2004 Dodge Neon SXT review from North America
"The Neon is a solid commuter car with great options at a great price."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing at all.
General comments?
Build quality is solid. There are no interior squeaks or rattles. Nothing has fallen apart or cracked. Floor mats stay in place, and there are ample storage spaces around the cabin.
Handling is great. Body roll is fairly minimal around sharper corners. The tires don't whine and make good contact with the road.
Engine is more utilized with the 5-speed. The automatic has been revised and lets the engine rev to redline when you floor it, but the 5-speed offers more favorable gear ratios.
Climate control systems are great; quick heat and cold AC. Front and rear defrosting is good.
