1999 Dodge Neon Preview summaryImage

In preparation for the second generation of the Dodge Neon, the 1999 Neon offered very few changes, though Chrysler did claim to have addressed several persistent problems, including head gasket failures and peeling paint. They also claimed to have reduced the road noise and improved the plain-looking interior. Its reliability record held the Neon back from taking the lead in subcompacts, despite being roomier and faster than the competition.

The 1999 Dodge Neon came in Highline, Sport, R/T, and Competition trims, either as a sedan or a coupe. The R/T was by far the sportiest, featuring race car options and design and a dual-cam 2.0-liter, 150-hp engine. The Competition sedan was basically a base model with a package that offered many R/T options.

The Neon always scores high on roominess, especially its backseat, which can fold down to add more cargo space to the trunk. It boasts one of the larger interiors for a subcompact car, and coupled with a smooth suspension, makes for a comfortable ride. Engine power, whether single or twin-cam, gives it a lot of pep, and drivers say it tackles snowy conditions confidently. Despite Chrysler's efforts, owners still complained about the poor repair record for the 1999 Neon. The head gasket failure and overheating issues did not go away. The frameless windows made road noise louder and made it easier to break into the Neon.

this car has been good to me, learned to drive in this little car. overall it's well worth the relatively low price. most salvage yards have more than enough neons sitting around to keep her on the road for years to come. Dec 10, 2011

This car is horrible. The build quality is not good. Everything breaks on this car very eaisly. I actually thing i might have spent more times fixing it than i have driving it. The car itself when it does run well is not too bad to drive the suspension is stiff at stock and the handling isnt too bad for an american car. Overall i would never recommend this car to anyone unless there were no other options.Sep 16, 2010

Performance - there is a great aftermarket available, including motor swaps/build ups. Appearance - with the right wheels and paint anything can look good. Cost - other then regular maintenance items the car owes me nothing, spent 1200 on a replacement motor. when i got the car.Apr 02, 2010
