My Chrysler Neon SE has been by far the most reliable car I've ever owned. I've since upgraded to a Subaru 2.5 turbo but I still really miss that Neon. Oh the memories and the journeys in that car!
I am not going to sell mine, Chrysler Neon LX, automatic. Its now at 325000kms, but its amazing! Not sure why and i found it funny that people always move to slow lane when i am driving behind them on the highways LOL
I just watched this video and read this comment and I'm like "Wow, I had an SE and I once upgraded to a Subaru 2.5" and then I realised it was my comment from 7 years ago.... Mind blown! Oh I still miss my Neon SE! I wonder if I'll watch this video in another 7 years and read this again and not realise at first.
I had a Chrysler Neon for a couple of years,possibly 1 of the best cars IV ever owned,why Americans say its a crap car I will never know....fully loaded for £800
Agreed! I bought one (Chrysler Neon LX, Auto) here in Cape Town for ZAR 28000 back in 2015. Most are sold for ZAR45000. The car is unbelievable, very reliable. I am servicing it myself now, no major problems than just replacing certain parts after so many years it's been running..
My wife has had the same RT from new, it's now 16 years old and she just won't part with it. It's been tremendously reliable and it's also pretty fast. I got one new on 02, at the time it's styling and equipment spec were way ahead of the Focus unless you spent a lot more money, mine was £14K new company car and I loved it. I will agree it has a lot of road noise but other than that it was an excellent car if a little thirsty. Even today the car looks fresh and sporty, it's a shame we never got the SRT-4 in the UK, I would have loved one of those. The Crossfire was an upgrade for a small sporty car, the SRT-6 with 330BHP was a real mover, but with only two seats it was totally impractical for the family, the RT however, could seat 5 in comfort. It's a shame that this little sports car from the States is much maligned and there is a lot of snobbery and arrogance from us Brits about American sports cars that I find tiresome. I would buy another today if I could find a low mileage black RT, but they are like rocking horse poo now.
My Neon is 17 years old and I cosider it an excelent car. It is very comfortable and reliable. I realy can't understand people who are complaining about it. I, as a mechanical engineer, appreciate meny of it's qualities. I bought it 7 years ago for almost one third of the price of VW Golf of the same production year (2002.). It is powerfull, well equipped and I really enjoy driving it.
God damn it. Just as a lot of other reviews of the day, the time has shown. The rivals of the car are out of the question as used cars to be bought. Neon despite it's rust problems stays strong. Automatic boxed and engines still kicking.
I had a Chrysler Neon LE bought in Canada cheap it was reliable enough at 15 years old when I bought it I cant knock it as a small sedan to get around in didnt cost me too much money
Got an 02 RT from new, still have it. Does not cost much to service, still like new only done about 90000miles. Won't sell it. Compared to some of the cars in it's class it got more leg room and space in the back.
People scoff at it but I bought one and it's been great other than idling rough which seems to be a problem with these cars, if I could find a mint one I would buy one again mine is getting worn out, the srt 4 turbo version is a quick car
Hello! I need some help. I.m from Romania and i purcaise a Chrysler neon 2 from 2001 and i have some problems with the tcu of the gear box. Can you please help me with an advice from where can i buy one piece of tcu for gerbox? Thank you in advance!
***** I tried finding petrol, but stores just don't carry it. Bed Bath and Beyond... REI... World Market... It isn't anywhere. Oh well, I guess I'll have to just keep polluting the planet with my dumb American gasoline.
I also have one, I love it so so much but I have a problem pls help. My car leaks brake fluid. When I fill the other small resevior, It leaks under the pedals then it fails to take gears until. I'm in South Africa, east London. PLease give me advises on what could be the problem.
"that little american trick" wait is pressing the clutch before starting the car an american thing only?? wtf?!! I'm sure I've heard of european cars with that, no??
Depends what car you have. Automatic cars usually like break pedal to be pressed. Manual cars, just key. Of course there are libtards who ruin planet for everybody else, so there can be some safetytards who require clutch to start the vehicle
Kind of funny how she thinks we do not have bendy roads here in the USA as she put it "yanks" yes we do we have a large country with many different terrains. This video seems a bit racial towards the USA imo.
+Joel Dale is the car any good tho ... im about to buy a 2003 model for 800 euros as my first car. No one knows anything about this car tho .I asked around but this video is all i can find.
They are a really great little car and if you take care of them they last for years my neon is one of the toughest out there and yes it is worth it and if you need any info on the the car just ask me cause I know lots about the car and the dart which is nearly the same car
I had the unexpected pleasure of finding a Chrysler Neon once. Totally made my day.

was my first car ever 3 years ago still have and love it

It looks like this neon was retired in 2017. Untaxed and expired MOT Feb 2017
Had one of these as a rental in LA. Drove it to Vegas and back. Yes it was a cheap car but so was the rental price. Didn’t dislike it.
This specific red neon r/t is really my all time favorite car. It's a pity I never got own one :(
I bought one as a cheap runaround and it was great. Never let me down and decent to drive.
They should have sent England the SRT4 model. That thing was crazy fun!
im going to buy one of those in a year or two
I wish I could find one thats not in bad shape those are quick cars
There are no curvy roads in America? I bet theres way more miles of twisty back roads in USA than Britian
what a charming video. would watch again

Seems like a good few people don't really get too fussed about American Cars - so much for the "Special Relationship"!.

"You press the clutch... That little American trick"
You have to do that on my 90s Alpha Spyder dfhuk you talkin about woman
UsernameUser we also dont have "bendy twisty roads to drive on"
***** Lolyeah because Western Oregon/Washington, Colorado and California don't exist.
UsernameUser its also a little american trick to fill up with gas and not "petrol" silly Americans
***** I tried finding petrol, but stores just don't carry it. Bed Bath and Beyond... REI... World Market... It isn't anywhere. Oh well, I guess I'll have to just keep polluting the planet with my dumb American gasoline.
UsernameUser lmfao
I disagree with her but she did a good job at being the host
Beautiful

It needs a new brake master cylinder and a new clutch slave cylinder if it is a manual transmission.
"that little american trick" wait is pressing the clutch before starting the car an american thing only?? wtf?!! I'm sure I've heard of european cars with that, no??
I believe so. You do not have to press the clutch to start a car, unless you have a speed already in.
Depends what car you have. Automatic cars usually like break pedal to be pressed. Manual cars, just key. Of course there are libtards who ruin planet for everybody else, so there can be some safetytards who require clutch to start the vehicle
cheaper neon!? I thought only Plymouth and Dodge were making the neon
Michael M they don't have those brands in europe. anything dodge or Plymouth becomes badged as a Chrysler or lancia in the eu
They sold the Chrysler Neon in Canada and Europe
سيارتي ..اعشقها
So 3 neons
Dodge Neon
Chrysler Neon
Plymouth Neon.
Chrysler: looks changed
Dodge and Chrysler: rebranded.
I own a 05' sxt, this sucked, I wanted to waist a bullet sooooo bad
