I bought this car for its gas mileage abilities and I have not been let down. I've been getting around 32-34mpg in town and 38-41mpg on the hwy. I drove it from Colorado Springs, Colorado to Bakersfield, California for less than $90.00 with gas at $3.50 a gallon. As a home mechanic I also appreciate how easy the car is to work on. At 150k miles I really went through the engine and replaced the timing belt, water pump, oil pan gasket, power steering pump, valve cover gasket set, thermostat, and it was all really easy to get to with out much trouble at all. I tell friends and family that if I get another car it'll be another Neon!!!
Good car

I bought my coupe off a craigslist add, and brought it home on a trailer. After repairing a few issues brought on by a young guy hot rodding it, it runs great. I've saved all kinds of money on gas and it's a hoot to drive. The shifter and driving dynamics make me feel like I'm in a sports car and nobody sees it coming since it's just a little dodge. I've put about 10,000 miles on the car this past year. The car's age is showing, and I have since moved. The new dealer isn't up to the same standards as the old one. They kept the car two weeks without completing any repairs and I finally went with my extra key and took the car back. That isn't the car's fault. But it did point out that they didn't take the car seriously like they would have a more expensive or modern model. I have to admit it, I was ashamed to be seen in the car due to the poor paint job. I gave it away and updated to a 2004 Neon. I drove the car across country to deliver it, and it ran flawlessly the entire way.

This car was good for the first year I had it. In the past 2 years it has been nothing but a headache. I wouldn't recommend this car to any one. Has a low resale value. In the past 2 years I have put at least $3000 of work into it. The a/c no longer works and now needs to be replaced.
Fun to drive

I bought the car to comute to work ($4200/63K miles). I've done zero maintance in the two years I've driven it (no oil changes). It has never broke down. I wash it twice a year whether it needs it or not. It's been the cheepest car I've owned.
