Overview & Reviews

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

• Zippy performance with 5-speed and DOHC engine. Handles the twisties with aplomb.

• Loud interior. High-silled greenhouse results in that "sitting in a bathtub" feeling. Sketchy reliability history.

  I hate this car. It has to many problems. I bought this car with 91,XXX miles on it and ive already had so many problem. So far ive had to replace the transmission coolant hoses and last night when i was driving it discovered i have to now replace the water pump and the water overflow where the antifreeze goes. I would NOT recomend this car or and DODGE NEON or DODGE to any one i know or will know in the future. THEY SUCK!!!!

  good basic transportation - 1999 Dodge Neon
  By Chris - April 30 - 11:36 am

  I have owned my 99 neon sport for nearly 7 years. I purchased this car with 46k miles and have since put nearly 120k on it. It has been a very reliable car and has only left me stranded 2 times. First time was a radiator leak @ 130k miles and the second was just a loose neutral safety switch. Good in snow w/ snow tires. Performance is pretty good and cornering is a blast. Fuel economy ranged from 28mpg on low test in normal driving conditions to 39mpg on very long highway trips w/ high octane. Clear coat started to bubble up 2 years ago and headlights have fogged over due to sun exposure and need to be replaced. Over all, I feel that this has been a very good car.

  A pretty fair car - 1999 Dodge Neon
  By Miramichier - June 29 - 4:55 am

  I bought my 1999 Neon with the idea of saving money on gas and maintance,which I must say I was right in that respect, for gas mileage and easy maintance this (so far) had been a great little car, but(and there always is a but) on a drive over 25 miles the seats are really uncomfortable. They feel like you are sitting on two pieces of plywood. My car has a/c and that really doesn`t have the capacity to really cool the interior of the car on a really hot day (and yes I did have the service ppl at my local a/c shop look at it and they say it`s as good as it can be.)

  Lovin my Neon. - 1999 Dodge Neon
  By limniade - September 1 - 3:55 pm

  Ive had my 4-Door Neon Sport for over six years now. I drove it off the lot with 8 miles on the odometer, and today Ill roll over 107,000. Ive had almost NO problems, except for an alignment issue and frozen wheel bearing due to an accident. The car handles very well, especially for a 3- speed automatic. I dont get a ton of pickup, but its a zippy little car thats as fun to drive as it was the day I bought it. The brakes squeal a little, the cars got a lot of air noise, but its been a champ for as long as Ive owned it. I know a number of Neon owners have had issues at 60K miles, and I bought the 99 thinking theyd have the bugs out by then, and its been very reliable for me.

  Had to have a Neon R/T - 1999 Dodge Neon
  By Larry Hofmeister - June 4 - 2:00 am

  Loved the look of these R/Ts when they came out and had been very pleased with my 4 door Neons purchased in 1995 and 1998. Its sharp, comfortable and responsive. Good road manners even on a long drive. 5 speed is a joy to shift. My only disappointment I dont think this car is as quick as it should be, although Im not one to pound on equipment either.

  Good for what it is. - 1999 Dodge Neon
  By big_dog - March 10 - 2:00 am

  Purchased new my only vehicle since 1999. Excellent gas mileage, fun to drive - faster than a 6 cylinder Mustang. Very nimble around town and a stable freeway cruiser. Of course, I also have the 5 speed and DOHC. Absolutely no problems and going on 80K miles. For comparison, I drove an Audi TT w/180hp and could not "feel" a difference in acceleration or handling (though I dont mean to suggest that the Neon is a better car!). However, the wind noise at 55mph or above is awful. I plan on keeping this vehicle to play with when I replace it with a new Audi or Porsche, etc.

  Great Fun Driving Car - 1999 Dodge Neon
  By mactart - January 2 - 2:00 am

  Fun to Drive, Peppy, 4Doors a great asset, back seat plenty of room, back seat split also used quite a few times. Love the cloth seats, and sun roof when it worked. Its broken twice, fortunately broke closed. Use my MP3 Player in the cassette player slot which I cannot do with a CD. Had a blown head gasket, and two sun roof failures. I still love driving it the head gasket was repaired after warranty ran out, but actually started to leak before warranty was up, but didnt realize what it was.
