Used 2003 Dodge Neon SXT 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl 5M) Consumer Reviews
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.
Beware at 50k
This car was an absolute steal when I got it and I had it dubbed as the best compact I've ever owned and I've had em all. Until 50k - major short in the electrical system causes brainbox fuse to blow during, now get this rt hand turns only! 30 labor hours already (800.00) invested and still no one can find the fix. Can't wait until its repaired and back to normal because it was a great car until 50k.

Beautiful Little Car
I just purchased a 2003 Neon SXT and am impressed with it's overall looks and comfort, all at a great price. It rides smoothly, handles nicely, and has a nice sound system. Drawbacks might include small sideview mirrors, which limit visibility a bit, and it should be a little smoother when idling.
Work Horse
I bought this car new and have put 145K (mostly highway) miles on it so far. Absolutely no problems whatsoever. Normal maintenance ie change timing belt at 100K, regular oil changes etc. Fun to drive. Now working in rural area and car is handling the rough terrain and dirt roads without a problem.
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.
