2003 Dodge Neon SE review from North America
"Reliable, Sporty and Comfortable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I had a very bad accident on Easter in 2003. I got stuck between two vehicles with not enough room to stop and ended up rear-ending someone that was parked in the middle of the interstate at 60 miles per hour. It basically tore the left front of the vehicle off. I had to go out into the interstate to retrieve my left front wheel. I had it repaired and my alignment check every three months after and it has not budged. I work in the automotive industry, more specifically, vehicle repair including tires, alignments and so forth. Kind of a specialist in this matter and I am completely satisfied with the Neon. I was able to walk from the accident and know that the vehicle has not demonstrated any signs of problems 10,000 miles later.
General comments?
The car is sporty with good acceleration and very comfortable on long distance trips. I am 6'2" and 230 lbs. and I fit with comfort.
