Dodge Neon

Price Paid:  $14000.00 from Deacon Dodge

Year / Model Reviewed:
2004 SXT

Summary:
With the neon you should really know what you're buying before you go in. Especially with the low line SXT. It's not a race car, it's not a van, it's not a truck, it's basic, economical, inexpensive transportation. I've put 41,000 miles on mine and have had no problems. It needs a brake job, but that's not bad with the mileage I've put on it, and I'll be happy to have it done. It's not fast, it's not roomy, but it is safe for its size. An expidition t-boned me on the driver door, and I had a sore neck and that's it. My daughter was in the opposite back seat in a safety seat, and was completely unhurt. Worth the money if you just want a basic car, but know what you're buying.

Strengths:
Safe, dependable, affordable transportation.

Weaknesses:
Not fast or fun, but it was never designed to be.

Summary:
This is the second Neon I owned. The 1st was a 95, i had a lot of problems with this car with everything from brake lines to rear main seal and head gasket, finnally the transmission went. But I liked the car, so I test drove a 2004 neon, and bought, and i have put 5500 miles on this car in just under 4 months, with out a single problem, air conditioner blasting the whole time. I love my car.

Strengths:
Looks, sound system, after market parts

Weaknesses:
I'd like a little more juice from the engine.

2004 Dodge Neon SXT 5-Speed

Summary:
It's a 2004 Dodge neon sxt 5-speed. It's the 5-speed which makes it a blast to drive. So far i'm very impressed with this car. It's got a great sound system and cd player already. It's all about to be upgraded though ;) So far Ive put a cold air intake and a cat back on it and it really brought the car to life. It's got awesome acceleration and gas mileage. All in all a 9/10 cuz it's not the srt-4!

Strengths:
FUN FACTOR! Acceleration, handling, sound system.

Weaknesses:
Gas mileage less than perfect when driven hard.
