2000 Dodge Neon ES review from North America
"Good 'right out of college' car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Water got in the fog lights at 17,000
Driver's side door latch malfunction at 21,000
Ingnition key housing changed at 36,000
Factory installed 4-disc changer replaced at 76,000
At 118,000, tie rods and bushings needs replacement.
General comments?
I realy like the car for it's sporty look. I got all the cool opts such as sunroof, CD changer, leather wrapped steering wheel and shift kob, foglights, alloy wheeels, all these for under 20 grand! I get 25 city/ 32 higways mpg. It has very good handeling and braking power. The 3-speed transmission needs much improvement. Engine noise a little loud than competitors, specially on hard throttle.
Seats need more support for long drivings.
