It has a lot of pep for a 4 cylinder. It has a roomy back seat. Front seats are comfortable and visibilty is great for a short person like me. I like the tilt wheel and automatic door locks. The air conditioning is very efficient and the service I receive from the dealership is excellent.
This car rocks!

I decided to buy the SRT4 over the WRX. Test driving a WRX with STi exhaust I noticed more turbo lag and less acceleration. The SRT4 is a mean machine when it comes to performance. This car can out accelerate and corner more expensive cars. It looks great too. Inside the interior is a little better than a regular Neon with chrome trim gauges, silver and carbon fiber accent pieces, and boost gauge. The stock stereo sounds suprisingly good. Gas mileage is average, 22-30mpg, but considering the power this car has that is very good. Overall I am very satisfied with this car.

This thing is a rocket. Everyone I have taken for a test drive says the same thing. "Oh my god!". I have teken a couple Corvette owners and Mustang owners. They all very impressed with the acceration. This car is the best bang for the buck value around in my opinion. While the Viper style seats are tight, They are comfortable. I think the interier is just as good as the imports, dispite all the critics comments. I would recomend this car to anyone who is looking for a fun vehicle.

Just purchased it 2 days ago and have 190 miles on the odometer. Very fast, although i HAVE YET BEEN ABLE TO SPIN THE WHEELS (maybe the LSD will not permit that). Car is very comfortable, and I love the racing seats. Brakes stop excellent. Paint is almost flawless, but the sound system could be better-price is GREAT!

Less than 1 year and it has been in the shop at least 7 times. The worst being after 6 months I was told that the engine came off the motor mount. It was a good thing they finally found it after several tries. I recently took it for the power outlet kept shorting and blowing the fuse for the locking system. They told me my phone was to powerful to charge in it and that I would have to pay to get a stronger outlet installed. ARE YOU SERIOUS. Needless to say after several attempts to get my care properly repaired I am giving up. Time to SELL

The car's only short-coming is that the smooth Automatic Tranny has only a 3- speed gear set-up. The car is quick, nimble and performs great in traffic around the suburbs . But the gearing causes the motor to Rev very high on the interstates/ parkways, and engine noise is apparent. The "top" speed, therefore, is under 80 mph. Any fuel economy from this nice 16 valve is probably lost above 62 Mph. Mine is a basic low end model only w/ options of A/C and AutoTrans, and SO much is already standard (ie: excellent sound system) A real value despite the high-speed issues.

If you want to totally embarrass mustangs, firebirds, z's, wrx's, souped-up wet-fart civics, and hang or surpass vehicles that cost $15,000 more, this is the vehicle for you. The only problem (read: fun) I have is staying out of trouble with the police. The fastest production vehicle for under 21 grand.

This car has a great suspension, tires, brakes, handling, design, and stereo. Just good are seats (cloth), instuments, controls, finish. NOTHING is bad on this car. A best buy at discounted prices, made in America, and adding two things: a front tower sway bar and a replacement K&N air filter adds perfection to performance for less than $100. A great car!

I love driving this car, my family test drove one for two days we felt it had more than ample room for all of us and our things. great fuel economy with performance of a v8 engine. this car wil be with us for quite some time.

We have had the car 10 months. In the last 2 months we have had the car back to the dealer because of airconditioning or transmission problems. They are uncertain and have had to bring in a chrysler specialist to help find the problem. This is the 3rd trip back, total days w/o car 15days. When the airconditioner is on the car seems to continuosley hesitate and jerk as if the car is gonna die out. We are afraid to drive anywhere long distance. Cute car, fun to drive, disappointing outcome.

I drive me neon sxt to and from work, all highway. At night when there is no traffic I set the cfruise control at 70, and the best gas mileage I ever got was 31 mpg! I cant believe dodge claims 36 on the highway; not even possible. Other than that, this car has been good to me, except that the trade-in value after a year already puts me $4,000 in the hole on my loan.
Need more time with it but loving it.

When I got in the car to test drive it there was 17 miles on the Odometer. I have it home and have run a few errands but need to spend more time with it. I have the alternate (non-viper style) front seats and really like them. I really like the cloth centers in the seats for a more comfortable california summer.

