Used 2000 Plymouth Neon Highline 4dr Sedan Consumer Reviews
it's all good, not great but good
I heaerd all kinds of rumors that neons fell apart within a year after purchase, but I've had mine for 3 years without a single major problem. i've done really well with maintenance aside from a few late oil changes, and the car has held up really well. I'm up to 96,000 miles on the thing (i drive EVERYWHERE) and it's been without a problem.
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.

Wonderful Car
Buy this car no problems fubn to drive
As much car as one person needs
I commute 70 miles each day, and this car can make it through an entire week without a refill (auto trans). Bought in '04 at 60K miles; 120K thru '08. Accelerates well enough to get into the flow of traffic on short on-ramps. Decent steering response. The budget sound system has some kick, which is needed at speeds over 35 mph because the cab is quite noisy. CD player is moody with normal discs and dislikes CD- R/RW media. Heater can be a furnace on the coldest of Midwest winter days, but only when the engine is pulling the car at 45+ mph. Surprising roominess on the driver side can accomodate even a larger man, though at the expense of anyone unfortunate enough to be sitting in the back.
Loved my first car
My dad got my first car, 2000 Plymouth Neon, with 44k for $3500 in 2010. The only major problem I ever encountered was the radiator went out at about 60k (which is VERY typical). I also had the tie rod end snap, but that was only because when the original owner replaced it they put the wrong part on. Overall I loved this car, i never worried about it breaking down and it got great mpg. Very reliable and worth the money. Unfortunately it was wrecked in the front end when someone hit me in a truck head on and drove off, i only had state minimum so was unable to fix the car. :( was very sad to see it go. I now drive a 2000 pt cruiser (which i also enjoy driving)
