Gas mileage

Acceleration and power are lacking

Good Every Day Driver — Weak acceleration, Solid car, interior and exterior look pretty sporty, gas mileage is amazing and I haven't had any problems with the car. I love driving it. My only problem is the power. Not super fast. Perfect as a first or second car for teens or if you want a car that'll hold up

Pros

Gets excellent gas mileage, seats in both front and back are comfortable on long trips, handles really well and is a nice looking car.

Cons

the visibility for backing up is horrible, the rear spoiler is in the way and blocks your view. the rear windows are not electric like the front windows.

Cute Car And Fun To Drive — The color and body style of the car is what caught my eye when I bought it. It has over 100,000 miles on it and we have never had any major problems with it. The reason I am looking for another car is my kids are all grown and on their own, I am currently separated from my husband so I want something sporty and eye catching now.

Yea — it does good on gas mileages, good on handling, when you buy tires they are cheap. Great family car, it can fit five people in it, big trunk space, great seats, great color red but want it to be black

Last Year Of The Neon — The dodge Neon's where nice basic cars that had trim models that even made some of the them look cool. The low cost to maintain the Neon is helps to make the care a real deal and the fact so many where made parts are also easy to get. The only issue that some owners see is transmission issues after around 150K miles.

Sporty Car Without The High Gasoline Prices! — Only reason for selling is the need for AWD! This car drives like new, fast acceleration, comfortable ride and plenty of room. Definitely a sporty looking car! Great Gas Mileage! Very clean! Fun to drive! Has been very dependable for my family!

8000 — Great car! Automatic! Lasts forever as long as you take care of it! Sound system is great since the car acts like a box! Seats are very soft and in great condition. Gas mileage is awesome! Can drive to the nearest corner store or across the country!

Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.)
