2001 Neon, I bought new
No major problems with this unit. Typical maintenance, tires and battery, really didn't need one yet but replaced for peace of mind, and that is about it. Replaced all four struts, added brace bars front and rear and added inserts to the motor mounts. Radio went bad after 6yrs. Easily replaced. Has paid for it's self as far as I am concerned! The whole vehicle, I mean to say.
Nice car
I have owned my Neon for about 2 months now and I've never had any trouble with it. I bought this car with a bad transmission because it was really beaten and was in a wreck. I purchased a used transmission and it was good to go. It's really zippy and a great driving car. It is a little bit noisy but it's a great deep fun car noise.
Love it
I got the car used, it has 150,000 km's on it now. The car has never let me down. I bought it when in school, and it was a great buy. The car seems to have a bad rep, I however really cant find many bad things to say about it. I sold it to buy a new BMW 3 series when I finished school mainly because I needed a more grown up machine. If you want a cheap, long lasting little economy car, with a bit of sport, but an RT Neon.
CHEAP CAR
Bought this vehicle for my wife to commute back and forth from college approx. 100 miles round trip. Price was $10,000.00 brand new. After six months the battery died. After 36000 miles water soaked trunk and rear passenger floor after rain. Very very poor fit and finnish of body panels. Don't get fooled by the cheap price. You get just what you pay for. A piece of junk..
2001 Dodge Neon - commuters-only car
Overall, this is a decent car, but a bit expensive for its type ($600 for a three-speed automatic? Come on, Dodge). This model has had at least one recall, on the brakes, so be *sure* yours has had the recall work done (the recall issue can lead to total brake failure while stopping). It gets good city fuel economy, not-so-good (but still OK) highway, and the cabin is a bit cramped if you're taller than 5'8". This is a car for the commute to work, not the road trip to Washington. Very distinctive style, you'll either love the look or hate it.
