This Year's Model Updates:

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.

Pros:
  • Large interior, competent handling, attractive interior and exterior styling.
Cons:
  • Noisy engine, archaic three-speed automatic transmission, lack of feature content.

  • Dodge Neon ES - 2000 Dodge Neon
    By -

    My experience with this vehicle has been marginal at best. It is only 3 yrs old and has had steering column issues, power locks and windows failure (of course only front windows since the rear have no power at all!), other minor electrical prblems, and now needs a new AC compressor. Not something you would expect for a car with 50K miles and 3 yrs old. It also needed rear brake repairs at 20K. Admittedly fun to drive and has some pep, and nice looking, but I expect more out of a car - even if it is a Neon.

  • will never buy a dodge again - 2000 Dodge Neon

    We have had a problem with the car since we bought it. As far as we know there was only one other owner, and why she traded it in, I can guess why. First it was the struts, then the brakes, transmission, knocking noise, air conditioning, I could go on and on.

    All I can say is that it is fun car to drive.It is alot more powerful, has very good acceleration in comparison to other vehicles in its class that I have test driven prior to purchasing this vehicle. It was alot more affordable too.

  • DODGE DOES NOT EQUAL QUALITY - 2000 Dodge Neon
    By -

    I have had my ES neon for 3 and a half years and 64k miles I bought it new and I have been fairly happy with it. It has good power as long as you realize its not a sports car its an econ car. my sunroof craped out after the 1st year and the dealership said it would be $675.00 to replace it! had an electrical problem with the a/c after the 1st year and had the bearing replaced in the wheel at 18k miles.

  • Financial Disaster - Disposable Car - 2000 Dodge Neon
    By -

    Initially 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!!!

  • Nice and good car - 2000 Dodge Neon
    By -

    I got this car at 16900 miles. Now it has 33500 miles on it. It has been a very good, reliable car. It hasnt had any problem. Its fun to drive and a very good sound system. But the engine sound is a little bit loud but pretty normal for this size of cars. Overall I like it a lot.

  • Nice Design, low quality - 2000 Dodge Neon
    By -

    This car drives nice, has excellent gas mileage, is very roomy, and has good handling and decent acceleration for an economy car. The downside is quality. Everything rusts very quickly, I have already fixed the front brakes once, the rear drums twice, and several minor things have gone wrong. Although it has never broke down and always starts, I dont have confidence in this car after 3 years and 24k miles.

  • Ignore the nay-sayers! - 2000 Dodge Neon
    By -

    This is a great car. Far better than any other entry-level vehicle Ive ever experienced, especially the Honda Civic. This car has a great aftermarket following and is capable of very impressive performance. I have modified mine greatly and I still get an average of 31mpg. Excellent build quality and reliability. Fast and fun. I highly recommend it.
