This Year's Model Updates:

Everything's new inside and out, as the second-generation 2000 Dodge Neon grows up, not old. A totally redesigned suspension and steering system, low-speed traction control, and a complete exterior redesign head up the notable changes.

Pros:
  • Large interior, competent handling, attractive interior and exterior styling.
Cons:
  • Noisy engine, archaic three-speed automatic transmission, lack of feature content.

  • Its all right - 2000 Dodge Neon
    By -

    I have had a few problems out of this car first my fuel pump went out at 70000 miles and then I just had to replace a gasket on it and now there tellin me I need a timing belt and a water pump for some one who get there service done on time should not be having these problems.

  • Piece Of Junk - 2000 Dodge Neon
    By -

    Ive had the worst experience with mine. I have only owned it 3 years and replaced a cam sensor, speed sensor, spark plugs, freeze plugs, all the belts, thermostat, rotor, motor mounts, the upper and lower one, 2 window motors, and a door motor. Still waiting to replace the power steering pump too but am broke because mine is in the shop every 3 months. If you love spending money for your car to be in the shop all the time, this is the car for you.

  • Love it Hate it - 2000 Dodge Neon
    By -

    I love driving my Neon but I am only 51, so it fits me great. But my husband is 63. Not so good for him and my tall son, so it needs more room. I have had my Neon for years, and it now has 100,000 miles on it. It has taken me all over the USA and at 100,000 miles the motor mounts went bad which made for a very shaky ride until the water pump and timing belt went out also. Lucky it was not too much to fix. It is a great starter car at a great price.

  • a very Bad Choice - 2000 Dodge Neon
    By -

    When I first bought this car it worked and ran great for about two weeks then the starter stoped working at 43200 miles. This car was converted to propane before I bought it I thought that it would be good for the inviroment but the car gets less than ten miles per gallon.The car rides ruff i feel every bump on the highway and theres a whole lot in missouri. Another problem with the car is that there are no ash trays.

    it rides comfortably with good lumbar support and with a fairly comfortable backseat ride. Problems are the front seat space if you are very small people its fine but if you are on the large side you are constatnly bumping shoulders. The bars between the doors and windshiled cause a blind spot and are hazardous. Interior front and back windows are difficult to clean. Gas mileage for city driving is about 12 miles to the gallon but highway goes up to about 35. Mopar products are not dependable as in 3 batteries in 3 years. Minimal amounts of moisture in the air will cause the brakes to squeal, another Mopar product. Poor weatherstriping

  • will never buy a dodge again - 2000 Dodge Neon
    By -

    We have had a problem with the car since we bought it. As far as we know there was only one other owner, and why she traded it in, I can guess why. First it was the struts, then the brakes, transmission, knocking noise, air conditioning, I could go on and on.

  • DODGE DOES NOT EQUAL QUALITY - 2000 Dodge Neon
    By -

    I have had my ES neon for 3 and a half years and 64k miles I bought it new and I have been fairly happy with it. It has good power as long as you realize its not a sports car its an econ car. my sunroof craped out after the 1st year and the dealership said it would be $675.00 to replace it! had an electrical problem with the a/c after the 1st year and had the bearing replaced in the wheel at 18k miles.

  • Nice Design, low quality - 2000 Dodge Neon
    By -

    This car drives nice, has excellent gas mileage, is very roomy, and has good handling and decent acceleration for an economy car. The downside is quality. Everything rusts very quickly, I have already fixed the front brakes once, the rear drums twice, and several minor things have gone wrong. Although it has never broke down and always starts, I dont have confidence in this car after 3 years and 24k miles.

    Ok where do I start Ive had the neon for about 2 1/2 years now and it has 63k on it... and the air conditioning went after one summer use the sunroof went on me after one summer use... it makes awfull noises... and vibrates horribly although it does surprise me for room im 61 and able to fit in it not very comfortably but, i do fit... but, I wouldnt recomend this car to anyone that has high expectations... it is very affordable but, you get exactly what you pay for!

  • My little bubble - 2000 Dodge Neon
    By -

    The car has been good, although the power steering pump had to be replaced and the air conditioning broke after using it one summer. The car needs more pep and whats up with the back windows having no power?? I went to Honda to trade my car in and they were totally making fun of my cars lack of power windows in the back seat! Its good as a starter car but definitely move on to something better.
