  • Great car, great price - 2005 Dodge Neon
    By -

    Im impressed with the car dodge has created for the incredible price. This car has the speed of its competitors for 10k less with the performance and styling to go with it. Mopar also offers great performance upgrade packages with the car and better than expected prices and better than expected hp increases. You cant beat the performance for the price.

  • The greatest car I have ever owned - 2005 Dodge Neon
    By -

    Being a previous owner of a 97 Neon, I couldnt wait to own an SRT-4. 2 years after the first one was sold, I finally bought one. The acceleration is phenomonal. The handling is incredible. The look of the car is sporty and mean from the front and back. The sound of the engine, by just removing the stock resonators, is awesome. The interior looks good with or w/o the optional Viper seats. The car stock is mid 14s, if you throw in a few thousand dollars of modifications, from MOPAR, your in the 11s. Try doing that with any other car from any other manufacturer that sells for under 25k. Dodge knew exactly what they were doing when they built and designed this car. Dont miss out.

  • Very good for price - 2005 Dodge Neon
    By -

    I was looking for a second car, cheap and economical. (Replacing a Corolla 99). Its less refined in the interiors but meet the requirements. It is more fun to drive, better equiped, and has outstanding audio (almost U$ 5000 less than Corolla, Civic and Mazda3 in Puerto Rico)An excellent car for the price!

  • SXT with SRT DesignGroup Kicker - 2005 Dodge Neon
    By -

    I got a 2005 SXT with the SRT-4 Design group and The Kicker Audio System all for $16,500. The best part is even with my lousy credit, I still was approved with Chrysler Financial for a 4.9% interest rate. Overall, the car is far superior to the first generation Neons in all areas. It feels more solid and well built than the 95- 99s. The manual transmission pulls the car much better than the automatic. With the dual exhaust, Ive got some 0-60 times around 7.8 seconds.The fuel cut off doesnt kick in until about 7.2k on the tach, so thats an improvment. all it needs is the Indy intake manifold and a CAI and should be right around 6.9 - 7.2 for the 0-60

  • Bought Another One! - 2005 Dodge Neon
    By -

    This new baby replaced my old 96--so many of the bugs have been worked on that Im even more pleasantly surprised than I expected. Gas mileage, even though the new one is auto and prior was manual--is still phenomenal. Only drawback is the significant lag in pickup, which I did not experience with my former Neon. (My former wasnt nearly as cool looking though. Great to have a car I dont have to park a block away and sneak into places to avoid being seen)

  • Awesome car, fun to drive - 2005 Dodge Neon
    By -

    Ive had my car for over a year now. Its so much fun to drive, and the gas mileage is pretty good for a turbo. I can get up to 300+ miles to a tank when on the highway (without boosting). Handling takes some time to get used to, but its not bad. Could be better, though. Performance is amazing, once you get past the wheel hop.

    Economy car that provides good gas mileage and reliable transportation. Drives 80 miles a day to work. Last Neon (1998) drove 175,000 miles and only needed a head gasket. Very happy with all around performance.

  • Love My Neon - 2005 Dodge Neon

    Simply a great car. Corners like its on rails! Economical, safe and fun to drive! Great value for the money!

  • One quick Neon - 2005 Dodge Neon
    By -

    Although I have not had my SRT-4 for very long, I can say that this car is not your ordinary Neon. The car has plenty of power to back up the fact that it is still a Neon. Not to mention the car handles extremely well from the factory. Overall I am very impressed thus far a look forward to further enhance the performance of my SRT-4 in the future.
