2005 Dodge Neon SXT review from North America
"A very good car for a college student"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Just the tire tread wearing out quicker than I thought.
General comments?
So far I'm in love with this car. I've owned a '96 Dodge Neon before this car and it's like a whole new world. Much more comfortable and luxurious (for an economy car). I just wish it were quicker sometimes, but that's just because I got the Automatic transmission.
Also, the mileage on this car was a great surprise. While it's rated for 36 highway miles per gallon, I'm getting 40 mpg at 70 miles per hour with a K&N replacement air filter.
And on another note, this car responds very well to being lowered on some stiffer springs. I had mine lowered for a while and I swear it felt like it was on tracks.
