2001 Dodge Neon SE review from North America

Honestly, I have not had any real problems with this car. The only thing I could mention is the not-so-great sunroof. It is VERY rare to find a sunroof on a Neon, so I'm willing to let this slide, but it doesn't work as well as it should. It's pretty much a "manual" sunroof... you have to give it a little push with your free hand as you hit the button to get it to slide open correctly. I thought this was bad until I did a little research and found out that all Neon sunroofs are like that because, for safety reason, Dodge uses a glass that is too heavy for the sunroof motor. This is just to make sure it doesn't shatter when the car flips. So, the sunroof is not good, but I'm willing to overlook it.

I always have and will always buy Neon's. My first car was a '95 Neon and if you read that review, you will know why. This car is great. Great gas mileage, great looks, great sound system. I did not get the power windows and lock because I didn't want to have to replace the motors eventually and I think this is better. I'm also glad Dodge still gives you the option, too, because a lot of companies don't anymore. It is a very cute little sporty car and the only things I can complain about are the sunroof (above) and the comfort. Just like in my '95 2-door, the backseat feels like you are riding on a wood plank and hurts a little when you hit bumps. Otherwise, I would recommend this car to anyone and everyone... especially shorties like me (I'm 5'2) because it is the perfect size all around :)
