  • One Great Ride - 2005 Dodge Neon
    By -

    We love this car and MPG. For the money you cant go wrong. The interior has so much room and comfort, great stero and options.

  • Cool Car - 2005 Dodge Neon
    By -

    So far this car has been very fun to drive and the factory sound system is just awesome. The body styling is also the best styled Neon ive seen so far. The interior is well made as well and its also great on gas. And there is so many aftermarket parts for it as well which is a good thing for me.

  • I love my car - 2005 Dodge Neon
    By -

    I purchased my car a few weeks ago and just love everything about it. The handling is great, the dash is easy to read, the stereo is awsome, and plenty of interior room for my family. I usually drive a van or a full size pickup buy really enjoy the size of this car. It is easy to manuver in parking lots. The only thing negative I have to say is the the front end is hard to see from the drivers seat. Judging the front will come in time, but for now I have to watch out for it.

  • Good car - 2005 Dodge Neon
    By -

    I really do like this car. The only thing is that I dont like the ride quality at a stop. It shakes too much but it makes up for that in the banging system you get for such a cheap price. This car also has a sporty feel to it

  • Wonderful car - 2005 Dodge Neon
    By -

    A wonderful car, I love the amount of trunk space, and I am a fairly tall person and there is more than enough leg room. The back seat holds 2 large car seats with plenty of extra room. The stereo system is awesome. It handles great at any speed.

  • Suprised - 2005 Dodge Neon
    By -

    Was suprised at the performance of the Neon. The fact that the rear windows arent power doesnt bother me at all because I have a little one that could hit the down button a lot easier then she could roll one down manually. As far as gas mileage goes, I probably average 30 mpg and I drive more city than hwy, doing almost 3000 miles a month. For a nice car, but low payment, a Neon is well worth it.

  • Wouldnt Have Believed it - 2005 Dodge Neon
    By -

    If someone would have told me how sweet this car was I wouldnt have believed it. But once I drove it I was hooked. Sure its a little rough around the edges, but its dead on where it counts. Outperforms cars that are thousands more right out of the dealer lot. Performance upgrades are cheap and easy. Racing style Seats are great after getting used to them. I took a 4 hour trip a month after getting the car and I didnt even think about them. Its a nice commuter car. Small enough to zip around town, fast enough to get away from the SUVs that dominate the roads. Small performance car designers should use this as a template.

  • Whoa - This Car Is Sweet! - 2005 Dodge Neon
    By -

    Ive bought about 30 new cars in my life and recently traded in my Ford truck for a new 05 Neon, primarily for the fuel savings. I had a 98 Neon that I drove for 150,000+ miles trouble free, so I knew they were reliable. This new model (SXT) is so much nicer than the 98 I cant believe it. Its comfortable, quick, and looks great. The fit and finish is outstanding and the price is reasonable. The suspension and steering and feel of the car is just flat "stuck." I really dont see how the folks at Daimler Chrysler can afford to sell this car for the price they charge, its that nice of a car. It feels almost large inside and is so well made and tight that I recommend this vehicle to anyone.

  • bang for the buck Rush!! - 2005 Dodge Neon
    By -

    I finaly went out and drove the SRT-4 yesterday and was more than pleasantly supprised. Understeer was very minimal with considerable wheelspin on slower corners. But when I expected understeer the car clung to its line and glided exactly where I wanted it. High speed cornering was a little less impresive with the car seeming to wobble around and not want to keep a set but overall balance was excellent for a car in this class. Compared to the nissan spec-V the dodge has much less understeer on slower cornering and accelerated with a punch that the nissan didnt have. However on the high speed corners the SER seemed more set and planted at the limit. all in all I had a smile on my face.

  • awe vehicle - 2005 Dodge Neon
    By -

    we have 3 neons 99,03,04. all perform flawlessly. have had no mechanical problems with them, start good, run good, mileage is excellent always 35 mpg or better. handle very well, ride is comfortable, performance is good. travel a lot of highway, 300+ miles per trip every other week end. have also packed a lot of stuff when haul too. is limited to size on some hauling. a lil more trunk space would be nice, like make the back about a foot longer?
