Overview & Reviews

One new color is available for the 1999 Dodge Neon Style Package: Inferno Red.

• Zippy performance with 5-speed and DOHC engine. Handles the twisties with aplomb.

• Loud interior. High-silled greenhouse results in that "sitting in a bathtub" feeling. Sketchy reliability history.

  Lovin my Neon. - 1999 Dodge Neon
  By limniade - September 1 - 3:55 pm

  Ive had my 4-Door Neon Sport for over six years now. I drove it off the lot with 8 miles on the odometer, and today Ill roll over 107,000. Ive had almost NO problems, except for an alignment issue and frozen wheel bearing due to an accident. The car handles very well, especially for a 3- speed automatic. I dont get a ton of pickup, but its a zippy little car thats as fun to drive as it was the day I bought it. The brakes squeal a little, the cars got a lot of air noise, but its been a champ for as long as Ive owned it. I know a number of Neon owners have had issues at 60K miles, and I bought the 99 thinking theyd have the bugs out by then, and its been very reliable for me.

  1999 Dodge Neon Coupe - 1999 Dodge Neon
  By kbuhl - November 1 - 2:00 am

  Good car until about 60,000 miles, lots of rattles. Everything starts wearing out. $2000 in repairs in the last year. I would not buy another used one, or a new one if its only gonna last 60,000 miles.

  typical low end vehicle - 1999 Dodge Neon
  By horselover - June 23 - 2:00 am

  I would not recommend this car to anyone that does not want to do car repairs. My main master seal went out, my head gasket went out Transmission was getting ready to go out when I finally sold the car. I had no problems with the car until it hit 60,000 miles before that point it was a great car.

  Had to have a Neon R/T - 1999 Dodge Neon
  By Larry Hofmeister - June 4 - 2:00 am

  Loved the look of these R/Ts when they came out and had been very pleased with my 4 door Neons purchased in 1995 and 1998. Its sharp, comfortable and responsive. Good road manners even on a long drive. 5 speed is a joy to shift. My only disappointment I dont think this car is as quick as it should be, although Im not one to pound on equipment either.

  I Hate This Car - 1999 Dodge Neon
  By kellyj - May 20 - 2:00 am

  Where do I begin with my complaints? You name it, and it has broken on my Neon. I have replaced the head gasket, the transmission, the sunroof motor (twice), water pump, and the starter twice and it is still not running at this current time. I would NEVER recommend a Neon to anyone that I know. I have had nothing but problems with this car. Most of the stuff was covered under my warrenty, but it is still the hassel of taking it to the garage every month and being without a car for a few days because it has broken down again!!

  The neon Car For America - 1999 Dodge Neon
  By donald duck luver - April 26 - 2:00 am

  Dear www.edmund.com, This car is basically the best car. Its fast,comfortable, and a really cool car. Its sensible and safe for any teenager. Like me, anyway about the car its easy to drive (and doesent have a stupid stick shifts.) Well thats all why the neon is a good car so long!

  Good for what it is. - 1999 Dodge Neon
  By big_dog - March 10 - 2:00 am

  Purchased new my only vehicle since 1999. Excellent gas mileage, fun to drive - faster than a 6 cylinder Mustang. Very nimble around town and a stable freeway cruiser. Of course, I also have the 5 speed and DOHC. Absolutely no problems and going on 80K miles. For comparison, I drove an Audi TT w/180hp and could not "feel" a difference in acceleration or handling (though I dont mean to suggest that the Neon is a better car!). However, the wind noise at 55mph or above is awful. I plan on keeping this vehicle to play with when I replace it with a new Audi or Porsche, etc.

  Mini Viper Strikes without warning - 1999 Dodge Neon
  By Steven D. - February 20 - 2:00 am

  Compact, fast, tight handling, awsome gearbox, unlimited possiblities. pulling up to a stop light next to a camaron iroc-z, and beating the crap out of it, makes you feel that much better because your getting 20 mph more than they ever will.

  Great Fun Driving Car - 1999 Dodge Neon
  By mactart - January 2 - 2:00 am

  Fun to Drive, Peppy, 4Doors a great asset, back seat plenty of room, back seat split also used quite a few times. Love the cloth seats, and sun roof when it worked. Its broken twice, fortunately broke closed. Use my MP3 Player in the cassette player slot which I cannot do with a CD. Had a blown head gasket, and two sun roof failures. I still love driving it the head gasket was repaired after warranty ran out, but actually started to leak before warranty was up, but didnt realize what it was.
