Edmunds' Expert Review

by the Edmunds Experts

Pros

Fun in the curves, strong brakes, decent ride, rockin' sound system.

Cons

Lacks refinement, some low-grade interior components.

What’s new

After last year's facelift, the 2004 Dodge Neon sees only a couple of new paint colors.

Edmunds says

Those looking for a polished economy car would be better served elsewhere, but the 2004 Dodge Neon does have some likable traits, namely capable handling and a powerful audio system.

Been Amazing for the 8 years I have had this car.

2004 Dodge Neon SXT 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl 5M)

I bought this car used back in 2008, with about 33k miles on it. Now it is 2016 and only at 119k. Was mostly for college and getting to all my jobs during that time. Now I am out of college, with a good paying job, and I could buy a new or used car that is up to date and shiny, but the Neon is still going. I have never had to repair a single thing motor/engine wise except for the timing …

Great Car !!!

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

I purchased my 2004 Dodge Neon new and now have over 210,000 miles. The only maintenance other than routine, has been the replacement of ball joints and the sway bar link and bushings. If they still made this car I would buy it all over again.

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

Overall this car has served me well. I bought it brand new back in highschool ,in 2004 for 11k that's including taxes. When I first got it the O2 sensor needed to be replace which isn't a good sign around 20k. Luckily it was still under warranty. Since then there has been no major issues until now but right now at 220k its expected. At the moment, the reverse cable probably has to be …

I love this car!

2004 Dodge Neon SRT-4 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl Turbo 5M)

I can't get enough of this car. I've owned it for a little over 6 years and now have over 170,000 miles. It still runs smooth as it did with 65,000 miles and I've never had an issue with the car other than regular maintenance. I've changed the timing belt, water pump, clutch/fork, spark plugs, oil, and cam shaft sensor twice, battery and tires. That's it! All those things would need to …
