I love my R/T

If you like to pull onto the highway with confidence that you can merge without getting rear ended, this car is for you. I haven't taken it to the 1/4 mile yet, but it has all kinds of power. If you want to lay down some rubber you'll have to push the trac-off button. But the traction control will be a big plus when I do hit the strip, in a couple weeks. If you are over six feet you might not be comfortable. The wheels aren't that hard to clean. They're clear coat so just spray on some mean green scrub for 10 seconds with a sponge & hose off good. For a compact car, you couldn't ask for more, sporty, fast, yet toddler friendly.

very fun to drive (5spd). not very fast on the straight but its great in the turns (autocrossed last year and loved every bit of it) the front seats are ok but get uncomfortable on long trips, they make my lower back ache after about an hour no matter how i position the seat. is at 75k miles and still gets over 30mpg consistently. looks stylish both inside and out. i keep it exceptionally clean inside and out. runs great after all those miles. had to have the tranny replace after 10k but the dealership was very good about getting it done quickly and giving me a loaner car automatic neon, once again reminding me why i got a 5spd.

Still ticking

I bought my neon brand new back in 2001 and it is still getting me where I need to go. Other than replacing the tires, battery and a few belts, I have not had any major issues with this car. It has over 150,000 miles on it. My only drawback is the paint job. Other than that, this is a great car! I wish they still made them.

A Self Destruct car

This is my 2nd Neon, the first was a 95 and I ran it 95K and had one major problem a blown head gasket. The 2001 now has 63K miles and is in self destruct mode, I don't know where to start with all the problems I have with this car. I just spent clost to $500 for rear brakes cylinders, leaked terribly new AC temp sensor, new engine balancer's unlike most straight cylinder engines which use hormonic balancers, Dodge uses rubber mounts enclosed in steel and bolted to the body, I now have a check engine lite, the third one in 6 months, the O2 sensor have been replaced.

An excellent "driver"

I have owned 2 Neon's now, and both were extremely good at doing their job; however I was surprised as how much improving Chrysler had done with the new model; the Neon has definately moved upscale, trading in some of its handling in favor of a much nicer ride, refinement, and comfort. My first impression was that of a German sedan with the excellent seats, quiet torque"ie" balanced powertrain; and quality of materials and finish. The original Neon missed it target just slightly (particularly early models); but this one is dead on; its only handicap is the association to the name of "Neon" which does not reflect the high value of the new model.
