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.

Zooooommm! - 2000 Dodge Neon
By mysilvrescapepod - February 25 - 2:00 amMy neon has 137k miles on it & its running fine (knock on wood). I live a long distance from anything so its gets me where I want to go. Great factory installed system other car companies should copy. Breaks squeak when its damp outside, its seats are a bit stiff, the motor isnt the strongest but it does the job I bought it for. I change my oil every 4,000 miles without pause which I honestly feel keeps my lil escape pod purring perfectly. Interior is nice & neat & easily able to clean when splattered w/ food or beverages. Exterior is awesome, with tint on the windows you might mistake it for one of the bad boys. Its a great start up car.

Not Bad - 2000 Dodge Neon
By uscg68 - February 18 - 2:00 amThis car is reliable and has great fuel economy. With minor inexpensive add-ons it looks really sharp. It does however have a lack of horse power so dont think it will get up n go when you stomp the gas. It does have a alot of great factory options. Mine was fully loaded with all the bells and whistles. Premium Sound, Alloy Wheels, sun and moon roof. By adding tinting a rear spoiler and a bra it looks real sharp. For the buyer who wants performance Dodge makes the Stealth or Avenger. For a High School or college student away from home this is a PERFECT vehicle.

Excellent car for $$ conscious buyer - 2000 Dodge Neon
By Kboyle - January 13 - 2:00 amThe Neon SE is a significant step up from the Geo it replaced. I drive it up and down the eastern seaboard once a month to visit my daughter, and the car performs well on the highway. The cargo room is immense for a car this size, and it has a lot better pickup than other cars I test drove. The biggest problem I have is the gear ratios. I have a manual tranny, and I find that I am constantly looking for a 6th gear once I get to around 70 on the highway. The engine noise can be significant at higher speeds, but the exceptional audio system easily overcomes it. Ive put 71.5K miles on in 2.5 years, and the only problems Ive had were from accidents -- which were easily fixed.

Dont let my score fool you - 2000 Dodge Neon
By MidLman - December 27 - 2:00 amThe car was purchased used and checked out for problems before purchase. Dealership said it was in great condition. Boy were they wrong. In only one year Ive had the brakes replaced, had various seals replaced, including the rear-main engine seal, and had to replace the starter as well. Thats 3 major repairs in only a year. And thats not including all the factory- recalled parts Ive had replaced. Otherwise its an okay car. Mine doesnt have many features, but its a good size and its fun to drive. Too bad its going to cost me a fortune in repairs in the long run.

Great First Car! - 2000 Dodge Neon
By engstrom77 - December 21 - 2:00 amMy wife and I bought this car about 1 1/2 years ago and we love it. It gets great gas mileage and handles the road very well. The car had about 27000 miles on it when we bought it and now it has 48000 and not one thing has gone wrong. It has good get up and go and decent braking power. I knew when I bought it that it wasnt a dodge Viper but it has good acceleration off the line and in traffic. The seats do sit a little hard on the lower back especially on long road trips. We love the design of the car and the inside as well.

Good Looking Car - 2000 Dodge Neon
By pfiggs69 - December 5 - 2:00 amI bought my Neon used. It had 10k miles and I have had it over a year now and it has run flawlessly until recently. It now has 45k miles and I had to get the air conditioning condensor and door lock replaced. Both were under my extended warranty. Otherwise..The Neon has been great..drives well..roomy. Great looking inside and out. Body hardware is holding up well...expect for the door lock.

Great starter car! - 2000 Dodge Neon
By Brianne - November 19 - 2:00 amThis is my first car. I bought the 2000 model used with about 48,000 miles on it (highway driving). So far, I have no complaints. The one I bought is stripped down (no keyless entry, so CD player, no power windows or door locks), its an automatic transmission (which leaves a little to be desired seeing as it is only a 3-speed auto). It drives very nicely. I have noticed a wee bit of engine noise, this is only when I am above 75mph on the highway (not very often). The brakes squeal if it has been sitting for a while (like if I dont drive it for a couple days). Once the car warms up its fine. In any case, its a great little car, perfect for me.

Excellent low budget car - 2000 Dodge Neon
By Jhatfi - November 12 - 2:00 amMy fiance and I bought her a Neon as her first new car purchase. It has been a good car for commuting and grocery getting. It suspension is a little soft and the motor is a bit noisy, but overall it has been very good to us. The gas mileage has been excellent, the stock stereo is actually very good, the seats are comfortable. I personally think that interior is rather plain and it could use a little refinement bringing it closer to class leaders such as the Mazda Protege and Honda Civic, but what can you expect for around $10k.
