Overview & Reviews
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.
- Large interior, competent handling, attractive interior and exterior styling.
- Noisy engine, archaic three-speed automatic transmission, lack of feature content.

2000 Neon - 2000 Dodge Neon
By Neon #2 - January 30 - 5:03 pmI purchased this car last year. It only has 31,000 on it and was in excellent condition. I was originally looking for a newer car but this car was in our budget. I was vert leary at first having owned a 1996 model that fell apart at 70,000 miles. This difference in the models is great. The only problem we had with this car is an oil pan because a previous mechanic overtightened the drainbolt. We added a CD player and added BFGoodrich Traction TAs and it is great car. It gets over 30mpg. If you have owned a first generation model you will really be superised.

Great car for the money - 2000 Dodge Neon
By ambersheree - October 7 - 2:55 pmI bought this car almost 2 years ago with 27,000 miles on it for $4500. A Dodge Neon was the last thing that I thought I would buy, but it was in my price range, and I didnt have a lot of time to shop around. My Neon now has about 55,000 miles on it, and the only thing that Ive had to do to my car is new front brakes (normal) and new tires (I live in Michigan, Neons dont like snow). The tires were pretty expensive, but theres usually a less expensive option for them. Right now my car is making a pretty loud noise from the front axle, which ill be fixing soon (Im pretty sure its the wheel bearing). Overall Im very happy with my car. I only wish that it wasnt purple!

Good looking, performing w/"no-frills" - 2000 Dodge Neon
By Bradske - May 5 - 1:09 amPut a new water pump on at 65K that cost a bit. Other than that, I havent had a problem. I just started having water leakage into the passenger side floorboard -- that MAY turn into a big prob. Mechanically very reliable, efficient, fast, and good looking ride for the $10k I paid for it new. Good value.

Awesome little car - 2000 Dodge Neon
By neonknighthawk - January 21 - 3:38 pmI have had my 2000 ES for almost 5 years and 121,000 miles now and its been an awesome drive so far. The only thing I can think of that has gone wrong was the factory stereo has been replaced twice in 5 years. Other than that, I love this car. Its always got me there and back and has never complained doing it. It looks awesome (has won me several trophies in local car shows) and people love the color.(Salsa Red) I have had lots of complements about my Neon. Its been the best car I have owned so far (since I started driving in 1984). I would highly recommend the Neon. All you need to do is take care of the maintenance to the letter, and you are set. My Neon also has all the factory options

Careful on Dodge Neons - 2000 Dodge Neon
By Sarah423 - October 28 - 2:00 amI like my Dodge Neon EXCEPT for the back brake design. They squeal when it rains or snows when you come to a stop. It is SO NERVE wrecking! The car is good otherwise although I think I am headed for transmission problems since there seems to be a hesitation and they are noted for transmission problems. Overall, I feel lucky with mine, after reading others problems with them. Would I buy one again....NO

owner - 2000 Dodge Neon
By Lane Holt - October 8 - 2:00 amVery responsive handling, feels very solid & secure at highway speeds. Light weight results in better performance than the more expensive mid- size car with standard engine.

Not bad for a little guy - 2000 Dodge Neon
By lblazich - March 17 - 2:00 amThe Neon was my first new car. I have really enjoyed driving it. I have not had any problems with it. It is small enough for me to get into small parking spaces but large enough for my family of four to be comfortable. This car has driven on two continents and in three countries and has been nothing but wonderfull. I am very glad I got a manual transmission.

Looking forward to my next Neon - 2000 Dodge Neon
By LadyLuck - December 17 - 2:00 amAt 7,000 miles, I took my Neon in because I was leaving a puddle of coolant wherever I went. There was also a knocking in the steering column which was explained to me as some sort of rusted out pin that holds the steering column in place. Since then, wonderful smooth sailing. I hear everyone on the engine noise thing, I test drove a Civic, a Cavalier, and a Golf before buying this Neon new. The Neon was the loudest of them in my opinion, but the dealership gave me the best offer for my trade-in, by several thousand-and they were much friendlier about answering my questions.
