  Deal of a lifetime - 2005 Dodge Neon
  By Gearhead - December 29 - 4:00 pm

  After doing research, I found that the design and engineering that went into this car was amazing. I dont see how Chrysler could make and sell a car like this but then Viper and Prowler come to mind. Simply put, this is a performance bargain! The car isnt for everyone. You must appreciate high performance and a taste for the daring because the ride is a bit on the harsh side. It is designed to be high performance and everything about the car from the stance, engine sounds, to the look, feel and ride remind you of what it is. This is not a car for first time drivers or people with bad backs. It can be driven daily with ease but it is truly at home being raced at a track.

  Cute car - 2005 Dodge Neon
  By crankyone - December 28 - 5:43 pm

  Its a cute car, its nice and fun to drive, but theres always something going wrong with it after 3 months. The engine/transmission light always comes on, even when it rains and nothing is wrong with the car whatsoever. Its frustrating taking it in thinking something is wrong with it, and then being told there isnt anything wrong with it, and still having the light on

  Fun and inexpensive - 2005 Dodge Neon
  By wax - November 18 - 8:51 am

  This is my second Neon. I love it. I blast around full throttle and still get close to 35 mpg. I think we drove every small car made before we made our decision. The only one that even came close to the performance of the Neon was the Mazda. I drive a lot of miles, and buy new cars often.

  Neon SRT-4 - 2005 Dodge Neon
  By Whiteacrsrt05 - November 7 - 11:32 am

  This car has been a blast to drive. I have hit a tree doing 80mph in the left rear, and walked away with no problems. I used to own a nissan sentra SER Spec V....I thought that car was fun untill I test drove my Neon, Fun factor of 10!

  Damn fun SRT-4 - 2005 Dodge Neon
  By Tom Wyse - October 7 - 1:03 pm

  Just plain fun to drive! Nothing like performance AND mileage. I have gotten as good as 29 MPG and as low as 22 (driven with fun and gusto). Id read a complaint about poor visibility with the rear spoiler, but find it fine unless I want to see over a 1/2 mile back. Now I want the SRT-10 pickup. The biggest single modification I made was to replace the engine mounts, that ELIMINATED any wheel hop.

  Great Little Performer - 2005 Dodge Neon
  By Bryan E. Rice - August 12 - 3:06 am

  For the two months I have owned my Neon SXT, I have been very satisfied with nearly every aspect. The five speed transmission could use a little more refinement, but the engine is peppy enough to satisfy everyday drivers. Fuel economy has been very good - averaging 27 MPG. One thing I love is the virtual lack of a power lag while the AC is on. My Neons ride and handling are excellent for a small car. Cabin room is more than I expected - even my 6ft-2in tall best friend can sit comfortably in the rear seat. The interior design is clean, functional and solid, though Im prone to accidentally hitting the stereo controls when Im shifting. My Neon is a great car that Im happy I purchased.

  Mustang eater! - 2005 Dodge Neon
  By Turbo-G - April 16 - 7:49 am

  This car is one rocket right out of the box. I cant believe the real power this thing puts out. I love the looks on the faces of the other brand owners when you smoke past them on the road. I live in an area with a lot of Mustang owners, and now a lot of sad Mustang owners. This car is one fun ride. Just hop in and get it on. Best bang for the buck hands down.

  Purchased for highway driving. - 2005 Dodge Neon
  By Sean - March 31 - 2:25 pm

  I commute to work, 40 miles each way, so a car advertising high gas mileage and low pricing was key. I bought the car in October 06 when the weather was changing. It made it through the winter no problem starts promptly, never overheats but I have noticed a few things about the car: Gas mileage advertised is for 60mph. Anything over that, kiss the 32mpg highway goodbye. Engine idles at 6k rpm when stopped, which causes a slight vibration in the cabin. Coolant gauges normal range varies between top end of cold and first quarter line. Brakes squeak. A lot. Dont be fooled though, they work extremely well! Dodge transmission, expect problems! Already rough at 41.5k.

  2005 SRT-4 w/ ACR Package - 2005 Dodge Neon
  By Brad - January 26 - 9:42 pm

  This car is not for everybody. Its loud and frisky. Kids crowd around you when you park it. Its lousy in snow, and rides like an old Jeep. Its not refined. Understanding what this vehicle is not is vitally important. The scarce ACR package makes this outstanding handler even more amazing, with cornering approaching .91Gs. My Mopar Stage 1 upgrade brings 1/4 times into the mid 13s, with smooth turbo response across usable range. Braking is outstanding. What it doesnt beat, it embarasses. If you love performance, dont mind the tuner crowd, and can live with stiff-bolstered seats that make your middle-aged spread apparant, grab one of these cars and hang on to it.
