Pros: Excellent acceleration, Precise 5-speed manual, Used prices.
Cons: Extreme wind noise, Interior plastics.
The Bottom Line: A decent car for those looking for an economy car with a large dose of fun.
When the Neon was first introduced in late 1994 (as a 1995 model) it was unquestionably one of the most unique looking cars on the road. While price, power, and the overall fun factor of the Neon played a big role in its success, it was the Neon's...

Author's Product Rating:  Recommended: No 
Pros: Dirt Cheap, Cute, Engine Power, Interior Room
Cons: Clearly designed to be cheap
The Bottom Line: Not much to love here besides the price.
We live in a world of disposable products. . . paper towels, plates, cups, razors and on and on. Many of the products we buy are designed to look good but, in reality, are just sturdy enough to work a few times before they're spent. The 1995 Dodge Neon ...

Pros: Cheap and likeable
Cons: dime a dozen, cheaply made
The Bottom Line: If you buy cheap you get cheap. Never has the term you get what you pay for been more true.
I have been driving my parents neon since they bought it new in 95. As with most of the cars I have owned this one was a hand me down from my parents. Although it has served as a second car from most of it's life it has recently become my main mode of ...

Pros: Price, mileage, reliability
Cons: small- ?safety?
I bought my four door Neon in May of '96- it was a '95 model that I got for a steal. It sat on the lot for more than a year in Podunk, Texas because no self-respecting cowboy would drive this (obnoxious) lapis blue squirt.
I love it- I have...

Pros: Affordability & durability.
Cons: Brake squeal & wind noise.
The Bottom Line: Great if you want affordable, basic transportation. Inspect thoroughly before buying.
After reading the many reviews about this vehicle, I felt compelled to add my own review, as I too own a 1995 Dodge Neon. I was attracted to the looks and the price when they first arrived on the scene back in the summer of 1994. I purchased it brand...

Pros: Power, handling, dual air bags
Cons: surging engine under deceleration, no tach on some models
In looking for an inexpensive commuter car, my search led me to test drive a 95 Dodge Neon. In my short experience with the car there were several impressions that I thought were worthy of sharing.

Pros: Good Gas Mileage, Peppy Car for the price!
Cons: Fuel Injectors Pricey
The Bottom Line: The car is a good reliable car that is great on gas and with gas prices as high as they are today a few occasional problems are worth it.
I bought this car used so I wasn't really expecting much the people wanted $2500 and I was able to talk them down to $1500 so when I left there yard with it I was doing pretty good. It was running really good for the first couple of weeks and then it...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: fun to drive, zippy engine, roomy
Cons: bumpy, loud, questionable quality
The Bottom Line: Overall, a good car. Stands out from the rest of the crowd too.
I remember when the Neon first came out. Lots of magazines and papers praised it as a really cool car. The car was pretty popular from the get-go.
Fast forward a few years. Now the same magazines were warning to stay away from the Neon,...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: No
Pros: sporty, drove nice, pretty roomy
Cons: electrical problems
Before out current vehicle, we had a 1995 Dodge Neon. It was a standard, had 4 doors and a very bad electrical problem!
Not even a year after owning it (about 25,000 miles), it began to have problems. If we left the car over night, the...

Pros: Good power, Good mileage.
Cons: Bad reliability and mechanicals.
I purchased a 1995 Neon Highline sedan in February 1995. I liked the roominess, styling, and power. I got the standard 5-speed transmission, AM/FM Stereo, and Air Conditioning. I really liked the car and was excited about my first new car.

Pros: Cheap, easy, and fun to drive.
Cons: Lots of issues standard with any bottom of the line vehicle.
Ok, I've read some of the other opinions and I feel very bad for the people who got bad deals w/ their Neons. I myself, love my Dodge Neon. Ok, from the begining... I bought this vehicle USED in the summer of 1999. The dealer had replaced the...

Author's Product Rating:  Recommended: Yes
Pros: cheap, peppy, fuel-efficient, stylish, roomy compact car
Cons: Great 1st car-not a luxury ride; maintenance required
The Bottom Line: Star in its class: No Cadillac, but for fun, responsive transportation that's easy on your wallet, you won't mind a rough ride and it'll pay to mind your maintenance.
We got our ruby red 4-door '95 Neon in March of '96 as a program car with 30K miles on it for $6500. Since then we've rolled the odometer up to 143K and put about $600 into it, not counting tires, L-O-F, gas & fluids. That comes out to six and a...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Good gas mileage, great handling, lots of power, roomy, comfortable.
Cons: A tad noisy, which isn't bad if you don't mind that sort of thing, leaky tail lights (easy to remedy with a buck's worth of silicone caulk)
I needed to buy myself a second car for my family, for me to commute back and forth to work in. My previous commuter car was a 1990 Nissan Micra; rock solid for reliability, but rather boxy-looking and not that powerful. It was fine when I was in...

Pros: Roomy
Cons: Paint flaking
The Dodge Neon is a great little car, for being a compact car I was impressed that I was able to load such a great amount of things into it with the help of the ability to lower the back seats to be able to connect the trunk and the back seat into one...

Pros: Excellent gas mileage, drives very well, looks great
Cons: Gets cramped with three children and two adults
I got my Neon from my sister and love it! My 6' tall hubby and I, 5'1" tall, can both drive this car with very little adjustment. It is comfortable for both of us. I have even fit a 6' ladder in the back by laying down the back seat!
