2001 Plymouth Neon Consumer Reviews

STILL a good car!

Vehicle

Review

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 it's 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-- it's STILL a good car!

2001 Plymouth Neon Highline 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl 5M)

Review

I bought my 01 Neon a year and a half ago or so and I have loved it. My Neon was really basic, no power windows or other options but it was really reliable. I only replaced the battery and the tires on it so maintenance was low. I bought used but had regular service and it treated me well. A/C and heat worked perfectly. 2.0 liter gave it extra kick for a 4 cyl. Inside room was quite large for the size of the car, back seat spacious for compact car. I wrecked it and have to buy a new car but would get another Neon anytime.

275k & still rollin

Vehicle

Review

This is the best car I've 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 can't complain.

Great little car--surpasses reputation

Vehicle

2001 Plymouth Neon Highline 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl 5M)

Review

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

2001 Plymouth Neon Highline 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl 5M)

Review

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 isn't 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

Better car than 1st Gen Neon

Vehicle

2001 Plymouth Neon Highline 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl 5M)

Review

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, it's a better built car than it's reputation, and you can get a bargain price.

Plymouth Neon LX owner

Vehicle

Review

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 you'll love it in the long run.

Travelin

Vehicle

Review

We bought a 2001 Neon LX in 2002, the car overall does exceptionaly well, has enough power. The sound system is magnificient, comes loaded with a 4 disc in-dash changer and a 6 speaker system. It's very reliable and comfortable for heavy traveling. Fuel Economey is above average for a 2500 lbs car that was fully loaded, but it could be better. A good idea would be to put 4 disc brakes with ABS. We would suggest it as a good starter car for anyone with a small family.

This car STINKS

Vehicle

Review

My Neon is a very attractive, fun to drive car but it is too weak. And a compact car means nothing if you can't get good gas milage. And the car gives off a strong sulphuric smell that apparently no one can fix. Also it needs a 2-door model. A Civic is a better buy.
