Used 2005 Dodge Neon Sedan Consumer Reviews
Quiet Neon
Purchased the Neon SXT new in September 2005. This is August 2009 and not a bit of trouble. It rides, handles, and performs better that I expected for a small car. It has the deluxe insulation group and is quiet. I had the car rust proofed (Ziebart & Sound Barrier). At 56,000 miles replaced the tires with one size larger Goodyear ComforTred tires. The car is now very quiet (no..not exactly Lexus quiet)and even more comfortable for our drives across Michigan to see our grandkids. The car consistently returns 36-37 MPG on the freeway at 70 MPH. I have had a several people tell me what a nice, comfortable small car this is. We like this car very much.
Neon, America's Little Car
Great car. It handles like it's on rails, and is much better than that Toyota I had. Very smooth automatic transmission, not clunky and slow to shift like European cars.
Love My Neon
This is the second Neon which I have owned. I would still have my '98 if it wouldn't have been killed in a car accident. They are cute cars that are very reliable and give me above basic transportation at a good price that I was looking for.
Whoa - This Car Is Sweet!
I've bought about 30 new cars in my life and recently traded in my Ford truck for a new '05 Neon, primarily for the fuel savings. I had a '98 Neon that I drove for 150,000+ miles trouble free, so I knew they were reliable. This new model (SXT) is so much nicer than the 98 I can't believe it. It's comfortable, quick, and looks great. The fit and finish is outstanding and the price is reasonable. The suspension and steering and feel of the car is just flat "stuck." I really don't see how the folks at Daimler Chrysler can afford to sell this car for the price they charge, it's that nice of a car. It feels almost large inside and is so well made and tight that I recommend this vehicle to anyone.
2005 Dodge Neon
Economy car that provides good gas mileage and reliable transportation. Drives 80 miles a day to work. Last Neon (1998) drove 175,000 miles and only needed a head gasket. Very happy with all around performance.
