2000 Dodge Neon Base review from North America
"Money well invested"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing.
General comments?
I drive my Neon 75 miles each way to work every day, 5 days a week. When taken care of properly, the Neon is one of the most reliable cars available. I change the oil every 3000 miles. Others who say that they have had problems with the Neon probably never maintained their vehicle. One time when I took the car in to have an oil change, the mechanic thanked me for making his job easy. He told me that the only reason he changed the oil was because I asked him to, not because the car actually needed it.
I feel comfortable driving around the fast-paced California highways in my Neon, confident that it won't let me down.
This is a reliable car that I would recommend to anybody.
