Used 2003 Dodge Neon SXT 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl 5M) Consumer Reviews
Needs refinement
The seats are uncomfortable. My lower back begins to hurt after driving it for more than an hour at a time.
The Customer Loses
The car only has 5000 miles and the brakes make noise. The car has been back 3 times for this problem and the area rep from Chrysler states that this is normal. I didn't know noise from the brakes was an available option.
Whiskey, Tango, Foxtrot
My 2003 Dodge Neon, built to my specs and delivered to me early 2004 (less than 40k miles) has already experienced timing belt problems and a bad transmission. I only drive infrequently and I have the oil changed regularly and had my 30k tune-up done on schedule. It boggles the mind to see any vehicle crap out so quickly. The 2003 Dodge Neon is loud on the highway, gets poor gas mileage and a gutless engine. Initially I told myself this didn't matter as it looked nice, but after the engine/transmission problems started hitting home, I don't see how anybody can put a shine on this turd of a car.
Visibility quite poor
For shorter drivers I feel as if I'm sitting on the floor, I cannot see hood and visibility, frame thickness between windows, has almost cost me 3 wrecks in 1 1/2 years. The gas milage they advertise is not quite accurate.;-( And it has locked me out with car running with the electronic door lock settings! Please keep spare key handy!When cold the engine has a loud tick as if ready to throw a rod and the brakes squeal when wet or cold. They say this is normal? Why only front power windows? And the front window keeps coming off track. Glove box too small can barely fit gloves and owners manual inside! And a real neck breaker to view cd changer.Impossible to clean between front seats.
Ok family car.
My wife is due to have our 2nd child (in 2 years..) any day now. All we had so far was a pickup truck :D So we went out and bought this car. I live in Alaska (ok, you can release your breath now). And, I work less then a mile away from home. We bought this car on October 8th @ 33 miles. It now have 298 miles.
