Cheap Go-Fast Racer

A bundle of fun (and speed) for 20K? It's for real in this car, one of the biggest performance bargins in many years. Add to that enough room to carry more than two people, a decent trunk, and a list of standard features that leaves almost no options needed (or offered) and you have one of the best ideas from tkhe Mopar folks.

Well This car was fun as hell, untill a manafacturing default ( warped master cylinder ) caused the head gaskets to blow......not fun especially something that major with only 2800 miles on it, and i havent even done anything to it yet, and was going to take on my co workers Porche in the 1/4 mile which i know will be no contest per the srt-4 I drove for my friend and blew a SVT away, lol untill he got into 4th gear...lol but i think that blue flame had something to do with it..lol But cant wait to install the stage 2 turbo, comes with alot of extras that you probably have bought seperate already, that is why i was wating....

SXT review

Overall my car was very reliable. The only problem I have had since rebuilding the engine is the power control module in this car which I think is a problem. I was looking for a recall on this but did not find one. Also it could get better gas mileege. I added one of those tornados to the air intake which increased fuel economy by 3 more miles.

DOWNSIZED

I RECENTLY FOUND IT NESSESARY TO DOWNSIZE FROM A 2003 MALIBU LS TO THIS 2004 NEON SXT. THIS LOWERED MY PAYMENT BY ABOUT $100.00 A MONTH. WHAT I DIDN'T KNOW WAS THAT IT WOULD COST ABOUT $200.00 A YEAR MORE TO INSURE, AND I LIKED THE 70,000 MILE DRIVETRAIN WARRANTY UNTIL I FOUND OUT THAT THE ROUTINE MAINTENCE WAS SOMETHING THAT COULD VOID THE WARRANTY IF NOT THE MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE WAS NOT FOLLOWED.

We love our new Neon. The payments are the most reasonable around. It is fun to drive. I have three teenagers ready to learn to drive and this car is just perfect for teaching them. When my husband first brought the Neon home, I hated it! I love old cars and wanted a 1967 Mustang Convertable, red with white interior. I wouldn't even drive the Neon for the first month. Then came a time I had to. I've been sold ever since.

Awesome Sedan...

Currently own an 04 in Electric Blue with the Sunroof and all I can say is I love it! The car is fast and can accelerate around corners real fast. After installing the Stage 1 ECU along with a Mopar Exhaust the car sounds like a beast and its only a 4 cylider. Also the Quaife LSD make a big difference, alot more power is tranferred to the wheels equally and you can grip the asphalt alot better. If your the type of person who will beat on the car and not keep up with the maintenance your better off getting a Kia, but if you like fast cars with Turbos, for the money you can't beat an SRT-4! 2003 Sport Compact Car of the Year!

I am 16 years old; it is my first car andI love it. It is fast as hell and it leaves everything behind. It is completely stock and i had it dyno tested at 252hp which is 22 more hp than what dodge says it is. I have no complaints.

Decent at first

Decent little car at first but now with 60K miles on it, it's becoming a nightmare. We've had to replace (under extended warranty): Radiator (it blew mixing trans fluid and coolant together), transmission, 2 transmission solenoid packs, lower control arm bushings, radio, motor mount, coil pack, fuel pump, rear wheel cylinders and now something is clunking and popping in the front end....again.
