2005 Dodge Neon

Pros: Cheap, cute, versatile, great gas mileage, great stock radio, and there's a model for everyone

Cons: very few, see review

The Bottom Line: Get one, they're great.

Review: I just bought a 2005 Dodge Neon SXT 3 days ago. Mineral Gray, standard transmission, with soon to be limo-dark windows. My fiance & I are both Dodge devotees, more specifically Neon fanatics. He first introduced me to the car in 1999 when he bought his ...

Pros: Styling, acceleration, mileage

Cons: Noisy, nothing fancy

The Bottom Line: If you need a cheap compact, you can't go wrong!

Review: I've had my Dodge Neon SXT for a year and a half now. I purchased it to get into an inexpensive car with good gas mileage. While the mileage has never been as good as listed, it's still better than most vehicles out there. I have put on a ton of ...

Pros: Fun to Drive, Great Gas Mileage, Spacious Interior, European Suspension

Cons: Very Few - See Review

The Bottom Line: The 2005 Dodge Neon SXT is a very reliable and affordable sport/compact car. If you are in the market for a new car, the Neon SXT is worth a look!

Review: This past December I finally managed to graduate from college after 5 1/2 long years, lol. I got a new full-time job in January and decided it was time for a new car. I actually didn't have much of a choice in this matter. I had put about $3,000 into my ...

Pros: Fun to Drive, Quick, Nimble, Good Ride, for an Affordable Price

Cons: Spartan Interior with Standard Equipment, Not as Refined as the Competition

The Bottom Line: An Econo Car That Handles. The Neon Gives Good Mileage with Predictable, Sure Footed Cornering at an Affordable Price.

Review: I admit it; I didn't want a Neon. I tried begging, pleading and tears streaming down my cheek, but, alas, it was all for naught. I was standing at the rental car counter and I was given the choice of a Neon at a bargain price, or a Liberty at an ...

Pros: Gas mileage, handling, power, smooth ride

Cons: Engine not as quiet and refined as competitors (but much sportier - a trade off)

The Bottom Line: A great inexpensive car that is well worth your investment.

Review: I've owned my 2005 Neon SXT for two years now. It's loaded except for the sunroof and it has a manual transmission instead of an automatic (which I prefer). First, let me say that the 2003+ Neons have scored better in reliability (as of 2005) than ...

Pros: More than adequate power, comfy, seats actually go back!, good steering, easy to drive

Cons: No SRT fun factor, resale value, model has a marred record.

The Bottom Line: Basically everything you'd need, without many of the things you'd really want in a nice little, low-priced, package.

Review: My experience : I rented an '05 Dodge Neon SXT with automatic. The experience covered a mix of highway/parkway, stop & go, and residential driving. POWER Well, this was the SXT with an automatic, so it certainly didn't have the cheek-pulling ...

Pros: Stylish, sporty, and surprisingly comfy for a compact.

Cons: It's a domestic compact. Won't win any races (unmodified.. haha) Rear crank windows!!

The Bottom Line: Can't say much about reliability, considering I rented it. But about $12k, you're getting a nice, sporty car. Parents: If your feeling generous, this would make a great first car.

Review: Don't get too excited, The Dodge Neon turns 10 this year - and in its third incarnation - she's a bit more stylish on the outside and a bit more refined on the inside. But despite the outer shine, the SXT is no sports car and Dodge seems to have cut a ...

Pros: I love the silver color, stream lined look, easy to keep clean, gas mileage, performance.

Cons: Back windows are manual, fabric on seats, needs bigger trunk.

The Bottom Line: I love this car and would definitely buy another one if needed. I would recommend it to anyone not wanting to spend a lot of money.

Review: I love my Dodge Neon SXT. I've had it about a year, silver, tinted windows, nice alloy wheels it is so fun to drive. It is so reliable. I came from a Subaru Legacy Wagon and didn't think it would even come close to comparison, but it does. It is an ...

Pros: Gas Milage, style, handling.

Cons: No power rear windows or doors.

The Bottom Line: A great buy for the price and all the features you get.

Review: I bought my Neon Sxt almost a year ago now used and it has given me no problems. It is just as reliable as any other car in it's class. The engine is a fine a little noisy but most car's in the class have some noise and I like the way my car sounds as I ...

Pros: Price, Decent performance, Fuel economy, Warranty.

Cons: No 2 door model, Interior, Projected poor Resale value.

The Bottom Line: Still a decent value (after rebates), however I do feel there are better choices on the market.

Review: Although horribly unreliable, when Dodge introduced the Neon back in 1994 it was one of the most fun-to-drive economy cars in its class. The car was light, had more than enough power, and offered great handling. So what has the Neon been up to over ...
