2003 Dodge Neon

Pros: Solid performance, nice ride/handling at price point, sharp looking.

Cons: Disappointing fuel economy, still has minor compact car drawbacks

The Bottom Line: A nice all around car at its price point.

Review: INTRO

My brother's 1998 Chevy Malibu had deteriorated into nothing but problem after problem. Not just nagging problems either, potentially big money problems. Fed up with it, he traded it in on a brand new 2003 Dodge Neon SXT....

Pros: Goes like a bat out of you know where Comfortably fits 4 Economical to own

Cons: Gas mileage so-so Noisy engine You will need to buy a radar detector

The Bottom Line: This car rocks! A true sports car for a very low price.

Review: Having previously purchased a 2000 Neon, and loving it, I was very familiar with the Neon platform. However, my college-bound daughter needed some reliable and efficient transportation (and the Neon has been incredibly reliable), so she inherited 'Old ...

Pros: Comfortable, stylish, efficient and economical

Cons: power loss with automatic, no room for basketball players

The Bottom Line: This is a more adept small car providing a durable, comfortable, and safe ride.

Review: My having to travel to Idaho has given me the opportunity to evaluate several new products. My Salt Lake City airport experiences at were very productive.

I decided to drive from SLC to Idaho Falls because it would cut the total travel cost...

Pros: Great price, awesome features, looks sharp!

Cons: Beefier engine would be a plus. Fuel economy is good, but not stellar

The Bottom Line: Go for it! The auto industry NEEDS business, and they'll do just about anything to get it (including giving you a SWEET deal!).

Review: I was looking for something to replace my '92 Shadow, and the '03 Dodge Neon was the ticket! I got a great deal on it, not only because of it's low price, but also because a friend of mine works for Chrysler. It's got awesome features, and it's a dream ...

Pros: Great power, handling, stereo, comfort, and quiet, for a small car.

Cons: It is a small car, sinking feeling that it just shouldn’t be this good.

The Bottom Line: The Germans have taken over, and that’s a good thing.

Review: I recently hit a deer. This is usually bad, but at least for me it was good, because I could step out of my old car and into something a little better while mine is fixed. In the past I would go to my Toyota dealer and rent a Corolla or Matrix, but I ...

Pros: There isn't one thing I don't like except that I didn't buy it sooner!!!

Cons: None Whatsoever

The Bottom Line: If you are looking for a new car and don't want to spend a lot of money I recommend the Dodge Neon.

Review: Well I love the 2.0-liter 132-horsepower 16V engine, the white -faced instruments, the leather seats, the speed control and the rear spoiler. Its a good car for the buck...I would recommend it over the import cars. Car was delivered with 28psi in tires....

Pros: Roomy, fuel economy, stylish, not your everyday car.

Cons: Few small blind spotts, no lever to open trunk, bad ac

The Bottom Line: This car is great on gas and is very quite. I love driving a car that stands out!

Review: So we have owned this car for a little less than a year now, and I have to say I hate it now! I think about the only thing good about it is that the gas mileage is good! This car has extremely low power and it is quite a struggle to get up to 60! ...

Pros: Comfortable, roomy, cavernous trunk, smooth ride, air conditioning system, acceleration, stereo system, tank in snow!

Cons: Mediocre fuel economy, defective radiator, roof pillars hinder visibility.

The Bottom Line: A good solid car. Ride, handling, and spaciousness are up there with much larger sedans. Some visibility issues and a popular radiator flaw. For the money, it's a deal!

Review: This car is really a Dodge Neon, but in Canada the name was changed to SX 2.0 in 2003. Maybe this was done to hopefully make people forget about the old neon and it's problems. My wife purchased the car in August 2004. The car was one year old and ...

Pros: 7 yr./70K guarantee, looks nice, priced well, decent acceleration

Cons: road noise, too low to the ground

The Bottom Line: If someone is looking for an inexpensive car, I'd recommend this one. Would I buy it? Only if my financial state went crazy or I needed an intown car.

Review: First of all, the reason I was driving the Neon SE was because my car, '01 Pontiac Aztek, was in the shop. I want to keep that in mind, because I went from a much larger vehicle to the Neon for just a couple of days, hence the title. Even tho I missed...

Pros: handling

Cons: back trunk control

The Bottom Line: A great car if maintained. If your young go for it but if your a family of 5 (3 older kids) it may not be ideal.

Review: I bought my car in July 2008 and could not be more happy with the car. Thus far it has given me no problems as would be expected with 81245 miles on it. The gas mileage came in handy when gas was soaring so when I was on the highway 32 mpg came in pretty ...
