2000 Dodge Neon consumer reviews

I bought this 23 year old car for 1kfrom a junkyard employee who was trying to run it till the wheels fall off and had no regard for it's upkeep. It's rusty, the paint is worn off from the sun in patches, and overall it looks like xxxx. And ive had some trouble with it. I need 4 new wheels, I had to replace the spark plugs, the battery, a missing coolant reservoir lid...easy, maintenance things. But let me tell you. This car is 23 years old and has 215,000 miles, and it takes me everywhere I need to go just fine, and has no dashboard lights on. I know ppl with newer cars with check engine lights on. I don't take this car on long drives, best not to risk it, but it's a pretty reliable car. Even if this particular model has a bad reputation, I think I got the exception to the rule. I hope it lasts a while longer.

This car has met all of my needs. It is very roomy and liable. It drives great. The trunk is a good size as well. I have not had a problem with it!

I still drive this car every day! It's a 155,000 miles and could use a paint job. It's a great car and my family gets around in it just fine after 18 years. It's great on mileage and good for road trips. There are a few things that have been replaced such as the clutch, a head gasket, and now a radiator which are all inexpensive if you replace them yourself. Less than $250 for all those parts online.

Owned this car for 3 years so far, got it for $1000 put $1200 in work and so far only thing I've needed was a new tire and a few new lights, it runs great gas mileage is alot closer to 20 than the 25 it's supposed to get but I got a great heater and ac unit, it's quite fast 130 fastest it's done, gets decent milege highway wise til 75mph, pros -good mileage for a 2000 -parts are cheap -Fast for a 2000 -great AC and comfortable seats -3 cup holders can't argue with that Cons -go over 75 and mileage goes down the drain -small trunk and hard to fit anything in the backseat due to doors not opening fully -back mirrors require you to roll them up or down -radio gets iffy alot -only one "outlet"

Needs more room the car is 4 door but is small the option of letting the backseat told down helps out alot because I clean houses for a living and allows me to carry even my large equipment

This car was great if you only look at the engine and transmission. Would drive this car 500 miles plus per week and take it on long trips. The down side was everything attached to the engine i.e. the entire car. As a cheap A to B car you couldn't beat the MPG and price. What will happen is as being an older car and not the most refined one, you will go for inspection and be told there is no value left in the car and it would be better money spent to upgrade to something else. I owned this car for 3 years and 2 of those years it slipped though inspection barley. but as things go they only get worse and 3rd year around $2000+ was needed just to make it road worthy. I do believe even with the high 180k+ mileage the engine would take my across the county and back without issue, but the car would have came apart during the trip, with the engine laying on the ground in the rubble that was once a car still running.

It has some rust problems but very reliable and strong car manual is super smooth and very comfortable intiror

Its a great car and never had any major problems with it. Amazed dodge made a vehicle to last almost 20 years!

Bought my 2000 Dodge Neon new. Was still getting anywhere from 37-40 mpg highway. Served me well. Still looked stylish even among the "newer" cars on the road, and still looked practically new, even after 15 years (Car came with a great clearcoat). Except for the replacement parts due to aging, this car served me well. I no longer have the car, but would have liked another Neon if they were still making them.

This car is the best on gas ever,,I get 36 on road trip's and 33 at the least town driving.I have put some new parts in like water pump and clutch and new air,new sensor.It still passed smog like a champ,at 130,000.this car get's up and go's good power.I have owned lot's of car's and they should be making more like this.It's very reasonable too fix's on low budget.
