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 first car - 2000 Dodge Neon
By Josh B - February 14 - 1:30 pmA great first car. Good looking, friends love it. I got the stick shift and its a blast to drive. Handles great, except not in the rain so much, and it tends to get stuck a lot on large piles of snow. Easy to modify, I added a tachometer, foglights, and remote control locks. Great pickup and very fast, I beat my friends Saab 900 in a couple of races. All in all a great car, cheap to maintain. Ive put 12000 miles on it in the last 8 months (which brings it to 96000 miles) and havent had to do anything to it other than change the spark plugs. Id definitely buy another one.

Awesome little car - 2000 Dodge Neon
By neonknighthawk - January 21 - 3:38 pmI have had my 2000 ES for almost 5 years and 121,000 miles now and its been an awesome drive so far. The only thing I can think of that has gone wrong was the factory stereo has been replaced twice in 5 years. Other than that, I love this car. Its always got me there and back and has never complained doing it. It looks awesome (has won me several trophies in local car shows) and people love the color.(Salsa Red) I have had lots of complements about my Neon. Its been the best car I have owned so far (since I started driving in 1984). I would highly recommend the Neon. All you need to do is take care of the maintenance to the letter, and you are set. My Neon also has all the factory options

Careful on Dodge Neons - 2000 Dodge Neon
By Sarah423 - October 28 - 2:00 amI like my Dodge Neon EXCEPT for the back brake design. They squeal when it rains or snows when you come to a stop. It is SO NERVE wrecking! The car is good otherwise although I think I am headed for transmission problems since there seems to be a hesitation and they are noted for transmission problems. Overall, I feel lucky with mine, after reading others problems with them. Would I buy one again....NO

owner - 2000 Dodge Neon
By Lane Holt - October 8 - 2:00 amVery responsive handling, feels very solid & secure at highway speeds. Light weight results in better performance than the more expensive mid- size car with standard engine.

a very Bad Choice - 2000 Dodge Neon
By Jarett_87 - September 18 - 2:00 amWhen I first bought this car it worked and ran great for about two weeks then the starter stoped working at 43200 miles. This car was converted to propane before I bought it I thought that it would be good for the inviroment but the car gets less than ten miles per gallon.The car rides ruff i feel every bump on the highway and theres a whole lot in missouri. Another problem with the car is that there are no ash trays.

The Neon Glows, If Not Shines - 2000 Dodge Neon
By CarDiva76 - May 1 - 2:00 amWhy the disdain for the Neon? Reliable vehicle with a relatively fresh exterior. Perhaps the first generation had several bugs, but this vehicle only sees the dealership for routine maintenance.

Not bad for a little guy - 2000 Dodge Neon
By lblazich - March 17 - 2:00 amThe Neon was my first new car. I have really enjoyed driving it. I have not had any problems with it. It is small enough for me to get into small parking spaces but large enough for my family of four to be comfortable. This car has driven on two continents and in three countries and has been nothing but wonderfull. I am very glad I got a manual transmission.
