Not reliable gas mileage is awful sluggish at times runs hot constantly. Brakes are not very good. Runs like a wagon.

Its very very good on gas, but the paint comes off quick.
Air con does not work. Good on gas, its a four cylinder. I need a 6 cylinder, it's not automatic, leaking oil.

My little Hooptie, old faithful!
Motor mount, transmission, radiator, coolant reserve leaking, and tires issues. It is very reliable and has only 67k miles. I have maintained the vehicle to the best of my ability, ensuring all fluids and checkups are done on time.

It ages well if you keep up with regular maintenance.
It's old and the air conditioning doesn't work. I like how well it handles: turns, accelerating, braking. It does fairly well in the snow.

My Plymouth Neon Always reliable
My car is foremost reliable. It is actually a 2000 Plymouth Neon, but these choices were not available. Just kept up regular maintenance, changing oil, tuneups, etc and it's still going strong. Chrysler products rule.

Awesome experience in the 2001 Dodge neon.
The struts and shifting bearings go out easily. It is easy to drive and comfortable. It is reliable and starts easily even in the cold. The defrosters clear the windshield quickly. The heater get very hot and needs to be turned down soon after it comes on.

Good car for college students
It's a good size vehicle with good gas mileage. It runs well especially for a 2001. Manual windows and locks are a little inconvenient but fine.

Dodge neon is a reliable car. My family has enjoyed this car.
I have had this car in my family for 18 years. It is reliable. Its know starting to need work from old parts and rust. It gets us were we need go. Easy to drive, not expensive to fix. Good as a side car. In case something happens to your other transportation. For how old it is very good car, and still going.

Small but reliable small family vehicle.
The vehicle runs well and is reliable. We have only had minor issues outside of a pipe leaking and need to get that fixed in order for the car to keep from overheating. A very good vehicle so far.

That the car isn't that great they are very boring.
The cd player isn't that good. And it's kind of drives slow.

It can get hit by a semi truck and only have a couple of dents.
I love the design of the car, especially the spoiler on the back. It is a very durable car it is been through several hurricanes. I do not like how squeaky the brakes are, or how the a/c keeps breaking on me.

Dodge Neon Problems and Faults.
This car is ok. It had some problems like it would stop and jerk in the middle of the road. We think that it was due to transmission problems.
Durward C
on November 20, 2020
It's mostly great for a little car. Don't expect great speeds or anything, but it's good for going back and forth to work or running errands, normal life stuff.
Initially, I loved it, nice driving, good gas mileage. Small car, but great for what it is. The last few years, it has had problems that even mechanics haven't been able to solve. Shame really, when it was such a good little car.

Every customer should know, this care is very good on gas with the price being on high
I like the car because it is good on gas, to be a smaller care it's very roomy and it's very quiet and that is what I like.

When the door locks it makes a loud screeching sound. Be mentally prepared or it will scare you to death.
It is old. It rattles, and the check engine light is always on. But it is trusty. It is my first car (I've had it for 5 years), and I kind of appreciate that no one has a car like it. :)

Long lasting car
My dad purchased this car used in 2002 he had until February of 2020 .. For many years it was a great running car ..it rarely broke down .. The last couple years it started running rough,loud and sadly it didn't pass inspection due to the body rust .. I think that's the only complaint is the body could've been more strong than it was but it lasted my dad practically 18 years . Highly recommend if you come across one

Dodge Neon can keep going and going.
My vehicle is very dependable. It has over 200,000 miles on it and still runs like a dream. We have only had to fix minor issues with it such as things coming loose or small leaks. All of which have been inexpensive fixes because the car is popular.

Good transportation, value vehicle with low maintenance costs and good performance
Dependable transportation, good value for the money - low repair costs. Body paint and metal not long lasting - encountering rust around wheel wells. Long lasting daily driver, second engine.
Kayla R
on September 20, 2020
It is dependable, it hardly ever breaks down. It does not drive smoothly.
The neon has been dependable but the body is not sturdy and can be easily damaged. The inside interior is not modern or attractable. The trunk and inside of the car space if very limited.

