  2001 Plymouth Neon A LOT OF LITTLE CAR - 2001 Plymouth Neon
  By jamesrizzuti - May 9 - 4:02 am

  The little Plymouth Neon is fun to drive, feels very solid on the road, and in general has a well designed interior. For a compact car, it has remarkable interior room for 4 adults, and the back seats fold down to allow more truck originated space. Its probably the best little car Ive ever driven.

  BadBrakes2 - 2001 Plymouth Neon
  By notmyneon - October 25 - 2:00 am

  I bought this car the middle of last year and had to replace the brakes already once, the repair shop couldnt believe that they had already worn out! Neither could I. They also squeal almost everytime you push on them from slowing dow, my rating on the brakes? .02!

  Plymouth Neon LX owner - 2001 Plymouth Neon
  By Brad Billeen - August 15 - 10:00 am

  This is my third Neon. The 1996 was the best one so far, but the 2001 is close behind. I have an automatic and wish I would have gotten a standard. The automatics are loud, but the car is still fun to drive. Take a Neon for a drive youll love it in the long run.

  STILL a good car! - 2001 Plymouth Neon
  By ehbowen - May 19 - 5:40 am

  I purchased my 2001 Neon new in November 2000 and kept it for more than eight years. It was the stickshift LX model, and I added a Chrysler-brand cruise control. Other than routine maintenance, the only service it needed was when the engine computer went into an error state. The car was still driveable and I drove it to the dealership, which repaired it under the emissions warranty even though the car had over 60000 miles on it at the time. The only negative I have to say about the car is that its a little too low-slung; very easy to scrape the front end on sloped driveways. I sold the car to my 16-yr old niece last year, and she loves it-- its STILL a good 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.

  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.

  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.

  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.

  A little about my car and a comment on another post. - 2001 Plymouth Neon
  By patrickl79 - April 7 - 8:05 pm

  I purchased my 2001 used from a private seller. It had 120,000 miles and I only paid $500 for it. It was non - running the problem turned out to be bad battery terminals a easy fix for about $4. I love my car, its quick and sporty, handles well and seems to be well built and very reliable requiring only standard maintenance, something that most people simple forget or dont care to do. My only complaint is I wish the center console was bigger.

  Moderate - 2001 Plymouth Neon
  By Tim Vondrak - February 17 - 10:00 am

  It is a decent little car but it is small. It has good fuel economy and is a good car for running around in. The interior is a darker color that is eadier to hide dirt and is pretty comfortable. The trunk is a good size either if your working out of it or if you want to put a couple of subwoofers in the back. The driving isnt to rough until you get to 100mph. If your looking for a reliable car this is it. It only has minor problems if you overd
