Used 2000 Plymouth Neon Consumer Reviews
Great 1st car
This was my first car and I bought it with 23,000 miles on it. I had to replace the clockswitch within a year, but that was due to a poor repair job the first time. No other major repairs in 4 years after driving about 500 miles back and forth from college to home 4 or 5 times a year. My only complaints: brakes squeak a lot when wet or if not used in a couple of days even when brand new. No trunk latch! It's horrible to have to turn off the car to open the trunk. Paint has been cracked and peeling on the bumper for about 2 years. There is some vibration and noise from the engine that started about a year after purchase. Fabulous, cheap, first car purchase.
LOVE my car
I purchased my neon brand new, and have yet to have anything mechanical go wrong. Only normal upkeep on the usual things like breaks. I'm around 145,000 miles now and plan on driving it til it dies, which I'm sure won't be for another few years. The only things that have gone wrong have all been electrical. Motor burned out in the moon roof switch, 1 speaker has a vibration sound in it, and first cd changer didn't work but was replaced the first month of ownership and has worked fine ever since. I would absolutely purchase another Plymouth and am sad that they are no longer made. Also, my first car was a Plymouth, Reliant and was also a very reliable car.

Best car I've ever owned
Owned and driven for about 7 years; average daily commute of 70 miles. Purchased at 60,000 miles; now at 163,000 and going strong. It's had a chronic oil leak since around 90,000 - tried to have a couple different mechanics chase it down, but it's deep in the engine and repair estimate was more than half the $4,000 I paid for the car. But it runs fine and I don't mind a little incontinence. Otherwise, it handles nice, always starts, and has been extremely low maintenance.
I'll get another when she's gone
209,000 miles. Never a prob. Its all about maintenence. I will def get another when it does kick it! Had a Ford contour for a yr and it had 7 recalls on it. Not secure in driving. Had this car 9 yrs. Give or take. Not one recall!
Great Car for Low Cost
Good-looking, comfortable car with great gas mileage. Almost steered clear of buying a Neon, not sure why, but thought they had a junky reputation until I researched the vehicle and found the 2000 year and beyond to have great consumer satisfaction. My daughter and I love this car for its price range. We have been very happy with ours.
