Used 2000 Plymouth Neon Consumer Reviews
on the road again!
I do love my 2000 Plymouth Neon. I have had several problems with it though. Recall on brake boosters, 2 years old and needed new motor mounts, also front struts at 2 years old, trunk flooded and needed re-adjusted and now at 4 years old, the A/C went out and needs a new evaporator core, drier, freon and expansion valve. Very expensive up-keep. Also, my clear cote has bubbled and peeled and the door handles are falling apart. Car has a vibration. I have taken very good care of my car, oil changes, flushes ect. when time for. I'm broke but still love my Neon!!
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.

Neon # 2
This is my second Neon. The first was a 1995 that I purchased brand new. I was able to get the mileage up to 189,000 before a dumb mistake roasted the engine. The 2000 Neon is styled nicely. The windows take getting used to. The interior is improved as is the space. The engine is a little easier to work on, except the jack point ins not really in a great area. Overall the Neon is a good starter car or just a runner.
Perfect $4.00 a Gallon Car
We purchased the Neon in 2002 with 12,000 miles. It now has 113,000 miles and contrary to what some might say, this has been a reliable, fun and economical car. I still average over 30 mpg, my best being 39.9 on a long highway trip. There have been no unusual repairs, just the normal repairs. At 113k, I have finally replaced the springs, struts and stabilizer bars (went with SRT4 springs/bars/STS)and am in need of brakes. That's it. This is the fifth Neon in my family and I'd definitely buy another if they were still made. Great car, a blast to drive, good in snow and really reliable...and I am in no way easy on cars!
