Used 1999 Dodge Neon Consumer Reviews
Mini Viper Strikes without warning
Compact, fast, tight handling, awsome gearbox, unlimited possiblities. pulling up to a stop light next to a camaron iroc-z, and beating the crap out of it, makes you feel that much better because your getting 20 mph more than they ever will.
Good for what it is.
Purchased new; my only vehicle since 1999. Excellent gas mileage, fun to drive - faster than a 6 cylinder Mustang. Very nimble around town and a stable freeway cruiser. Of course, I also have the 5 speed and DOHC. Absolutely no problems and going on 80K miles. For comparison, I drove an Audi TT w/180hp and could not "feel" a difference in acceleration or handling (though I don't mean to suggest that the Neon is a better car!). However, the wind noise at 55mph or above is awful. I plan on keeping this vehicle to play with when I replace it with a new Audi or Porsche, etc.
Fun car; less than poor quality
Fun driving car, great on the track, great gas mileage. It's got rattles throughout the car and it's spent more time in the shop than reasonable. Blown head gasket, warped trim, a/c compressor failure, electric sunroof failure, injectors clogged even on premium gas!! Essentially, if you want fun to drive and reliablitity together you should buy something else.
A pretty fair car
I bought my 1999 Neon with the idea of saving money on gas and maintance,which I must say I was right in that respect, for gas mileage and easy maintance this (so far) had been a great little car, but(and there always is a but) on a drive over 25 miles the seats are really uncomfortable. They feel like you are sitting on two pieces of plywood. My car has a/c and that really doesn`t have the capacity to really cool the interior of the car on a really hot day (and yes I did have the service ppl at my local a/c shop look at it and they say it`s as good as it can be.)
The neon Car For America
Dear www.edmund.com, This car is basically the best car. Its fast,comfortable, and a really cool car. Its sensible and safe for any teenager. Like me, anyway about the car its easy to drive (and doesent have a stupid stick shifts.) Well thats all why the neon is a good car so long!