It gets great gas mileage and is easy to work on..
BEST. VEHICLE. EVER! I love my Neon. I have rarely had problems with it. When I do have problems with it, it is easy to work on and fix.
Brenda W

My vehicle has been a very good one and has had very few problems.
I have had very few problems with this vehicle, I have had it since 2001 and it has had very few repairs. Most of the problems it had is where someone backed over it and didn't even tell me and I had to have a radiator put on it. I had a problem with the starter.
Jon S
on August 28, 2020
It drives well and has good visibility in most situations.
It runs reasonably well and is smooth. It is stable in bad weather. It seems a little roomy considering its class. The controls are easily used. The radiator supplied by Dodge has a flaw which results in some transmission fluid contamination leading to needing a transmission overhaul, which is unfortunate.
John W
on August 27, 2020
The Dodge Neon is dependable an good on gas.
This car was very dependable during the 11 years I owned it until a bad transmission leak caused it to stop. The paint faded prematurely in my opinion.

Extremely high maintenance costs when the vehicle gets older.
When it runs, it runs very well. I just feel like I am always throwing new parts at it to keep it running.

My car is used for getting to work and to take my kids to daycare and such.
I like that it is small because I'm more comfortable driving smaller vehicles. I like the color of it. I dislike as much service as it needs the older it gets.

The sunroof does not work which is a huge bummer.
It is a 2000 Dodge neon. With 130, 000 miles. It still run well. I have kept up to date with the oil changes throughout the years. It is obviously has some rust. CD player does not work. Gets me around though. I wouldn't drive it out of town just in case.
Alicia P
on May 17, 2020
It is small but can go fast.
Love the size and the durability. I also like that a family member has extensive knowledge about Dodge so it's a free mechanic. Hate that is old and the a/c is not working very well.
Brandon A

For a 18 year old vehicle the old Dodge runs well. Al Bundy would be happy.
It is a 2000 Dodge Neon with 130, 000 miles still runs well. I keep up with oil changes. It could use some exhaust work, but I am not putting any more money into it. Otherwise besides some fading paint and rust it runs pretty well. CD player and changer does not work.

2001 Dodge neon with an excellent radio from the factory. A comfortable fun ride!
My neon has been a very dependable vehicle. I have 133, 500 miles on it. Have only had to replace tires and the battery and change the oil on a regular basis. I used to have a four hour commute each week day and now in her older years my commute is less than an hour each week day. It is a plain jane, but the cloth seats and stereo system make it a fine ride no matter what the distance is.

Alyssa R

The most interesting thing about my car is the cruise control.
My vehicle has no absolutely no major problems. My car has about 70, 000 miles on it, which is low mileage for a car of its age. My favorite feature in my car is the cruise control. It makes my 45 minute drive to work on highways everyday easy. I love my car.
Rose Ann Britton

Reliable and NOT a gas eater
My parents gave me my car and Ive had her for a while now. My Dodge Neon is low maintenance and is easy on gas. All Ive had to do is regular oil changes, buy new tires, and keep her clean inside and out. I havent had any problems at all and I travel alot. Everything works. The front windows are not manual, the seats are comfortable and adjustable, the trunk can be opened by a button in the glove compartment, excellent alarm system, heater/air conditioner never let me down. I would recommend this car to anyone who is looking for a car they can depend on and as with any car if you take care of your car, your car will take care of you.

The Low Rider. I would prefer more space between my car and the road
It is a compact car. It gets great gas mileage. We've had it for 5 plus years. It has had only a few minor problems. My own personal complaint about the car is how low it is to the ground. Being that I live in upstate ny and the weather we have, it's not convenient or good in the snow. Plus it scrapes the ground every time I go over a bump or any uneven ground.
Des S
on February 6, 2020
Even though it is an older model it still runs very well.
The car runs great for being an older vehicle. The major problem I have had with it is my rocker panels have started to rust out and we had to make cosmetic repairs in order to pass inspection. Other than that my car just has normal issues like needing spark plugs, brakes, windshield wipers, etc.

$40 to fill up. I can go to new York and back a couple of times on a full tank.

2001 Dodge Neon Short detailed explanation of why I rated it a 2 out of 5
The dodge neon 2001 hasn't really been the best, it has a very poor crash rating and the materials they used for like the dash and stuff eventually start falling apart, and cracking... If you are looking for a short drive, work vehicle, then this is an amazing choice. However if you are wanting to travel long distances I wouldn't recommend it, maybe this will help someone someday!
Maria M

It has great gas mileage and is easy to move around in traffic. I can park in a compact car area.
I like the gas mileage and the smooth driving. I do not like that it is too compact and tight for passengers as well as the driver. I do not like the truck design as it is narrow when the seats are down due to the speakers.
wendy D

That it drives very smoothly, handles well, and is a comfortable car to ride in with plenty of room

My vehicle is pretty cool.
The car is pretty old so it definitely needs some remodeling and the paint is peeling off but overall, the car still runs smoothly. The car is pretty comfortable and the seats are adjustable. The power steering is still in a pretty good condition and the ac and heater still works. It is also good and gas and saves a lot of money.

