  2 yrs, 30k miles, still love my SRT-4 - 2005 Dodge Neon
  By Scott - May 3 - 3:24 pm

  This car was bought as my daily driver after I moved to the UK. Stock it has great power and handling. After about a month though modified it slightly. Increased hp/tq. Now it is my daily driver and track car. I take it to the track atleast once a month & put down over 300 hp & 350 tq (13.0 sec at 110 mph in 1/4 mile) on stock turbo. Mods are fairly priced. So far this has been the best car I have ever owned. 2 yrs, track days once a month, over 300 whp and you know what the best part is, it runs with zero problems everyday. Reliability is outstanding. People joke about "its a Dodge" or "its a Neon" but in the end my Neon is more reliable than their own cars.

  Mustang eater! - 2005 Dodge Neon
  By Turbo-G - April 16 - 7:49 am

  This car is one rocket right out of the box. I cant believe the real power this thing puts out. I love the looks on the faces of the other brand owners when you smoke past them on the road. I live in an area with a lot of Mustang owners, and now a lot of sad Mustang owners. This car is one fun ride. Just hop in and get it on. Best bang for the buck hands down.

  Most Fun for under $22K - 2005 Dodge Neon
  By cubano5611 - April 3 - 10:17 pm

  Great vehicle, only cost me $21,950 and has been worth every penny. The power it delivers matches that of a mid priced sports car and can easily fit four adults. Comfort is great and so is the ride quality. Iit is not luxuriously smooth, but is equal to your compact four door cars on the road today.

  Purchased for highway driving. - 2005 Dodge Neon
  By Sean - March 31 - 2:25 pm

  I commute to work, 40 miles each way, so a car advertising high gas mileage and low pricing was key. I bought the car in October 06 when the weather was changing. It made it through the winter no problem starts promptly, never overheats but I have noticed a few things about the car: Gas mileage advertised is for 60mph. Anything over that, kiss the 32mpg highway goodbye. Engine idles at 6k rpm when stopped, which causes a slight vibration in the cabin. Coolant gauges normal range varies between top end of cold and first quarter line. Brakes squeak. A lot. Dont be fooled though, they work extremely well! Dodge transmission, expect problems! Already rough at 41.5k.

  I Like This Car! - 2005 Dodge Neon
  By John - March 15 - 9:13 pm

  So far this 2005 Neon of mine has been a real jewel. The car is very attractive and clean. The interior is simple, but very roomy(Im 60") and pretty comfortable. I think the dash is very handsome too. Not too mention the trunk is very large and the gas mileage is unbelievable.

  Fastest FWD Car Ever Made. - 2005 Dodge Neon
  By RTShadow - February 16 - 4:12 am

  I purchased a commemorative edition version, one of the last made. I had wanted this car for some time. I like Dodges, and when they came out with this car it was exciting. If you want a quiet car, a super luxurious cushy car, look elsewhere. If you want throw you back into your seat and scream down the road at astonishing speeds with a throaty exhaust, this is the car for you. This is the fastest FWD car ever built, and at the time, fastest new car you could buy under 25k. I highly recommend this car to anyone looking for a run reliable quick car. Youll find most people with problems have them from doing poor modification jobs.

  2005 SRT-4 w/ ACR Package - 2005 Dodge Neon
  By Brad - January 26 - 9:42 pm

  This car is not for everybody. Its loud and frisky. Kids crowd around you when you park it. Its lousy in snow, and rides like an old Jeep. Its not refined. Understanding what this vehicle is not is vitally important. The scarce ACR package makes this outstanding handler even more amazing, with cornering approaching .91Gs. My Mopar Stage 1 upgrade brings 1/4 times into the mid 13s, with smooth turbo response across usable range. Braking is outstanding. What it doesnt beat, it embarasses. If you love performance, dont mind the tuner crowd, and can live with stiff-bolstered seats that make your middle-aged spread apparant, grab one of these cars and hang on to it.

  Great car! - 2005 Dodge Neon
  By modernmom - January 15 - 9:54 am

  I bought this car for a general drive around. I have done 2 road trips from MO to MN. I love this car $60 for gas round trip! Great stereo, great handling, no repairs other than general maintenance. I love the 28-35 mpg. Nice get up and go. I am a 40 something mom and let me tell you this car makes me feel 25! I would recommend this car to anyone. Downside, noisy brakes and inconvenient console storage. Everything else is a win win!

  Neon SXT - 2005 Dodge Neon
  By Scott - December 28 - 9:00 pm

  I drive this car everyday. It is solid, no squeaks or rattles. I have a 5spd rated 29city/36hwy. My mileage was averaging 32-33 in mixed driving. Once the engine was broken in around 5k miles it felt quite a bit stronger.The idle speed solenoid failed at around 18k miles. No other problems to date. This is the last year of the Neon. The 2nd generation Neons (2000- 2005) are a big improvement over the 1st generation in terms of quality. I also have a 2004 SRT-4 and that has been an excellent car as well.

  Best car Ive sold out of. - 2005 Dodge Neon
  By rmercer - November 28 - 6:04 pm

  I travel the Houston, Texas area and am very happy with this car. The dealer recommended this one and I was skeptical. He was right. It looks small but is very roomy. I get excellant gas mileage and this car is holding up very well in the city atmosphere. Stop and go or on the highway this car is awesome!
