DOWNSIZED

2004 Dodge Neon SXT 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl 4A)

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.

I had a wonderful bright red neon. Unfortunately I got in an accident (not my fault) a couple weeks ago and due to the low value of the car the small damage to it totaled the car. Although, my car was hit and it spun a 180 and ran into a curb and all I've got is a bruise on my leg. Pretty good I'd say. If you're a safe driver and you want something reliable and cute with great mpg, get a neon (especially if you're a bit low on cash). I only had the base model and it was a great little car.

Cute But Fragile

This car does not fare well in accidents, even minor fender benders. My car was totaled in a 35 mph collision that caused both airbags to release. Repairs to the fragile exterior were expensive and negated the savings of the initial purchase price. The car handles well, though, and has s spunky little engine.

At 26000 miles the check engine light came on. Other than that everything has been fine so far. I get oil changes when its due.

Great first car, but do your research.

I bought a 2004 Dodge Neon SXT in March of 2011 while I was living down in Georgia, and the car had a little over 90,000 miles on it. The gas mileage was great, as it averaged about 28 miles per gallon on the city and about 35 miles on the highway. It served its purpose, as it was not only a commuter car, but I drove it 2000 miles back to Montana comfortably, with no problems. The car never burned oil. My underlying problems, however, was that I had to replace the motor mounts, and the check oil light came on soon after I bought the car. I also had to change the alignment twice. This is all before 100,000 miles. The suspension wasn't great, as it felt it was metal on metal at times.
