Used 2003 Dodge Neon Sedan Consumer Reviews
It's a great car
Bought an SXT neon with the 4 speed automatic trans everyone complains about. It is quite a bit slower than the manual, but about the same as other automatics in it's class and not all that slow. Passing power is very good. Gas mileage isn't that good. About 23 mpg. It could be better. It's a pleasure to drive this car. It handles like a sports car and the brakes are incredible. Try one - you'll like it.
Good Value
Car has worked real efficiently. I drive lots of miles each day and I needed a reliable inexpensive mode of transportation. It has a sporty feel and corners very well for an economy car. The sound system is impressive as well.
The best first car ever!
I love, I mean love this car! wicked fun to drive, and so easy to handle. I fell for it when my eyes saw it, so cute and really reliable
Neon
Performance is great with 5 speed manual tranny. Car is a looker. MPG is acceptable (getting 30 mpg overall). This ain't a Corvette, so saying performance is poor... bad logic! If you want racing speed, buy the Vette at $ 31,000 more! The car has a 7 yr, 70,000 warranty on the engine and tranny, so take it to the dealer under warranty, if you maintained it properly!? With cash back and lease incentives this car cost me $ 11,000 brand new! About six thousand less than a Honda Civic! Have 53,000 miles with only normal maintenance costs, plus $320 for new bushings in front suspension. Amazing how people buy a low sticker price car then expect BMW performance!
Eh
Frankly, this car really didn't light my fire. I really would've rather gone with a Ford Focus or Mazda Protege for the money.
