The trunk leaks - 2005 Dodge Neon
By Danny - April 25 - 11:52 pmThis is my second Dodge Neon and it has low mileage but the trunk leaks. It gets water in the wheel well under the spare in the trunk and also in the back floor under both sides. I have to go vacuum it out and then air it out. The manufacturer did not seal the trunk correctly and no one seems to know how to fix it. It is now out of warranty. I am not happy about this. Otherwise it is a good car, but my right front power window just went out and the air conditioner could be colder at only 38,500 miles.

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

My fun 2nd car - 2005 Dodge Neon
By Hector Fussa - November 7 - 9:10 pmBought 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 pmI 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 amWe 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.

Middle Age Crazy - 2005 Dodge Neon
By Bill9725 - September 10 - 11:20 pmLove the extreme power. Fun watching the Young that know what it is, the older types just think it is a body dress kit. Excellent engine and handling, even able to fit large size adults nicely. Has outstanding Mileage, Power, and Handling. Everyone that gets a ride in the car is amaized at the abilitys of a basic economy car.

Our neon named "Dimples" - 2005 Dodge Neon
By koneill - July 3 - 8:30 pmBought it new back in 2005 and now in 2009 it has 115,000 miles and have had no problems so far (knock on wood). Take yearly trips cross country with the kids and get good gas mileage. The only complaint is all the dents from wildlife running into it, polls jumping in front of it and carts that are attracted to it. I am waiting for everything to start falling apart on it Dimples, but so far, I have love this car and am attached to it.

2005 SRT-4 - 2005 Dodge Neon
By MoparSRT-4Life - February 4 - 10:59 amI have always wanted a turbo-charges street legal car, and Im a big Mopar fan, so why not. I bought an ACR Srt-4 Orange blast Neon. I have been researching them since they came on to the car scene in 2003, Couldnt get my hands on an ACR because only a limited amount of them where made in 2005. But finally found one, and got a great deal for the performance I got! All I can say mainly about this car is that ultimately if youre looking for something with power, and dont want to spend tons of money, buy an SRT-4. Dont let people fool you, its not just a Neon!

No regrets, great little car - 2005 Dodge Neon
By car_auctioneer - January 24 - 3:36 pmI have about 7,000 miles on my SRT-4. Of course its quick and fun but what surprised me is the refined ride on rough pavement, the quiet highway manners and the interior comfort. Im 42 years old, and my sense of good/bad is pretty refined by now. I can say that this car "fits like a glove" in the sense that its real easy to drive smoothly and precisely. On the down side, its had a few trips to the dealership for a bad battery and a chattering clutch, both fixed under warranty. Worst, there was a knocking in the rear struts and I got the "they all do that" from the dealer. 99 cents worth of vacuum hose jammed in the right spot and a few hours of my time fixed that though!
