I have spent less money on repairing this car than I have on toothpaste.
Awesome little car

I have had my 2000 ES for almost 5 years and 121,000 miles now and its been an awesome drive so far. The only thing I can think of that has gone wrong was the factory stereo has been replaced twice in 5 years. Other than that, I love this car. Its always got me there and back and has never complained doing it. It looks awesome (has won me several trophies in local car shows) and people love the color.(Salsa Red) I have had lots of complements about my Neon. Its been the best car I have owned so far (since I started driving in 1984). I would highly recommend the Neon. All you need to do is take care of the maintenance to the letter, and you are set. My Neon also has all the factory options

I love driving my Neon but I am only 5'1, so it fits me great. But my husband is 6'3. Not so good for him and my tall son, so it needs more room. I have had my Neon for years, and it now has 100,000 miles on it. It has taken me all over the USA and at 100,000 miles the motor mounts went bad which made for a very shaky ride until the water pump and timing belt went out also. Lucky it was not too much to fix. It is a great starter car at a great price.
Good looking, performing w/"no-frills"

Put a new water pump on at 65K that cost a bit. Other than that, I haven't had a problem. I just started having water leakage into the passenger side floorboard -- that MAY turn into a big prob. Mechanically very reliable, efficient, fast, and good looking ride for the $10k I paid for it new. Good value.

I've had the worst experience with mine. I have only owned it 3 years and replaced a cam sensor, speed sensor, spark plugs, freeze plugs, all the belts, thermostat, rotor, motor mounts, the upper and lower one, 2 window motors, and a door motor. Still waiting to replace the power steering pump too but am broke because mine is in the shop every 3 months. If you love spending money for your car to be in the shop all the time, this is the car for you.
Ignore the nay-sayers!

This is a great car. Far better than any other entry-level vehicle I've ever experienced, especially the Honda Civic. This car has a great aftermarket following and is capable of very impressive performance. I have modified mine greatly and I still get an average of 31mpg. Excellent build quality and reliability. Fast and fun. I highly recommend it.
Nice Design, low quality

This car drives nice, has excellent gas mileage, is very roomy, and has good handling and decent acceleration for an economy car. The downside is quality. Everything rusts very quickly, I have already fixed the front brakes once, the rear drums twice, and several minor things have gone wrong. Although it has never broke down and always starts, I don't have confidence in this car after 3 years and 24k miles.
Great car for the money

I bought this car almost 2 years ago with 27,000 miles on it for $4500. A Dodge Neon was the last thing that I thought I would buy, but it was in my price range, and I didn't have a lot of time to shop around. My Neon now has about 55,000 miles on it, and the only thing that I've had to do to my car is new front brakes (normal) and new tires (I live in Michigan, Neon's don't like snow). The tires were pretty expensive, but there's usually a less expensive option for them. Right now my car is making a pretty loud noise from the front axle, which i'll be fixing soon (I'm pretty sure it's the wheel bearing). Overall I'm very happy with my car. I only wish that it wasn't purple!

I purchased this car last year. It only has 31,000 on it and was in excellent condition. I was originally looking for a newer car but this car was in our budget. I was vert leary at first having owned a 1996 model that fell apart at 70,000 miles. This difference in the models is great. The only problem we had with this car is an oil pan because a previous mechanic overtightened the drainbolt. We added a CD player and added BFGoodrich Traction TAs and it is great car. It gets over 30mpg. If you have owned a first generation model you will really be superised.
I absolutely love my car!

My Neon is the first car I've ever had and I love it. It's as standard as it comes, no power windows or locks, no overdrive, and it had been a rental car as well. I've had this car since 2001 and I have not had one problem with it. The obvious things like spark plugs or changing a bulb in a light but that's it. It gets me where I need to go, and it looks good in the process. I would recommend Neon to anyone, and I'd buy another one if given the opportunity.

The Neon has been fairly reliable and gets excellent gas mileage. It's a five speed which helps with mileage and makes it more valuable.The car has held up well overall and now has 103,000 miles. It makes a loud whining sound whenever turning the steering wheel which is obnoxious. The ride isn't very smooth, but I guess that's the case with most small cars.
Nice and good car

I got this car at 16900 miles. Now it has 33500 miles on it. It has been a very good, reliable car. It hasn't had any problem. It's fun to drive and a very good sound system. But the engine sound is a little bit loud but pretty normal for this size of cars. Overall I like it a lot.

I can't keep up. This car is starving me and it's not paid off yet. - 2 fuel injectors - Computer - Speed Sensor Relay - Axle trouble. (Some bearing) - Brakes - Tire size is so non-standerd they charge extra. - Air Conditioner

Initially very pleased with my new Neon. It was inexpensive, handled well. That didn't last. The car is 3 years old, and feels like it is falling apart. Just before 50K miles, a dealer replaced everything under the hood but the engine. Front brakes have been done twice, and the rear fell apart in the drums. Ride quality is now poor and beats you up on longer drives. Rough and NOISY. Rear visibility and at the window pillars is very poor. The car depreciates in step with your payments. 3 year old, $16K car is now worth $4k and still going down. With depreciation, a Neon costs over $30K!!!
Good Looking Car

I bought my Neon used. It had 10k miles and I have had it over a year now and it has run flawlessly until recently. It now has 45k miles and I had to get the air conditioning condensor and door lock replaced. Both were under my extended warranty. Otherwise..The Neon has been great..drives well..roomy. Great looking inside and out. Body hardware is holding up well...expect for the door lock.

I have had my ES neon for 3 and a half years and 64k miles I bought it new and I have been fairly happy with it. It has good power as long as you realize its not a sports car its an econ car. my sunroof craped out after the 1st year and the dealership said it would be $675.00 to replace it! had an electrical problem with the a/c after the 1st year and had the bearing replaced in the wheel at 18k miles.
2000 and newer are the best

117K miles in 5.5 yrs. It's been driven hard both city and Hwy miles. Routine mechanical have incl. tires 2xs, brake work, spark plugs once. Clutch still going strong with not so nice driving. Brakes squeak in the rain or high humidity. Best car I have had. Good gas mileage. However, car now at 136K miles and developed an oil pressure problem. Was a GREAT car until now.
Not too bad for the price.

I was forced to buy a Neon because my Dodge Ram crapped out and I needed trade it in to the dealer who had towed it in to be repaired (again!). The Neon was supposed to be temporary until I fouond something I really wanted to buy. I've been satisfied with the car, payments are low, and I have no good reason to buy anything else. The car is a little noisy with some vibration, but since I always have music cranked it doesn't bother me. I had to have the driver's side door lock fixed. but except for a $50 it was paid for by the warranty. I think I'll keep it.. at least until the warranty expires.

I bought this new, paid off and still driving it, has about 200,000 clicks to it. Most trouble I've had with it are emergency brake locking my rear wheel, once. Brakes locking on cylinder when parked for extended period, a week, while on vacations. Recently replace power steering hose and sway bar. Most trouble is with brakes. Replaced timing belt, power steering, tires, and still enjoy owning it. First time new also recall having trouble with rain pooling on the rear passenger floor. Trouble was
It is a great car ,very efficient on fuel

What a great little car! I bought it as my first car for $300 with 149000 miles not too bad for 12 years old. It has few problems but I heard neons are easy to work on. Its also very comfortable and more interior room and features compared to the older past generation neon. Hope to have this car for a long time and get it running in time to get my license wish me luck with my new car eveyone bye! 2000 Dodge neon ES Automatic
