2000 Dodge Neon ES review from North America
"Great Car, Very reliable and quick"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I haven't had any major problems with Dodge neon (i own 2 of them).
The biggest problem I had is a blown motor mount, which is nothing special considering that this is an auto-cross car.
General comments?
Whatever people say, neon is a great car and very reliable.
Specially with manual tranny. I drive my neons hard. I race them every year, plus there's a lot of performance modifications done to them.
Performance wise - Nothing touches the neon in its class (Manual trans. ONLY). It can out handle most of the competition. It has some power on a straight line. Integra's and Civics (except G S R, Type R, SI) having hard time competing with even base models of neon (Manual trans. ONLY).
Its the best car $5000 can buy.
