This Year's Model Updates:

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

Pros:
  • Zippy performance with 5-speed and DOHC engine. Handles the twisties with aplomb.
Cons:
  • Loud interior. High-silled greenhouse results in that "sitting in a bathtub" feeling. Sketchy reliability history.

  • Save yourself the money - 1999 Dodge Neon
    By -

    I have had a horrible time with my neon. I have had trouble with the electrical system. The radio is known to turn on by itself without the car even on. The dash board, head lights, etc. will on occasion not work as well. Next, the sunroof stopped working. Finally, the transmission went at 49,000 miles.This is not what I would consider a reliable car.

    Great car so far.

  • Dependable - Id buy another - 1999 Dodge Neon
    By -

    I bought this car new for a second vehicle. The car now had over 68,000 miles and dependability has been outstanding. The only repair maintenance needed was to replace the rear brake pads and the dealer replaced a trunk spring under warranty that would not hold up the trunk lid. If there is a disappointment it is the gas milage, Im getting 24MPG with an automatic transmission and I thought I would get better. When I buy a car to replace it, a new Neon will be at the top of my list.

    5 years of reliable, problem free driving. I have personally performed all service on this vehicle and found it to be easy to work on. I have not experienced the leaky head gasket that had plagued earlier models.

  • Best value - 1999 Dodge Neon
    By -

    What a great deal! Used Neons are incredibly cheap and you get a great car for the price. With the 5 speed, you get performance that is not expected from an economy car. And with all the aftermarket performance parts available, you can get it to perform as high as you want. The look on the face of the young, smartaleck 5.0 Mustang owner as he gets blown away by a Neon is priceless!!!

  • Fun to drive and reliable too! - 1999 Dodge Neon
    By -

    This is a very fun car to drive - it is very reliable, gets decent gas mileage, and takes corners like its on rails! I purchased this car after owning a ford escort, which gave me nothing but problems. I have had the Neon for two years and have had minimal problems. The car has been completely reliable despite the commute I have put it through.

  • a real neon - 1999 Dodge Neon
    By -

    This car was my favorite car. It held up very very well. It was fast, nimble, and very sporty. The onlt thing this car didnt have was leather and a CD player, then it would be perfect. It also had lots of room for its size. It was hard to find and after my brother wrecked mine, I couldnt find it again. I ended up with a 2001 but I was very dissapointed. Its weak and gets terrible gas mileage. And half of the problems I have, the dealer either cant or wont fix it. Like a sulphuric smell that nausiates me.

    This is the best car that I have ever owned. Perfect point A to point B vehicle and has been very reliable. Never done anything except change oil and put in fuel. Gets almost 40 mpg (I drive mostly on the highway).

  • dodge fan scarred for life - 1999 Dodge Neon
    By -

    this was the first new car i bought. I have taken awesome care and have always been an avid dodge fan. this car has been a bad joke. it had major electrical problems at one month, a new stereo at two months, a blown headgasket, two major oil leaks one at 38000 just after warrenty and dodge told me" its too bad, those cars all have oil leaks" they wouldnt help at all. the repair of the leaks cost me about 2000.00 total. now it hasa transmission leak, the trunk will no longer open from the inside and the rear doors will no longer unlock with the power locks. What a dissapointment.

    over all this car is very good! There have been a few things that required servicing more than once. The sunroof has caused a few concerns as well as the head gasket leaking. Both items being covered under the warranty.
