2005 Dodge SX 2.0 Base from North America
Summary:
Great car, just wish I got one with more options like key-less entry, PW, PL ETC
Faults:
Front seats are uncomfortable after a while.
Engine idles rough, even after changing the plugs.
Not all that upgradable.
Bad reputations with auto transmissions; get a 5 speed if possible.
General Comments:
This car has been a really good buy. I am the 3rd owner on it (long story). It had very low KM's on it when I bought it, cost me only 6K CDN and ended up having a FULL EXTENDED warranty with even free oil changes. The second owner did not even know there was a warranty.
The stock stereo in this this sounds incredible. Solid rich sound through out the car.
I bought OEM cruise off e-bay for less than 200.00 from mopar4less, and installed it myself, saving me 180.00 in parts, and at least another 200.00 in labor. But that's all I can upgrade. There are no other easy upgrades you can do like power trunk, etc.
Great gas mileage for a 5 speed; you just need to really get a feel for the car in city traffic, and get up to speed and coast to your next stops. It rolls quite well in neutral. :)
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

I have the same problems with my 2005 dodge SX stalling, hard to start about three to four tries, then idols at 200rpms.
