• Large interior, competent handling, attractive interior and exterior styling.

• Noisy engine, archaic three-speed automatic transmission, lack of feature content.

  Neon in Neutral - 2000 Dodge Neon
  By Macadew - October 16 - 6:43 pm

  The Neon has been fairly reliable and gets excellent gas mileage. Its a five speed which helps with mileage and makes it more valuable.The car has held up well overall and now has 103,000 miles. It makes a loud whining sound whenever turning the steering wheel which is obnoxious. The ride isnt very smooth, but I guess thats the case with most small cars.

  I absolutely love my car! - 2000 Dodge Neon
  By Rosie - June 23 - 11:49 pm

  My Neon is the first car Ive ever had and I love it. Its as standard as it comes, no power windows or locks, no overdrive, and it had been a rental car as well. Ive had this car since 2001 and I have not had one problem with it. The obvious things like spark plugs or changing a bulb in a light but thats it. It gets me where I need to go, and it looks good in the process. I would recommend Neon to anyone, and Id buy another one if given the opportunity.

  2000 Neon - 2000 Dodge Neon
  By Neon #2 - January 30 - 5:03 pm

  I 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 pm

  I 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!

  I love my Neon! - 2000 Dodge Neon
  By ambee3 - February 3 - 11:01 pm

  I bought my Neon a year ago. So far Ive had no problems with it, just new tires. I bought it when I wrecked my Intrepid and I needed a car in a fix. I bought my Neon for $4,500 with 27,000 miles on it. Ive never cared much for Neons because I used to work at an auto parts store and people that had them would always complain about them. But it was a good deal when I needed one. A year later, Im glad that I bought this car.

  Better than Honda - 2000 Dodge Neon
  By Better than old Hond - October 24 - 4:44 pm

  I was having so much trouble with my Honda Odyessy that i needed to buy a vehicle to drive while the Honda was getting its second transmission. I went next door to the Dodge dealership and bought this. I love it. It is more reliable than my Honda ever was. I thinking of selling the van and just driving this. I hated getting stranded in the van all of the time. I would buy another Dodge in a minute over a Japanese brand

  Good looking, performing w/"no-frills" - 2000 Dodge Neon
  By Bradske - May 5 - 1:09 am

  Put 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.

  Piece Of Junk - 2000 Dodge Neon
  By Shy - April 27 - 10:51 pm

  Ive had the worst experience with mine. I have only owned it 3 years and replaced a cam sensor, speed sensor, spark plugs, freeze plugs, all the belts, thermostat, rotor, motor mounts, the upper and lower one, 2 window motors, and a door motor. Still waiting to replace the power steering pump too but am broke because mine is in the shop every 3 months. If you love spending money for your car to be in the shop all the time, this is the car for you.

  Love it Hate it - 2000 Dodge Neon
  By Mkidd - March 10 - 3:30 pm

  I love driving my Neon but I am only 51, so it fits me great. But my husband is 63. Not so good for him and my tall son, so it needs more room. I have had my Neon for years, and it now has 100,000 miles on it. It has taken me all over the USA and at 100,000 miles the motor mounts went bad which made for a very shaky ride until the water pump and timing belt went out also. Lucky it was not too much to fix. It is a great starter car at a great price.
