What Owners are Saying About the 2005 Dodge Neon

"Love this car!"

"I was fortunate enough to get this car with low mileage and in excellent condition. It has served me well for two years. Although everything is manual except for the automatic transmission, it is easy to operate, and very reliable. I expect to be driving it for a long time."

"it was better then what people said."

"I have owned a lot of different cars, I was pretty happy with the dodge shadow and kind of disappointed with the neon at first. the layout of the car took some getting used to. also when you change the oil on the old 2.2 - 2.5's everything was so easy to get to.... the neon really wasn't bad to do maintenance on, just different! brakes, wheel bearings, same just different. I started liking the car more and more after it broke 200,000 mi. and when it hit 300,000 mi the catalytic converter plugged which gave symptoms of the trany slipping. I sold the car and it's still on the road in Wellsville, ny. the car that I own now just broke 200,000mi (2003 Saturn ion) but it's had it's issues, rack pinion (surprisingly easy to change)ignition switch on cold mornings below 32* and something that is currently causing the car to buck, maybe moisture in the tank (which is no fault of the cars)I do miss that neon, at times I have thought about making an offer to buy it back just to see how many miles it will go!"

"The average car ."

"The Dodge neon is dodgers attempt to compete with Japanese Economy car’s this car is overall just incredibly average it is equally bad and good the good with this car is that it’s good on gas and is has cheap parts and is very easy to drive and cheap to buy. The part that makes his car not so good is how cheap Made me the interior is and how these cars do not have the best reliability and are slow .
