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.

Great Little Car - 2000 Dodge Neon
By Wigglet - October 25 - 2:00 amThis car is so great to drive. This is my first car. I feel great in it. Its such a cute car. Although it isnt that great on gas, it still gets me around. It can go fast, and handles very well. I reccomend this car to anyone, especially for a teen agers first car. They are not that expensive, and they still look good.

Fun and Reliable - 2000 Dodge Neon
By DragonDon - October 22 - 2:00 amThe only problem we had was the trunk rust at the pinch-welds. Was replaced under warranty. The oddball tire size and then charge $200 CDN per tire is ridiculous. Winter traction was horrid. I remedied this and used a slightly over-sized tire in the summer time (nice performance tire on new set of rims) and a separate set of tires for the winters. The car has been quite reliable. Never stranded us and even 3 years later, all the original bulbs are functioning perfectly. The car is the best powered in its class for its year. The Neon has the largest sunroof of just about any car Ive seen. The 3spd tranny was sluggish at certain speeds.

200 Neon ES - 2000 Dodge Neon
By TheDon - September 24 - 2:00 amIve had a pretty decent experience with my car so far. Im already up to 97K miles on it. The horn has shorted out several times. Started going through spark plugs fairly quickly after 70K. This car has two converters on it... Most cars only have one. I found this out the hard way. One converter is over $500 for just the part. When one goes out, the other one does to so expect to pay about $800 there. The AC also went out around 90K miles and it didnt need just a recharge...Other than that I havent had any major problems.

Id buy another - 2000 Dodge Neon
By cts4ba - August 15 - 2:00 amThis is our second Neon and, for the price, its worth the investment. You get a lot of car for the money when compared to what Honda, Toyota and Nissan has to offer. The incentives and rebates make Neon the top choice in my book. Ive found that dealing with a 5- Star dealer is a definate plus.

Fuse problem road noise - 2000 Dodge Neon
By CaliDriver - August 1 - 2:00 amI bought this car used, when it was only one year old. Ive now owned it two years, and Im sort of holding my breath. So far Ive only replaced my brake pads due to squealing. However, I recently replaced the radio fuse, only to have the radio go out on me again after two weeks. Could be a short somewhere. Bad road noise.

Financial Disaster - Disposable Car - 2000 Dodge Neon
By Johann - May 15 - 2:00 amInitially very pleased with my new Neon. It was inexpensive, handled well. That didnt last. The car is 3 years old, and feels like it is falling apart. Just before 50K miles, a dealer replaced everything under the hood but the engine. Front brakes have been done twice, and the rear fell apart in the drums. Ride quality is now poor and beats you up on longer drives. Rough and NOISY. Rear visibility and at the window pillars is very poor. The car depreciates in step with your payments. 3 year old, $16K car is now worth $4k and still going down. With depreciation, a Neon costs over $30K!!!

Not Bad - 2000 Dodge Neon
By uscg68 - February 18 - 2:00 amThis car is reliable and has great fuel economy. With minor inexpensive add-ons it looks really sharp. It does however have a lack of horse power so dont think it will get up n go when you stomp the gas. It does have a alot of great factory options. Mine was fully loaded with all the bells and whistles. Premium Sound, Alloy Wheels, sun and moon roof. By adding tinting a rear spoiler and a bra it looks real sharp. For the buyer who wants performance Dodge makes the Stealth or Avenger. For a High School or college student away from home this is a PERFECT vehicle.