32 mpg at 140000 miles on the odometer Fantastic
Loud constant of noise of engine at idle and have a problem with shaking the vehicle when I stop to a halt abruptly. I keep the routine checks of vehicle with decent used tires and still able to travel to look for jobs throughout Southern California area. The absolute best thing about the vehicle is the 32 mpg on the freeway and no engine problems yet.

Still chugging along 18 years later.
Good on gas and the engine hasn't ever given out on me. I have wrecked two times once I was t boned and my car still rides like a champion. The paint chips off easily and sun discoloration issues. Has extra room and it's easy to travel in. For the most part you get exactly what you pay for.

Compact cars do not have the room I have.

It's a good little car and will get you from point a to b.
It's small and easy to park, but there's no power so slow to pick up speed when entering the highway. The seat backs are too high so they're hard to see around. The trunk is deep but narrow.

It's really really small so you will be able to drive around a city well with it.. But be careful it's basically plastic so if you get hit you're in trouble
It's a fairly reliable vehicle, it's small and maneuverability is good. I can turn the vehicle around almost any corner which is nice. It fits in parking spots better than a lot of vehicles I've driven. It has a faulty gas cap which is super irritating. I'd recommend buying a Dodge, they don't make the Neon anymore though... So it won't be that.
Brock H

Dodge neon 2001 used vehicle.
The car runs well no matter what I neglect on it. I have had issues with the handles recently. I am no longer able to shut my doors after opening them from the outside of the car. This car has been under my name for a year and the only cosmetic thing is the rusting metallic paint.
Jared C

2001 Dodge neon review on basic model.
As far as dependability it is a sound car for the age, seems to perform well for being stock motor and such, it is little bit compact in the cockpit, as far as features my car just has a base model package, but overall it is a good car, I have been everywhere with it.
Mackenzie Y
on February 13, 2019
The windows are all roll down by hand and the car is somewhat reliable.
Its ugly. The paint is hideous all the windows are roll down by hand. You have o get out of the car with the drivers key to open the trunk. It is gas mileage is terrible. It does get me from place to place but it's hideous. The model is ugly the styling is tacky. The car seems to get hot easily and has issues going down hills. It is not very comfortable. The rear seats squeak if you sit in it. The trunk has a lot of room which is nice though. But overall this car sucks and it's ugly.

What can and will go wrong with a neon
Worn out. No get up and go. Feels like I'm sitting on the ground. To low. Back window only goes down half way. Out of data stereo, speakers short out. No air conditioning. Blower vents fall out. Had to replace 2 alternators. Other than that it is an ok car. Good on gas. But not very comfortable for long trips.
Latasha S

It's old and not worth too much money anymore. Maybe a couple more months out of it
My car currently has an issue with power steering. The problem was presumed to be the hose but now it's the rack. It's rotted on the bottom and can not be jacked up, otherwise the floors will cave in

This car is very reliable and gets fantastic fuel economy.
I have owned the vehicle for about 5 years now, and have never had any issues with it. This car has served as a daily commute car, and is very reliable for that. It has little to no real features, besides your basic cruise control, AC, and windshield wipers. Its comfort isn't fantastic as it is a little small.
Tiffany H
on November 28, 2018
The most important thing others should know about my car is that it's reliable.
I really like the size of my Dodge Neon, it's suited perfectly to my needs. It's large enough to pack the things in it that I need, but small enough that I feel confident driving it. I don't think I really have any complaints about it; it's a good little car that's gotten me through a lot.
Ciara S

My car is wonderful with gas mileage, but not as flashy as other cars. It is very economical.

Neon, wish they still made them. . .
Biggest problem was the leaking trunk. That was difficult to resolve. It had a 5 speed stick that made it a really zippy car to drive. Never really had much wrong with it other than normal things that wear out. Engine has never been an issue. It's always held up. Replaced the clutch once and still ticking on down the road.
