I own a 2001 Chrysler Neon with almost 180,000 Kilometers, and have had a couple of problems over the years, but nothing that stopped it from going anywhere it would take us.
According to Consumer Reports the 2004/05Dodge SX 2.0 (thats what it's called in Canada) are on CR's reliable car list.
So what do you think?

Are the 04/05's better than the 01's?

They are different in a few ways, but not so much that it would make it anymore or less reliable than any other 2nd Gen Neon...the 2000 model year is the big exception though.

 

What's wrong with the 2000's?

 

haha i hope its not too bad cause i have a 2000 lol

 

No, its not all 2000...just many of the first run 2000 have transmission issues, electrical problems, 2" exhausts instead of 2.25", and just things like that...nothing major, but all very first run cars have problems.

 

Trans problems huh??? That might explain why I had to rebuild mine.
