  • So far so good! - 2004 Dodge Neon
    By -

    Had this baby for little over 2 years and I love it, not sure what most people are complaint about if you keep up with normal maintenance it should be fine in my two years of owning it Ive put almost 30,000 miles on it and havent had a thing go wrong with it except changing the battery. Great car to start with as long as its an 02 or newer neon. Ill agree with the others, I wish they kept making it I would buy another one :)

  • Fun, fast, and reliable - 2004 Dodge Neon

    This is a reliable car for the performance that it puts out. Mine has 163,xxx miles and gives me no real issues. This car is built to last and last it will! The ride is a little on the rough side but isnt anything to really complain about, the seats are nice as long as you arent a larger person, gas mileage is great for a car that has this much power, I love the location for the factory boost gauge and that it comes with one, and the sound system is incredible. Possibly the best thing about the car is the sound it makes! The spoiler gets in the way when looking back, though you quickly get use to it being there. The only other bad thing is the rear windows are manual.

  • Ebay Buy - 2004 Dodge Neon
    By -

    I bought my Neon from the original owner thru Ebay in 2005 paid $8400.00 - drove it from Phoenix AZ to Dallas , Tx. it had 18K original miles. As of today 01/10/2012 it has 74K - repairs consist of new wheel cylinders and brakes front and rear and a crank sensor. I put a K&N air filter in it and have had the transmission and coolant serviced on the factory schedule. I use Pirelli tires and I always run middle grade gas. Most of the miles are hiway @ 34-36 mpg. It handles like a small Porsche and has plenty of zip. My only complaint is the seating - not terribly comfortable. It has been a truly wonderful car and an excellent investment.

  • Its been fun - 2004 Dodge Neon

    My family bought this car brand new. We havent had any problems with it until just recently. At 60,000 miles, the radiator broke. I want to get it fixed, but the mechanic doesnt guarantee that only the radiator is broken. Cant completely blame dodge for the break down, probably just a lack in regular service. Overall, its a good little car. its a shame to see it go this way.

  • I had a wreck in Neon - 2004 Dodge Neon

    I was rear ended on the highway by a truck that was doing around 55 mph and I came out without a scratch the car body performed wonderful, it totaled the car but I was unhurt I was very impressed.

  • Cheap and Fun - 2004 Dodge Neon
    By -

    In most buys, I would say you get what you pay for. But, this car offers great features at a relatively low price. However, the low cost is evidenced by a few minor things such as manual rear windows. But, these are definitely made up for by the look and performance of the vehicle. First thing I did was put Bosh Platinum 4 spark plugs which increased my gas mileage and performance. I get anywhere between 32-35 mpg with this car. My only parts repair has been the starter so far and I have owned the vehicle since it only had 28,000 mi on it. Due to no under carriage, I destroyed my motor from high water. Totally my fault, but I (quite easily) put a new engine in and it runs great

  • Awesome car - 2004 Dodge Neon
    By -

    I own a 04 Electric Blue with the sunroof and Viper seats. The performance is just awesome! After 3500 miles, there have been no major problems. About the biggest complaint I have is the gas mileage. I can only get between 16-25 mpg. But thats not the point of this car...its all about the power!
