, not Dodge.

  • Kickin Car for the Price - 2005 Dodge Neon
    By -

    Very stylish, incredible performance. Little bit of vibration, but thats due to the incredible rumble from the exhaust. And you can increase the performance of this vehicle with a stage 3 kit and still be under warranty! How awesome is that?

  • 2nd Neon Purchace - 2005 Dodge Neon
    By -

    This is my second Dodge Neon purchase. I bought the 2005 Dodge Neon STX model with rear spoiler this time. This model is sporty stylish and still turns heads. Its roomy and has pep when you put your foot on the gas. I love this car for the price and gas miles. Relieable so far.

  • Great car for the money - 2005 Dodge Neon
    By -

    Car is a blast to drive and outperforms many cars that cost more than twice as much. I have owned two SRT-4s and have found them to be very reliable. On the downside, the interior looks cheap and there are various squeaks and rattles. These surfaced very early on. Build quality - particularly the paint leaves something to be desired. Mechanically, Ive had no issues. The SRT-4 has many practical features and has been great as a daily commuter and is not bad on long trips. For the tuner crowd, the SRT-4 is well supported by the aftermarket and there are plenty of performance upgrades available.

  • Very underrated car - 2005 Dodge Neon
    By -

    I purchased this car for my college-bound daughter after much debate vs. a small Honda or Toyota. Could not be happier with the decision. This car is stylish, fun to drive, trouble-free, and we saved a lot of money on the purchase vs. competitive models. We had a 1998 Neon and this redesign is a completely different automobile.