I would highly recamend this car to anyone wanting to have fun!! It's extremely fast, handles great, and get's plenty of looks. I have no major quables except that I would not recamend anyone with over a 37" waiste to get the stock seats. There are huge seat bolsters which are awesome if you fit. It has some wheel hope if ran hard and wheels start to spin. I'm gonna get some new harder engine mounts to help limit that though. other than that great car and lot's of factory upgrades!

I have about 3500 miles now on my SRT4. Here is what I have to say about it. All the reviews I ever see about this car seem to usually miss the point of what this car is for. It's for FUN! Lets remember this when "experts" claim that it has a rough ride or when they complain about the "noise" the exhaust makes. Thats the core of why this car is here. Fun car for a VERY reasonable price for what you get. How many other cars do you know of that can spank most "sports cars" that cost twice as much? Not many. Drive this car and expect it for what it's for and you will never be disappointed.

This car is nothing but trouble. My speedometer chip, cam sensor, both front window motors , a rear door motor, have all gone out and now it always over heats. My best friend bought one too and her transmission went out at 50,000 miles. All this car is good for is looking at. Don't buy this car unless you like paying rapair costs all the time. I will never buy a dodge again let alone a neon. These cars have major problems and the dealers are very dishonest people too.

This car seriously hauls. If you can't take criticism very well do not consider this car because all you will receive are bad remarks. All civic SI, rsx type-s, celica gt-s drivers are all envious of the power this car has for the price. After you smoke them off the line the only response they have for you is "it's still a neon". You will have admirers out there as well. The only complaint I have about the car is the plasticky shift knob Dodge and the PVO boys need to change it out with an all aluminum/carbon fiber leather(found on boot and steering wheel) shift knob. Buy this car!

I just recently purchased my Dodge Neon and so far I have been pleased with its performance. It's nice and roomie on the inside for me and my friends. I think that the front seat comfort is better than backseat comfort. Sound system is great for my ears. I like having 6 disc CD changer as well as tape and AM/FM radio capabilities. It's gas mileage is not as good as previous car (Ford Festiva), but I will get used to it. Plus, I now drive slower to keep the RPM's down and use gas more wisely.
Fun Fun FUN!

I had been planning on purchasing a Subaru WRX Sedan... Until I test drove the SRT-4... Having driven an 03 SRT- 4, I had been somewhat dissapointed. The 04 however, corrected most of my concern simply by adding the limited slip Differential. Traction off the line is unbelievable for a light weight front wheel drive vehicle. My SRT-4 routinely beats the WRX off the line along with more traditional sports cars like Mustangs, Camaros and the likes. This car is, simply put, just fun to drive. I look for excuses just to drive it down the street.

I dont own this car, just had the misfortune to rent it...However, I dislike it so much that I felt that I ought to write a review of it. This car has the loudest engine, the worst auto tranmission, crappy gas mileage, slow pickup, and horrible suspension. I drove my normal route on I-25 in CO and after getting out I felt like someone had put me in a paint mixer, this car needs a much smoother ride. It really lacks when compaired to a Corolla, Grand-Am, Civic, Stratus, or even a KIA.

well, all i have to say it was an excellent purchase pleasure wise, on the other hand it doesn't hold it's value as much as a honda, but still smokes the hondas! not to mention i race v-8's, wow! I nearly by atleast the minimum length of half a car, i lose to corvettes, porsches, and such. the boost the turbo puts out is incredible, the suspension is a nice ride. if i had one complaint, it would be too much torque steer, but the torque comes handy off the line, especially when the lsd does its job with the support of my bf goodrich g- force street slicks. it's all about mopar!!!

What a great ride for a little scratch! Bought the car with a $700.00 discount then added approximately $2500.00 of "GO FAST" goodies and just set back and ENJOYED! The car has run a best 1/4 mile at Orlando SpeedWorld of 12.80 @116.08 MPH. This car now in street trim (No Slicks) spanks Mustangs, Z28 Camaros, M3 BMW's, and C5 Corvettes! All at a lot less money and with a great "Fun" factor in the process. I will probably keep this car a long time as so many new "go fast" items are becomming available. The car is easy to get into the 11's with chassis work to improve traction. A real stop light sleeper! I love it and I am 58 years old!

I had a cavalier for four years...lasted me from 97,000 miles to 129,000. I just bought a 2004 neon sxt and I am getting more for my money. For 18,000 (the same price as a sedan cavalier) I am getting a six cd changer, spoiler, sunroof/moonroof..options that would have pushed the price to 20,000 on a cavalier. And I got a great warranty!!! couldn't go wrong.

