Great car and good on gas. Gets me from place to place safely with no problems. Good car with a decent amount of room and space for passengers and laundry or groceries etc.

Why I love my car! It has always been reliable, even in the brutal cold of our Winters and the searing heat of our Summers.
My car has been very reliable. It is an older model, but only has 38,200 miles on it. I don't go out often. This vehicle is easy on the gas, although I think they could have made the gas tank just a wee bit larger. It's very easy to drive and parking is easy also. It has a very nice turning radius. I did run over a nail once and had a blowout, it was easy to maneuver to the edge of the highway and was easy to change the tire. The paint job is still beautiful and I haven't been giving it any special attention. The interior is still in wonderful condition, and has had children in the back seat many times. I feel safe driving this vehicle and that is very important!

Chrysler needs to bring back the neon!
I love my neon. It is worn out, and I will probably rebuild it. The car has close to 200,000 miles on the odometer, and still starts up on the second crank. It is a zippy little car, not fast, but adequate. . For being a subcompact, it has a surprisingly large interior. Particularly the trunk, which is an afterthought on most compacts. . The good: it is an incredibly reliable car. Even with as much wear as it has, it gets up and goes. It has an excellent heater, and a decent air conditioner. Its power steering is on point and works well even at low speed. The abs braking system is reliable and works well. . The bad: first off, this one is subjective. It has an automatic transmission, which I view as training wheels. The only good to that is it has cruise control. Second, it has leaked oil since around 100,000 miles, and I cannot determine where. The shocks are shot, but they actually lasted a very long time, so not so sure that is a 'bad' thing, but it makes the car feel a little unstable. . The really bad. It gets very hot in the summer where I live, and when the air conditioner is running, the transmission will lock itself in a gear and overheat, necessitating that I pull over and let it cool off. This only happens when the a/c is running. It is somewhat random and I have not been able to determine what causes it. . Overall, I love this vehicle. I am a fan of Honda vehicles, and this is the only american car I have ever had that compares.

Very reliable and comfortable
It is very reliable. Engine works great even after 150,000 miles. It has comfortable seats. Easy to work on engine repairs. Small and easy to drive, has a great turning radius. Air conditioner works great and cools off the car very quickly, and I live in the Central Valley of California, so that's a huge plus. Downsides are that everything is manual, as far as locks and windows.

The great strengths of the Neon.
I really like this vehicle it helps me get to work in the busy mornings that I have. It is very nice on the inside and has a very nice ride height to the car. The car is also priced very well, I really like the price because it is not too cheap or expensive. It's just a really nice car.

Do not buy a Dodge neon if at all possible.
It is an old uncomfortable car. It runs well considering it is old. Leaks oil. Noisy. It has some vibration issues, loose motor mount. Interior is very small and uncomfortable. Exterior color is a bright blue. Think there are some issues with the suspension as it shakes when the car is idling.

Good Gas Mileage of a Dodge Neon
I love that it gets good gas mileage but I have had a lot of issues with the transmission. But it drives smoothly I do like that about it.
Danielle S
Don't bother buying a Dodge Neon unless you want to have to replace it within two years or drop tons of money on repairs.
It's loud and terrible. Always having mechanical and electrical problems. There's always some new issue.
Alyssa J
Do not take this car on long distance trips.
It is cheap, compact, and cute. However, it breaks down all the time and I get constant complaints about engine setup.
Brittany L
Such a cheap build. Everything is made from the worst quality.
There is always something wrong. Has automatic windows in the front but manual in the back. Costs a ton of money in repairs.
josh J
It runs really loud but it gets me where I need to go.
It's got damage to the front end. It has a cracked windshield.
Lisa J
Dodges break down faster than any other car I have had.
It runs good but wouldn't take it on a road trip. Good to shopping with. Love the color of it. The tires wear out fast.
George D
It gets me from A to B at least
Constant vehicle problems such as a rattling sound in my engine constant stalling while trying to get to 55 MPH and rare shutdowns

Is The 2004 Dodge Neon A Good Car?
Yes it is reliable and has given me very few problems. It has over 180,000 miles on the odometer but the engine is great. It is reasonably efficient.

How Reliable Is The 2004 Dodge Neon?
Our Dodge Neon is reliable. It has a few slight issues, but nothing that can't be attributed to the normal wear and tear of vehicles over 10 years old.
Robin P.
It has always been quite reliable for me. I had to replace the battery last winter and fix a leak in the brake line recently but it's done well overall.
