  Suprise, Surprise, Surpise!! - 2004 Dodge Neon
  By Carmen - August 2 - 10:42 am

  I went to the dealer looking for a different car. Well, not so good credit landed me my neon. WOW!!! I am so happy that I got it. Ive had it for about 4 years and only took it to the garage once. The mechanic was not too happy to hear it was a Neon, well after he test drove it after the fix, he was in love with MY car!! No complaints, but that for a small car its not very fuel efficient. Other than that, I recommend this car. LOVE IT!

  NEON SXT - 2004 Dodge Neon
  By srt10dodgeviper - July 22 - 11:09 am

  Im a car salesman and bought a neon. Its a pretty good car overall. I get between 27-33 mpg depending if Im driving on the highway or in the city. Im a neat freak because I was a detail shop manager for years. The neon would be better if the seat fabric was better and could be cleaned easier. The trim moldings fade really easily too. I bought the car for what the dealership paid and its value is dropping daily. Overall it is a really good dependable car, but the re-sale isnt there. If youre looking for a really basic, reliable car I would say buy a neon. If your a resale buyer I would stay away from it.

  Buyer Beware - 2004 Dodge Neon
  By Jason Jackson - June 10 - 2:00 am

  It says 22MPG on city I am averaging 15 MPG and that is mostly HWY Driving. After one week of having the car the check engine light came on. Took it to the dealer they said it was an air inlet sensor that needed to be replaced. The turbo boost jumps even at idle. And some times the RPMs get stuck at 3k. And the car only has one key entry the drivers.No trunk opener inside you have to set your groceries down and open it with the key. But other then that things are great...note the sarcasim.

  Cute But Fragile - 2004 Dodge Neon
  By Michele - April 24 - 12:32 pm

  This car does not fare well in accidents, even minor fender benders. My car was totaled in a 35 mph collision that caused both airbags to release. Repairs to the fragile exterior were expensive and negated the savings of the initial purchase price. The car handles well, though, and has s spunky little engine.

  I have 90k on it - 2004 Dodge Neon
  By ALL HIGHWAY - March 21 - 12:07 pm

  I have had this car 4 years and still love it!!! I commute to work 84 miles every day. I have over 90K miles on it. I have NEVER raced it or beat it up. Even so,it DOES get expensive to maintain. The front end/ control arms and bushings wear out (@60K), synthetic oil changes are more expensive, the brakes cost big bucks to replace, the viper seats are SO comfortable, but they are poor quality and the vinyl cracks. Tires are expensive to replace. Shifting isnt smooth. Contrary to most Dodge products, I have very little oil leaking even after 90K miles. I have driven from NJ straight through to MO, MPG has NEVER been better than 24 MPG. Still, I love this car no matter what.

  reliable car - 2004 Dodge Neon
  By red - March 17 - 3:02 pm

  This is a car has a very low maintenance but expensive parts when they got to be replace. I had to replace the tires only 1 time @ 75,000 miles, change the plugs and wires, fr brakes once. Now I got to replace the fr. struts. I think this is not bad after having 95,000 miles on the car.

  Best bang for the buck, hands down. - 2004 Dodge Neon
  By George - March 14 - 8:18 pm

  I just love it I cant be more happy with it. I have a Vette with a worked 383 that was never as much fun as thing car is right out of the box. Put a couple grand in upgrade parts into and youll blow the doors off anything on the road. The only cars that can take it on the highway, bone stock, are the STI and EVO. WRXs get smoked.

  Please convey to Chrysler....this car is a "must" to stay in the line up! Americans will want to stay with this American design.

  2004 Neon - 2004 Dodge Neon
  By sdimig - April 10 - 2:00 am

  Great car. I owned an original Neon and got 165K miles and 10 years of good service out of it. I walked out of the dealer with this one for $13,040 including tax and tags. Did I mention there is a $2500 rebate? The imports (Honda and Toyota) are overrated and overpriced in my opinion. Both the Ford Focus and the Neon are very nice cars for a low price.

  Not just a Neon. - 2004 Dodge Neon
  By grappler_123 - April 3 - 2:00 am

  I just bought a new SRT-4 and I love it. Performs like it should cost $30000. The performance of this vehicle without upgrades is outstanding, and with the proper mods can be breathtaking. Finally an American carmaker that gets it. I dont care what anyone says about it being a Neon, its not. Its a superstreet on a Neon platform.