We have owned 4 Neons, 3 at present. Excellent 36+ mpg all highway. A little stiff on storage but otherwise fun to drive. AC is comfortable and heat is comfortfortable. Easy to maintain and wash. No problems with running. Virtually maintenance free with exception to regular oil changes and the like. Great in parking lots and tight spots. Fun to park. Maneuverability is excellent, ride is good on good roads but a little bumpy on rough roads. Fairly quiet ride with factory tires, better with newer better quality tires. Use cruise control all the time and like tilt wheel for better position on long drives. Power windows and mirrors are great and just love the sound from radio or CD player can play

Just picked up my Neon yesterday. I must admit I never could see myself owning a 4 cylinder engine car, but this one has a lot of pep. The salesman put me in the showroom car and then when we figured my 6/2 frame could fit in it. I went outside and picked out my graphite colored car. So far I have driven back and forth to work. But this week I get a chance to really drive it.
It's been fun

My family bought this car brand new. We haven't had any problems with it until just recently. At 60,000 miles, the radiator broke. I want to get it fixed, but the mechanic doesn't guarantee that only the radiator is broken. Can't completely blame dodge for the break down, probably just a lack in regular service. Overall, it's a good little car. it's a shame to see it go this way.

My first new car and I'm very pleased. Of course going from a 1993 Ford Escort station wagon to just about any new car is a great improvement. However I'm very pleased with everything about this car. The accelleration is quick for 132hp (notice I got the manual trans) and braking is solid and responsive. I'm 6'3 and the seats are very comfortable even for long drives and I have plenty of headroom. I love the car.

Very impressive what Dodge created. I WAS a WRX fan but everything changed once i test drove this beast. Confortable seats (it grabs you). Awesome performance. By the second week I had to upgrade my racing challenges because not even a turbocharged civic could keep up with me. hehehehe...I have NO REGRETS...Awesome car...It's worth to grab life by the horns hahahaha i just look back and the mustangs just get smaller and smaller.

Needless to say I have had my Neon SXT for A month and so. I have been to the dealer close to the 4th time, Same Issue. Go figure. I have received the worst customer service from the dealership. then they expect you to give them good reviws on the customer review letters HAHA. Main Issue has been the fuel gauge. DOES NOT READ Correctly. A few rattles which I really don't care. Let's see if i can get it replaced. By the way I agree with the Trunk lid Review, it feels like it is gonna break your rear window.
Love my Neon

As an owner of imports previously, I was impressed with the Neon. Overall design is the winning attribute which results in a quiet ride, low wind noise, does not get blown off the road, very comfortable seats, and high quality materials. Nothing looks cheap and have a nice quality feel to them. No rattles and is tight as a drum with excellent fit and finish, and smooth ride. I'm getting 33 mpg. Would buy another.

I bought my SRT4 in June of 2003 and since then I have put 12000 miles on it and it is still holding up strong and believe me I drive my car hard. This car for a 4 cyclinder turbo really gets the job done!! I have showed up 2003 Mustang GT's and especially my favorite are the 5.0's they hate to see me pass them ;-). But for the money I spent on this car and what it can do there is nothing like it for the price and not only that I don't see anyone with my car. I LOVE BEING THE ONLY ONE THAT HAS ONE. But to end this on the best note, DODGE FINALLY WOKE UP AND STARTED TO MAKE SOME DETROIT MUSCLE AGAIN!!!

Always loved Dodge cars. Previously owned the last 1999 2 door Neon Coupe with very standard features, but I liked it. My new 2004 Neon SXT Sedan is definitley a step up and found vast improvements, especially with audio & smoother ride. Very stylish with fog lamps and rear spoiler. Enjoy driving this vehicle very much. Trying to learn the CD controls is a bit of a challenge. The best feature is the smooth braking. Money-wise, it was a good deal, especially if you can get rebats like I did ($3500), plus with a trade-in, the final cost was lower than what I paid for my 1999 Neon brand new. I can't complain, I love this car.

Well after considering the Sti, Evo, Mini S, and even the accord v6 I chose to go with the Srt4. I am very happy with my decision. Not only was this car he cheapest, its pretty much the fastest from a roll. The seats are great and I have had nothing but fun with the car. Only gripe is all the ignorant people asking my why I bought a NEON?? Haha. When I step on it in 2nd gear they find out!
