2000 Dodge Neon review from North America
"The Neon is a decent car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I bought my 2000 Neon in 2004. It ran great until now. I keep the maintenance up on it and it's still burning oil, my electrical system is going haywire. Just last night my locks locked and unlocked continuously for 30 minutes and my interior lights flickered on and off. It drives me crazy! I think Neons are OK cars, don't get me wrong, but maybe the company let a few bad ones slide through. I bought it at 19,000 miles, now I'm at 80,030.
General comments?
The Neon is pretty fast, even the base model like mine. I don't care for the hump in between the back seats. It makes my son's car seat rock. I can't put his seat in the seats either; it won't fit. Other than that, it's a pretty decent car; a great first car. I'm thinking I'll get a Dodge Charger if I decide to buy another Dodge though.
