Perfect Starter Car With Great Gas Milage. — I love this car. It took good care of me and i took good care of her. Very reliable and trustworthy. This car is well maintained and provided me with years of enjoyment and comfort. I would recommend this car to anyone (well maybe someone under 6ft tall!)

Cons

Slow, weak handling, noisy, cheap feeling, ugly.

Tough, But That's About It. — Bought this car as an 'emergency car'. Not overly fun or cool in any way, but it's survived two accidents, one of which was very serious. Gave it to my gf when I paid it off. It's still running well.

It's a good reliable car if maintained properly.  Has plenty of aftermarket parts available to customize.

Cons

It does have its quirky mechanical issues sometimes.

Fun Little Car. — I love the car it fits my needs as the only driver. Easy to do minor mechanical jobs such as spark plug and wires, engine oil, transmission fluid, brakes, drive belt. Plenty of fandom behind its legacy from three generations.

Kinda Pricey! — Sorry this is the only photo I have of my car at the moment, but I will take another one soon. (I was actually taking a pic of my Jack Russell "Ruckus" in his Santa suit...and he was NOT amused!) Anyhoo....I own a 2004 Dodge Neon. It's ok on gas and has been a "pretty good" car, though I've had to put a lot of money in to repairs & maintenance, on top of kinda pricey car payments and FC insurance. But what'cha gonna do? Gotta have a ride! All in all, it's been a good car, though I was not very happy with having to start putting money in to repairs after only having it for 6 months, and it was only two years old when I bought it. Oh well...

Excellent Value For The Money — Like the good fuel economy,but dislike the long gear ratio of transmission, easy to park at any parking spot, the interior colour and the exterior colour match excellent, this small car, with all the luxury, is an ideal ladies or studenst car. .

Very dependable vehicle. Little maintenance required. Good looking sport design that anyone can drive.

Cons

The gas mileage could be a little better for a smaller car. Should have bought one with cruise control.

Overall It Is A Good Car. — i bought this car new in 2004 and drove it for 4 years prior to handing over to my daughter for college. She still drive it today. the only problem she has had is the moonroof motor went out after it was about 5 years old. The engine (like alot of Dodges) has a clicking from the lifters when you start it up until it warms up. I have noticed this in alot of the dodges I have owned. The back seat is not designed for grown ups as any smaller vehicle. Good truck space for a smaller car. I would definitely recommend getting cruise control as the long trips tend to be even longer without cruise control. I would recommend this car to anyone that is looking for a sporty ride or another family car.

Great Student Car — I drove this car through college and beyond! It has been very inexpensive to keep up. Drove it to SC from MI on 3 tanks of gas (90 bucks)! Seats got some saltwater on them from the surfboard (yes, it fits in the car) and will not come clean -- which is very frustrating. Other than that, I love this thing! Only reason we are getting a new car is to have room for a growing family.

Blue Dodge Sx 2.0 2004 — its my second car, first car got in an accident in the beginning of 2011 during winter. This one drives well and is good on gas, everything works, but it is all manual, which is okay with me, just gotta make sure people lock their doors when they exit.
