2004 Dodge Neon sxt review from North America
"This is an excellent starter car and due to it's size and handling is perfect for city driving"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The rear right side tail light developed a short.
The interior is very difficult to clean.
The braking system, while having been checked out on two occasions as working properly, is louder than any other car I have ever driven. They squeal the loudest when applied cold, & gradually stop squeaking as they heat up.
General comments?
I really like this car.
It has a nice balance between comfort, performance, & fuel economy.
It has been a very reliable car with very little going wrong in it's first 25,000 miles.
It needs to be insulated for road noise a little better, & the front end is so low that it grounds out on practically everything, unless you are driving at a very low speed.
Dodge definitely needs to work on the squeaky braking system.
