  • Dimples has been great to me so far - 2005 Dodge Neon
    By -

    I have the SRT body and it is the 5 speed trans. I love this car and have over 100,000 miles on it so far. I have had no problems beside annual maintenance. When it is warm out, sometimes I have to try a couple of times before the car starts, but it is not an every day occurance. I travel across country 2-3 times a year and commute 100 miles a day (total) for work. I would recommend this car to anyone. If you take care of it, it will take care of you.

  • Great Car - 2005 Dodge Neon

    This is a great and reliable car. I get awesome visibility from all angles. I like to maintain my own car and everything under the hood has easy access and comfort. I dont have to fight to fit my arm down tight spots. It has great handling and maneuverability. Its cheap to maintain and has great miles to the gallon in both city and highway. I only wish it had more space in the trunk and the back seats.

    I just got rid of a 89 Oldsmobile, so this is my first "real" car, and I love it. It is a blast to drive, and the looks on peoples faces because they think that it is "just a neon" and you fly by them and shift and the turbo blasts into their window and they think twice about it being a neon. This little rocket has more power than any car I have ever driven. It also has great handling. This car has a great center point of gravity, cause when you take corners you dont feel the car lean to one side or the other. I would recommend anyone that asks to buy one. If they can find one left anymore!

    I have not had the car long. but i have a sad story. i bought the car on a saturday. by tuesday the trans was blown. it was nothing i did but previous owner neglect. i love the car and cant wait to get it back. the only thing i wish is that the parts were more available

  • Big Guy/Little Car - 2005 Dodge Neon

    Bought this one after getting a 96 strictly for fuel economy. I am 64" the wife is 61" and we can travel without having our knees in our chest. Good response to throttle, handling great, and again fuel economy, all in a little car that so far has been VERY reliable. The stereo is great for a car that retailed for only $16,000, especially when you see luxury cars with stereos that arent much better. Will definitely buy another to "play" with and keep this one for peace of mind on trips. By the way, standing 1/4 mile is 80 MPH, not bad for a economy car.

  • srt4 acr - 2005 Dodge Neon
    By -

    It is a great car the only thing I have done is replace tires and change the oil. It has been perfect and at top speed it is glued to the road it is amazing. The acr came with adjustable struts so it handles great but a little harsh. Just like it should there has been many much higher priced cars that have been shamed when they cannot keep up. This car I will keep for a long time. People complain about the transmission just install mopar short shifter and no more problem, remember mobilone.

    I love this car! She preforms very well and I always get compliments from men and women. (mostly men) my baby moves very well and I dont let anyone drive her. Thanks Dodge for a great car.

  • 2003 SRT4 yellow - 2005 Dodge Neon

    Awesome car love to drive it every chance I get. The price is great and will outrun a lot of cars that cost a lot more. When you need the power its there. I am 60 years old and it reminds me of the 60s era. All I say to people is to get in one and test drive it and you will see what I mean, it is one mean machine.

    This is a very reliable little car, unfortunately stuff from mopar is real expensive so they are easy to total. But other than that i give the car a 2 thumbs up all around

  • Not a bad low end car, better than used! - 2005 Dodge Neon
    By -

    This is the first new car that I have owned. With the current interest rates and promotions at the time, it simply made sense for the first time to buy new. Yes it is true that this is not a "Luxury" car. (Compared to our 1998 Buick LeSabre, many features are lacking). However the 5 speed stick is very responsive. The sound system is quite good, mileage very good. The only negative that I have seen is the clutch seems to "flutter" a bit in 2nd gear (sort of like a bungie cord). Overall I am very happy with the purchase. I have 13k miles with absolutely no maintenance issues whatsoever. (Also the 5mph rear bumpers really do work!) I was even complimented on my "Parking Style".
