2003 Neon Review Summary & Specifications

Dodge Neon offers good value in a compact sedan. It's roomy and comfortable. It's smoother and quieter than pre-2000 Neon models, but is not at the top of the class in terms of refinement.

The SE model's sticker is temptingly low, but remember that air conditioning, antilock brakes, power door locks, remote keyless entry, power windows and other conveniences we now take for granted are all extra-cost options. SXT is a good value because it comes well equipped.

The sporty and fun-to-drive R/T offers more fun with heightened levels of performance, while the SRT-4 delivers even higher levels of performance.
