  Chrysler should still make them! - 2005 Dodge Neon
  By sharong60 - March 3 - 7:45 pm

  I bought my SXT brand new and have had her almost 5 years now and still love her! I love the fuel economy and can get 400 miles on a full tank! She handles great except on ice! I think its the lightweight body. I love the interior and exterior styling! Great stereo, well lit dash, great heater, a/c, like the pull down back seats, which make it almost a hatchback! Parts are cheap. Good warranty. Have had to put very little maintenance on her. Did get new tires last summer. And had a motor go out on my power window, replaced free thru warranty. Had to get a new battery last year. She starts even when left outside in extreme cold. Right now, Chrysler would have a goldmine in the Neon!

  Red SET 4 - 2005 Dodge Neon
  By Dragon - January 19 - 2:43 pm

  I looked for two years to find my SRT- 4. It was worth the wait and anticipation. I recently installed upgraded turbo, components and intercooler by Hahns Racecraft. Estimated HP is 495. All I can say is hang on for dear life. Once in third gear you are gone. I fixed the transmission shift problem with a complete Hurst Shifter. I love this car. A true soon to be classic.

  Great little car - 2005 Dodge Neon
  By Brock - December 18 - 3:28 pm

  Ive owned my dodge neon for just about four years now. I bought it brand new off the lot. Its a sxt model with an automatic transmission. The past two years, Ive been commuting eighty plus miles a day to work and home again. With the exception of a new battery and four new tires, my neon drives and performs well. I do all the maintenance my self. My neon has a few squeaks and rattles which is normal for the amount of miles it has, but it continues to serve me well.

  By David Cox - November 17 - 9:53 pm

  This is the best performing car that you can buy for the money out there in the market today. The car goes from 0-60 in 5.3 seconds, whichh is better them the Chevy SS.

  My fun 2nd car - 2005 Dodge Neon
  By Hector Fussa - November 7 - 9:10 pm

  Bought this vehicle as a 2nd car mainly for commuting, and I love it. I added 17" wheels and some fat tires, tinted the windows so it looks cool. it came with a decent warranty at an excellent price. Toyotas and Hondas are getting too expensive and I think that this Neon with the proper maintanance and care will last me a few years.

  2005 Dodge Neon - 2005 Dodge Neon
  By Bob - November 5 - 5:20 pm

  I bought this car because of its relative fuel economy vs selling price...good MPG for the price I paid. In town I get 25.5, with automatic, driving conservatively. Also, it is a previous SCCA champion road race and autoross car...it handles very well, handles super with a few minor mods.Acceleration is fun, not stunning.

  Still Love The Neon! - 2005 Dodge Neon
  By Matt D. - November 3 - 7:47 am

  We bought this car two years ago with 19k on the odometer. We now have 60k on it. The only issue weve ever had besides a stock battery with a couple dead cells in it, was with a water leak that Chrysler issued a TSB back in 03. I fixed that myself. The car handles great, fairly comfortable for a small car, and is fun to drive. Sure it could use more power, but its way more than adequate. One thing though, is the in town mileage for this car is pretty low. I average 23 MPG in town. But on the highway, especially on our vacation trips, we hit 37 MPG regularly. The factory Goodyear Eagle LS tires were horrible in the rain and snow. I replaced them with Cooper CS4s and havent looked back.

  tiny tank - 2005 Dodge Neon
  By kate_runs - October 5 - 2:38 pm

  In what parallel universe does this car get supposed good fuel economy? I have put a lot of money keeping this car in the best shape, I dont drive it in a gas-wasting sort of way, and I usually only get around 20/22mpg on a tank-- and that is with freeway driving as well. Its like driving a small tank, especially in contrast to non-American compact equivalents. It does zip along quite quickly on flat roads, depending on the weather. Positive: I feel pretty safe driving it (in terms of how solid it is), and the trunk is quite roomy. Lastly: God forbid you turn the a/c on- the mpg goes to around 16mpg

  Chrysler could have done better - 2005 Dodge Neon
  By Willie - October 2 - 3:31 pm

  The fuel economy is quite good. Vehicle came with a spoiler on the trunk lid that obstructed rear view and I ended up removing it and plugging the screw holes. At 38,000 miles the vehicle would not pass a state inspection because the lower control arm bushings seperated from their housing on both sides of the vehicle. Dealer says he has relaced these failed parts on many Dodge Neon vehicles and on PT Cruisers which have the same suspension. Had other Chrysler vehicles in the past and will certainly never buy another one.
