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.

I love my little Neon - 2000 Dodge Neon
By jes - February 4 - 2:00 amI love my little neon so far! I chose this over a Chevy Malibu after reading all the horrible reviews and problems that Malibus have. If you are looking for problems on cars, EVERY car has its problems, I dont know one single car that hasnt had SOMETHING go wrong with it. This car will treat you right if you treat it right. Take good care of it and do regular maintance. Feed it its oil and gas and every once in a while, give her a bath and she will be your new best friend.

Looking forward to my next Neon - 2000 Dodge Neon
By LadyLuck - December 17 - 2:00 amAt 7,000 miles, I took my Neon in because I was leaving a puddle of coolant wherever I went. There was also a knocking in the steering column which was explained to me as some sort of rusted out pin that holds the steering column in place. Since then, wonderful smooth sailing. I hear everyone on the engine noise thing, I test drove a Civic, a Cavalier, and a Golf before buying this Neon new. The Neon was the loudest of them in my opinion, but the dealership gave me the best offer for my trade-in, by several thousand-and they were much friendlier about answering my questions.

Good Car For The Money - 2000 Dodge Neon
By Jenkinsqh - December 3 - 2:00 amBought the car new in 2000. Also considered/test drove the Civic, Protoge, and Focus. Rides were all fairly comparable, but Dodge was dealing quite a bit more than the others. I have just over 105,000 on it so far. Aside from scheduled routine maintenance, no repairs to speak of. I drive around 36,000 miles annually, and can count on it to come in at anywhere from 33-36 on the highway depending on speed. This is my second Neon (had a 95), and 4th Chrysler that I have bought new since 90. All have been good serviceable vehicles.

Great Little Car - 2000 Dodge Neon
By Wigglet - October 25 - 2:00 amThis car is so great to drive. This is my first car. I feel great in it. Its such a cute car. Although it isnt that great on gas, it still gets me around. It can go fast, and handles very well. I reccomend this car to anyone, especially for a teen agers first car. They are not that expensive, and they still look good.

Fun and Reliable - 2000 Dodge Neon
By DragonDon - October 22 - 2:00 amThe only problem we had was the trunk rust at the pinch-welds. Was replaced under warranty. The oddball tire size and then charge $200 CDN per tire is ridiculous. Winter traction was horrid. I remedied this and used a slightly over-sized tire in the summer time (nice performance tire on new set of rims) and a separate set of tires for the winters. The car has been quite reliable. Never stranded us and even 3 years later, all the original bulbs are functioning perfectly. The car is the best powered in its class for its year. The Neon has the largest sunroof of just about any car Ive seen. The 3spd tranny was sluggish at certain speeds.

Love My Neon - 2000 Dodge Neon
By daughterofcyn - October 8 - 2:00 amI have had my Neon over 4 years and have only had to replace the brakes. The car is extremely reliable and has been across the country several times. I have to say that my Neon looks as good as it did when it came off the showroom floor -- inside and out. That comes from quality construction and careful care. I live in Texas -- 100+ summers -- and the a/c usually needs to be turned down because it works so well. Excellent car overall!

200 Neon ES - 2000 Dodge Neon
By TheDon - September 24 - 2:00 amIve had a pretty decent experience with my car so far. Im already up to 97K miles on it. The horn has shorted out several times. Started going through spark plugs fairly quickly after 70K. This car has two converters on it... Most cars only have one. I found this out the hard way. One converter is over $500 for just the part. When one goes out, the other one does to so expect to pay about $800 there. The AC also went out around 90K miles and it didnt need just a recharge...Other than that I havent had any major problems.

Id buy another - 2000 Dodge Neon
By cts4ba - August 15 - 2:00 amThis is our second Neon and, for the price, its worth the investment. You get a lot of car for the money when compared to what Honda, Toyota and Nissan has to offer. The incentives and rebates make Neon the top choice in my book. Ive found that dealing with a 5- Star dealer is a definate plus.

2000 Neon - 2000 Dodge Neon
By kes - August 8 - 2:00 amit rides comfortably with good lumbar support and with a fairly comfortable backseat ride. Problems are the front seat space if you are very small people its fine but if you are on the large side you are constatnly bumping shoulders. The bars between the doors and windshiled cause a blind spot and are hazardous. Interior front and back windows are difficult to clean. Gas mileage for city driving is about 12 miles to the gallon but highway goes up to about 35. Mopar products are not dependable as in 3 batteries in 3 years. Minimal amounts of moisture in the air will cause the brakes to squeal, another Mopar product. Poor weatherstriping

Fuse problem road noise - 2000 Dodge Neon
By CaliDriver - August 1 - 2:00 amI bought this car used, when it was only one year old. Ive now owned it two years, and Im sort of holding my breath. So far Ive only replaced my brake pads due to squealing. However, I recently replaced the radio fuse, only to have the radio go out on me again after two weeks. Could be a short somewhere. Bad road noise.
