  Love it! - 2000 Plymouth Neon
  By mk - February 1 - 9:43 pm

  I got my Neon used in 2004, and have put 80,000 miles on it for a total of 170,000. I have hit large road debris twice,a huge deer carcass once and a tire carcass another time. Aside from repairs to the radiator and bumper due to those incidents, I have had no repair needs outside of routine oil changes, new tires, balance and alignment. This car is inexpensive and gets great mileage and costs extremely little to maintain. The manual transmission makes it a fun little car to drive, and it does seat 4 comfortably, with a decent sized trunk. I love this little car!

  One of the Best! :) - 2000 Plymouth Neon
  By Pete13 - January 6 - 2:03 pm

  This is the second Neon I have owned and this is the even better that the first. Very good reliability and spunky at the same time. The body is well designed and it is very quiet and quick on the highways/interstate. Would feel safe to drive anywhere.

  Love Our 2000 NEON - 2000 Plymouth Neon
  By Satisfied In Salem - January 1 - 10:00 am

  We just purchased a 2000 Plymouth Neon, and love it so far. It is an automatic, and while some reviews say the auto. offers less power, we think its quite peppy. We love the roominess of the interior, and the sleek design of the exterior. I would recommend this car to anyone looking to buy an economical and reliable car.

  Cheap but with many Questions - 2001 Plymouth Neon
  By whitespirit - October 13 - 2:00 am

  I just bought a 2001 Plymouth neon today. It was an Automatic with only a rear window defroster as an option. It had 7200 miles and only cost $7500. My old car was a 99 Chervy prizm compared to it the noen has morepower and room. The interior parts look cheaper and the mileage is worse. Over all it feels good and was a great price. I am 6"3 300 pounds and this car is easy to get into, and my shorter friends can drive it too. The interior is very roomy.

  My First Car - 2000 Plymouth Neon
  By JustinP - August 11 - 9:53 am

  I bought this car for 1500 and despite having only one previous owner, this person didnt do ANY maintenance on the car, and left all of that up to the next owner, me. The front power windows havent worked since the purchase. A/C went out after 1 year. Chipping paint is pretty common on the front bumper. The front passenger speaker blew around 80k mi, and the in-dash speaker on the same side went as well around 92k. I have all aftermarket speakers in the car now. I had problems with the alternator twice, but only had to replace it once. It is comfy however; lots of room for 5 passengers. The CD changer broke on me when I tried playing burnt CDs, which lead to the replacement of the stereo.

  Fun to drive - 5 speed - 2000 Plymouth Neon
  By TomG - July 11 - 9:13 pm

  Bought this car for my wife when it was new in 2000. Except for the fact that since it was new, it has always seemed like it has an occasional engine misfire (the dealer replaced the spark plugs and wires under warranty), the car has been great and with over 92,000 miles, the only thing I have needed to do besides normal maintenance (oil changes, etc.) is replace the front brake pads which I did myself for about $25. The best thing I did was to replace the OEM tires with some 195-60R15 Firestone Indy 500 tires. What a difference that made in handling! After the warranty expires, Ive been using synthetic oil with 10 - 15000 miles between oil changes, but changing filters at 5,000 miles.

  As much car as one person needs - 2000 Plymouth Neon
  By Str8ShootR - May 11 - 3:00 am

  I commute 70 miles each day, and this car can make it through an entire week without a refill (auto trans). Bought in 04 at 60K miles; 120K thru 08. Accelerates well enough to get into the flow of traffic on short on-ramps. Decent steering response. The budget sound system has some kick, which is needed at speeds over 35 mph because the cab is quite noisy. CD player is moody with normal discs and dislikes CD- R/RW media. Heater can be a furnace on the coldest of Midwest winter days, but only when the engine is pulling the car at 45+ mph. Surprising roominess on the driver side can accomodate even a larger man, though at the expense of anyone unfortunate enough to be sitting in the back.

  Better car than 1st Gen Neon - 2001 Plymouth Neon
  By whippingpostguy - March 2 - 10:00 am

  I have averaged 20,000 miles a year on a Neon since 1996. The second generation, while a little heavier, is a much better car. Excellent car to buy used, its a better built car than its reputation, and you can get a bargain price.
