2001 Dodge Neon - Fun little car
I have been driving this car for about seven years now. It seems a lot like a bigger version of a go kart. While I have kept up on oil changes I have not done them as often as I should have. It has shown very little wear on the engine it seems and is still running at over 170,00 miles. I use this car for mostly city driving and get about twenty-two miles per gallon. This is the car I use to get to work and take my son places.
Story
I went with a group of friends on a trip to an arcade about 4 hours away. We used my radio to entertain ourselves before the arcade opened.
Pros
My favorite things about this vehicle are that it is a really fun car to drive. It is only a four cylinder engine but the acceleration seems very fast. I have not had many problems with it even though I drive it pretty hard. I have been able to take it on out of state trips and not have to fill up but a couple times. It is a fairly cost efficient car to own.
Cons
The cons on this vehicle are that it is prone to a couple major issues. One is that the door frames will eventually start leaking. The A/C system also develops a leak. One of the major problems I ran into was the design of the water pump. Mine went out and destroyed three of the four heads on the engine.
2001 Dodge Neon - Good car for the price
The thing that I like the most about my vehicle is its size. It is small and compact enough that I can maneuver it in tight spaces, but it is not so small that I feel like I am driving a clown car. It has adequate trunk space, which is a plus for when I go on vacation with my friends as we have a lot of baggage. I like the fact that the back seats fold down to access the trunk. This is very helpful in transporting materials like long pieces of wood. I have found that I can fit 10' 2X4's which has been very useful. One of my least favorite things about the car is how low the front end is to the ground. I like a car that is slightly higher up as this one tends to scrape on bumps that are too high. Although, it is not so low that it would be considered a low rider. It gets fairly average... (more)
Story
I recently took a vacation and on the way home we drove through the mountains. The views were beautiful, but I was a little worried about my car given its age, and the fact that it hadn't been tested in the mountains in years. However, the car drove beautifully, and gave me no problems allowing me a stress free trip.
Pros
Again, some of my favorite features are the size and capacity of the vehicle. I also like its durability. I have had the car for over a decade, and it has over 160,000 miles on it. It is still going strong with only minimal repairs needed. It is very reliable and rarely has an issue. It gets decent gas mileage considering the year in which it was made and its size. The steering and control are both great and have given me no problems over the years. I have gone through several phases in my life while driving this car and it has always provided me with what I need in a vehicle. There were y... (more)
Cons
The thing that is the biggest con about the car is how low the front of the car is to the ground. I know that it is not low enough to be considered a low rider, and I appreciate that the low center of gravity of the car, but because of this it often scrapes on high speed bumps or other things. This also causes a difficulty when there is packed snow on the road as it drags in the snow and causes damage to the undercarriage. My other biggest complaint about the car would have to be the backseat. Although, I love the size of the car and understand that some things have to be sacrificed in ord... (more)
