Used Dodge Neon for Sale Nationwide
More reshuffling takes place with the 2002 Dodge Neon, as it gets a new base model and an SXT trim. The SE and ES trims still exist, but were sold to fleet companies and not to the general public. The SXT is essentially the ES with a rear spoiler and some extra options. All models, except the performance-oriented R/T and ACR trims have a 2.0-liter, 4-cylinder, 132-hp engine. The R/T and ACR have a performance-tuned version of this at 150-hp.
Also new in 2002 is a 4-speed automatic, which replaces the weak 3-speed option. All models still come standard with a 5-speed manual, which is preferred for maximum engine and acceleration performance. A slightly redesigned grille appears in 2002.
The 2002 Neon gets high marks for its handling in tough road and weather conditions. Although the redesigned suspension and longer wheelbase make the car more stable and nimbler, some critics feel it sacrificed its unique look from the first generation of Neon. Still the roomiest sedan in its class, with extra head and legroom for backseat passengers, it continues to fall short on convenience options. Owners complain about a lack of cupholders in the back seat and no power rear window option. While the easy maneuverability and awesome engine power earn many fans, a cheap-looking interior, and headache-inducing road noise are big detractions. While repair issues are still mentioned, they don't seem to be as numerous as with the previous generation of Neons.

(39 reviews)I bought my 2002 Neon RT about 6 months ago with 98,000 kms. I think it is a different car altogether than the base 2nd gen. neons(132 hp). I also owned a 2005 sx 2.0 (neon)for one year. The RT is much quicker, and the handling is beyond the base model. The RT pulls hard right up to the 6800 rpm redline, umlike the base model which loses hp after about 5500 rpms. It is one of the quickest N/A four cylinder cars on the road. There are many aftermarket performance parts available also. It has been a very reliable ride so far, even after spending a few nights in -35 C temperatures, it started without a problem.(not plugged in either). I love the leather interior and the factory sound is impressive. Two things I dislike about this car are: 1. The optional CD changer is mounted so low under the center controls, it is almost impossible to put in or take out a CD while driving. 2. Power front windows, and manual rear windows.(I really hate the roll-up rear windows). However, this puppy can take alot of punishment. I drive like I am in a race wherever I go. I travel about 60 kms each day to work; about half is highway. I reach 190kms/h quite often. I rev this car out in every gear because I love the pull and the sweet note my intake makes as I'm accelerating(I just dropped in a K&N filter and left the top off my air filter box). I know some will claim sucking warm air from the engine compartment will make less power, but I really feel this thing pull harder and it has more low end grunt. I think it is a good all-around car. It is quick when you feel like kicking your adrenaline up a notch, it corners very sharply, and the interior is very roomy. It also has 4 disc anti-lock brakes and traction control. With good winter tires this car is an excellent winter driver. It is a nice family/sports car. I have two kids and it works well for me.
Fast accelarating, excellent handling and very firm braking. Very good gas mileage - 35mpg! Sporty looking exterior and cosy interior! Cost of ownership is really low since it is an American vehicle. Does not have any major mehcanical problems. The car is really fun to drive and it has a lot of room for all your friends.
The performance is great with acceleration, braking and handling. the built quality no need for repairs it did hear a big noise sometimes the appearance it looked sport and the color great silver the gas mileage a great saver and maintenance easy to maintain judt keep it up to date and it was fun to drive.
The Performance is really pretty good for a small and light car. It has not needed repairs for anything but the speakers are a little rattly. The gas mileage is great and i get about 34mpg and i almost always go about 75 and up so for someone to get more wouldn't be that hard.
Have only had it for a few years, but it's a great car. Hasn't needed work other than basic maintenance and a new battery. Drives pretty much like any other sports car, great acceleration, great braking, excellent handling. Only downside is it only gets about 20ish mpg, which doesn't seem right to me. Could have a couple aftermarket parts, I haven't bothered to check. Was well worth the $6000 I paid for it used at I think 70k miles.
