2003 Dodge Neon SXT review from North America
"Cheap, fun, and reliable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
None.
General comments?
I purchased this car new and it now has 105,000 miles on it.
I just brought it in for its first service to change the timing belt. Otherwise the only maintenance it has had was a spark plug change by me at 50,000 miles.
I currently drive 52 miles each way to work.
The car is fun to drive and has a great balance of ride and handling. I own a manual trans car and believe that has a lot to do with the fun factor.
The car allows a fair bit of road noise over rough pavement.
Overall very satisfied with this 'cheap' car.
I have had many problems with our 2008 Toyota Prius - go figure!
