  Best car purchase Ive made - 2000 Plymouth Neon
  By Robert - November 30 - 1:46 pm

  Bought new with 14 miles on it, 7 were my test drive, the other 7 were at the plant as it was a Quality Control test car. I get 30 miles to the gallon, regularly driving 120 miles at 65 to 85 mph (60 miles one way to work). My LX is the loaded version, Silver, 5spd man w/traction control and 4 wheel disc brakes, sun roof, premium sound w/4disc cd & cassette. For the pounding this car has taken, I have more than gotten my $16,425 out of the car. At 183000 miles I replaced the timing belt (before failure) even though rated at 100k miles, your milaege may vary & it is recommended to do at 100k because of the newer type engines easily damage when the belt goes.

  The 2000 Neon is a great economical car. I have not had any problems with it other than the normal things that would need done to a car while owning it. I would recommend this car to anyone look for something cheap to drive that looks pretty good too!

  Transmission Failure - 2000 Plymouth Neon
  By transmissiontrouble - October 25 - 10:00 am

  What a bummer, 41,000 miles and the transmission decided to stop working. The ten transmission shops I contacted were quick to explain that these transmissions are quite possibly the worst ever manufactured by any one company. The lowest quote I recieved for the rebuild was 2,300. Ok run the blue book on the car, or better yet contact some local dealers and have them tell you what its worth. Darn near nothing. Its to bad,I liked this car but will never purchase another Chrysler product again. Maybe Ill look at Hyundai, hey 10 100k powertrain warrranty, how could I go wrong?

  275k & still rollin - 2001 Plymouth Neon
  By tdot - July 29 - 11:16 am

  This is the best car Ive ever owned. We bought this car with 20k. it now has over 275k and no problems. This car was loaded. Side airbags, leather interior, the works. It really was a good value. We drive it daily from the Poconos to NYC. About 220 miles every day. I cant complain.

  Best car Ive ever owned - 2000 Plymouth Neon
  By Crzy8 - May 19 - 12:30 pm

  Owned and driven for about 7 years; average daily commute of 70 miles. Purchased at 60,000 miles; now at 163,000 and going strong. Its had a chronic oil leak since around 90,000 - tried to have a couple different mechanics chase it down, but its deep in the engine and repair estimate was more than half the $4,000 I paid for the car. But it runs fine and I dont mind a little incontinence. Otherwise, it handles nice, always starts, and has been extremely low maintenance.

  Great little car--surpasses reputation - 2001 Plymouth Neon
  By saramoor - May 18 - 3:56 pm

  This is a great little car! Ive had no problems with it (other than the typical brake pad change and new tires. I have 80,000 miles on it, so thats typical by this point. I had a Honda Civic SI previous to my Neon and it was TERRIBLE. I know people love Hondas, but this Plymouth Neon has been GREAT! Much better, at least in my experience, than my Honda. It feels solid, is comfortable and Ive had no problems. Nothing has ever broken or snapped off; its really been great.

  its all good, not great but good - 2000 Plymouth Neon
  By jmca1583 - January 31 - 10:00 am

  I heaerd all kinds of rumors that neons fell apart within a year after purchase, but Ive had mine for 3 years without a single major problem. ive done really well with maintenance aside from a few late oil changes, and the car has held up really well. Im up to 96,000 miles on the thing (i drive EVERYWHERE) and its been without a problem.

  Great 1st car - 2000 Plymouth Neon
  By nimnut - December 11 - 4:30 pm

  This was my first car and I bought it with 23,000 miles on it. I had to replace the clockswitch within a year, but that was due to a poor repair job the first time. No other major repairs in 4 years after driving about 500 miles back and forth from college to home 4 or 5 times a year. My only complaints: brakes squeak a lot when wet or if not used in a couple of days even when brand new. No trunk latch! Its horrible to have to turn off the car to open the trunk. Paint has been cracked and peeling on the bumper for about 2 years. There is some vibration and noise from the engine that started about a year after purchase. Fabulous, cheap, first car purchase.

  2000 NEON - 2000 Plymouth Neon
  By Will B. - August 22 - 1:13 pm

  The only thing i dont like about this car is the power when driving uphill. the engin gets week, when its on low RPMs uphill! (rounds per mints...) it can do it pretty well when your on 4000 rpms and higher. but thats not an abuse to the motor, but it take lots of power from the engin. other than that its an exelent stock car for the money. Mine is the LX model with power front windows,locks,AC, and no hevy alloys wheels just hubcaps. Dont forget those NEONS can be upgraged like crazy from proformance wise to looks and addons. :)
