  • Hate to say it. - 2004 Dodge Neon
    By -

    I have seen nothing but good reviews and thats why I bought this car. I have put 7k on it. Turbo leaks are infamous. The tranny is a headache also. Many many people report tranny issues and Im one of them. This car is a blast to drive but I feel like its going to fall apart anyday now. It has a stubborn transmission and shifts like crap especially in the cold. Maybe I got unlucky.

    Awesome car, I love it. Its fun to drive, sporty, and fast. Bought the bright silver, looks great in the sun, rims are nice, dont look too stock like, interior nice enough that it doesnt look cheap.

  • Great car - 2004 Dodge Neon

    It has a lot of pep for a 4 cylinder. It has a roomy back seat. Front seats are comfortable and visibilty is great for a short person like me. I like the tilt wheel and automatic door locks. The air conditioning is very efficient and the service I receive from the dealership is excellent.

    I am going on one month of ownership and this vehicle handles like a champ! It outperforms all cars under 25000 and most cars under 30000...barring the handling of the miata.

  • GLH!! - 2004 Dodge Neon

    This car is by far the fastest, most responsive and most fun vehicle you can get for the price. Period. It will run with the bigger dogs, able to keep up with cars 10-15K dollars more that its price (perfect example: this will out run the most expensive, upgraded $32,000 version of the RX-8). It looks great (although I do have to admit that other than the dual exhaust and wicked huge spoiler, the back end looks a little plain) inside and out. And I cant say enough of how I love those seats! Spectacular support without sacrifice of comfort. The tires look great, and perform wonderfully no matter what the road conditions (I was amazed at the grip they had in the winter months). Awesome.

  • CAN I SAY HOT HOT HOT!!! Awesome Car - 2004 Dodge Neon

    Very impressive what Dodge created. I WAS a WRX fan but everything changed once i test drove this beast. Confortable seats (it grabs you). Awesome performance. By the second week I had to upgrade my racing challenges because not even a turbocharged civic could keep up with me. hehehehe...I have NO REGRETS...Awesome car...Its worth to grab life by the horns hahahaha i just look back and the mustangs just get smaller and smaller.

  • Great for the price - 2004 Dodge Neon

    The power-to-weight ratio is great. I replaced the air filter with a K&N direct replacement, then pulled the OEM exhaust off and added a Flowmaster 30 series exhaust, and brought the intake air temperature readings down by 4.7k-ohms. The result? Basically, I bought a new 04 Neon, and added the $135 in parts above to it, and now I get about 40 mpg on 89 octane, not to mention the fact that I can run a 15.7 in the quarter-mile. The power/economy side of this car is very attractive. The interior is roomy for a compact, but not too flashy. The ride is comfortable and handling is tight. The external body lines are somewhat outdated, but acceptable, Overall, this is a great car for the money.

    Well, It will be 2 yrs in June 2006 that I have owned this car. I love it still. I have not had any problems mechanically with it what so ever. It runs great.Does very well in snow and rain. Glad I purchased it. Will buy another one in the future.Good job Dodge!

  • My Dodge is sexy! - 2004 Dodge Neon
    By -

    I have been very pleased with the reliability of my Neon. No problems for a whole year after 17,000 miles added. Good gas mileage, sporty and fun, bright yellow is the way to go. Great first car for teens or students. Not the most spaious interior. Fun and easy to drive.

  • Better than its reviews - 2004 Dodge Neon
    By -

    This is a better car than it gets credit for. It is not as refined as others but the bottom line is that it is a good car and it is more fun than a Honda or Toyota. We got a new one for $11,500, well equiped, and its way more than 2/3rds of the other cars in its class.
