  Great performance, piece of junk - 2004 Dodge Neon
  By Ashley - January 18 - 1:59 pm

  I currently own three Neons, a 99, a 99 R/tTand an 04 SRT. The SRT has been the most problematic by far. Problems on the SRT include an oil leak at 400 miles. Now i have 32,000 and it has yet to be fixed axle seal went at 6,000, numerous computer problems, steering problems, and the most recent problem has to deal with the throttle sticking open. I was very excited to get this SRT since Im a total Neon geek, however it was a huge let down. The performance is great and its fun to run at the track, but it would be great if the build and reliability of the vehicle matched its performance. Ive owned it for a year and Im ready to sell. Thanks Dodge.

  Modern day muscle car - 2004 Dodge Neon
  By Crono - January 9 - 2:48 pm

  This is by far the most fun car I have ever driven. The power is unbelievable and the suspension is very tight while only being a little harsh. The brakes bring you back down to legal speeds in a hurry, which will be necessary if this car is driven like it shound be. The steering is quick but very heavy and a bit on the numb side. Being 66" I could use a little more headroom and legroom. Its not quite as roomy as my previous car, a Ford Focus ZX3. The heavily bolstered front seats are actually really comfortable while making sure you dont slide around when taking that "suggested" 30 mph off ramp at 70 mph. Best car buy ever.

  Very surprised - 2004 Dodge Neon
  By Pat Lippy - January 9 - 9:04 am

  Was looking for a daily driver for my wife. She had a 96 Ford Windstar and my kids are grown, so I was looking for something good on gas. After looking at Corolla, Scion, Protege, and Aveo, I decided on the Neon. Got the best price (leftover 2004), more of the "creature comforts" (CD player, AC, power everything) and the dealership was offering free maintenance and tires as long as you own the car - now how can you beat that? The resale of the car concerns me but my wife had her Windstar for nine years and never complained, so I hope to have this car as long. She is happy and so am I but I never, ever, thought I would own a Dodge - had a bad Omni experience years ago.

  Whats up with those damned brakes???? - 2004 Dodge Neon
  By Andy Allison - January 5 - 9:19 am

  I really love my car & the way it drives. Its quick, responsive, & fun. The engine is perfect for this car...it has just enough power for performance without a great fuel cost, all of which leaves me to wonder why Daimler put such a flawed & NOISY brake system on em. When I first start her up , regardless of environmental conditions, as soon as I step on the brakes I hear the most awful grinding/squealing sound coming from the wheels. With every subsequent stop the noise is reduced bit until several miles into my journey it stops all together. I have taken it into the dealership just to be told that the brakes are fine & there is nothing that can be done. Whats up with that?

  WOW!! This car hauls ass!!!! - 2004 Dodge Neon
  By K.J. - January 4 - 8:38 pm

  All I have to say is that this vehicle is one fast ride! There is no turbo lag, just sheer power when you need it. Even without using the recommended 91 octane, the car still puts out 11psi of boost and pulls nicely. The handling is excellent and the ride quality is very good considering the abilities of the vehicle. The brakes do an excellent job of stopping the vehicle under heavy braking without ever fading. The exhaust is somewhat loud due to lack of mufflers, but to a car enthusiast such as myself, its music to my ears. The seats are wonderfully supportive during hard cornering but having the wide side bolsters makes is somewhat difficult to get in. An excellent ride for under 22K!

  Awesome - 2004 Dodge Neon
  By TurboQueen - January 1 - 4:13 pm

  This car is awesome. There is not one thing I can complain about. It will blow the doors off any other car for the price. Next to the WRX and EVO, its one of the best sport compact cars out right now.

  Very poorly built car - 2004 Dodge Neon
  By Twizted - December 26 - 10:00 am

  I have had the 2004 Dogde neon car for about 7 months.When I first test drove it,it was an excellent choice for my wife.But after a few weeks of driving it we found out it wasnt as good of a car as it seemed.We started hearing funny noises in the engine compartement,which isnt normal and the car shifted afully.We took the car back to the dealership but they asured us there was nothing wrong with it.This was nothing new after getting extremley poor sevice from the delership to begin with.

  Ooomph says it all - 2004 Dodge Neon
  By Rhiannon - December 21 - 10:00 am

  Great lil stylish car that just happens to have a lil oomph. With the overdrive you feel as though you should be in a higher gear than what you really need to be. But its great once you get use to it. But then again I say that about all manual transmissions.

  Have had great fun with this car....super looking exterior, comfortable interior, good gas mileage. Very reliable, none of the ittle glitches you sometimes get with new cars. The dealership is excellent as well, convenient, friendly.
