Great Car!
A great buy! Last day of the month, and I bought the car brand new for $8K. I've had two problems. One was with the steering column clicking, which the dealership fixed by replacing the steering column free of charge. The other is the sound the brakes make when wet (and I knew that was an issue).
I LOVE this car!!!!!!!!
I've driven a lot of "sport" cars....bmw 325,328, mazda miata, volkswagen corrado, GTI, maxima, SER, I30t, acura 3.2 TL, and many others. This is one of the most fun to drive cars I've ever driven. Given the other factors of comfort, utility and price this is BY FAR the best value out there. If you can pick up a 2001 or 2002 you will most likely get an amazing deal (like I did).

good car
For those who are knocking the 2001 Neon, just take a look at the maintenance costs compared to the Japanese models. I used to have a 1995 Neon which had some problems but it made it to 150K with the only costs being A/C issues and a bad head gasket design (new design worked okay). I previously had a Toyota Celica and replacing the muffler, tires, etc. was minimally double what it costs on the Neon. Yes, there were some nuisances, but they are all taken care of in the 2001 model. No rain through the door jam, no squeaky brakes when moist, road noise down almost completely, windows tight, more "containers", brighter headlamps, etc. I love my 2001 SE.
Great little car for the price but a few cons
Indeed a good little commuter for the city. It does have a little pep to it's step. But ranks average overall. Needed more gears inorder for it to be a true gas saver. I inherited this car from my Grandfather who used it as a vacation car in Florida. The computer went at 80,000 and that was an ordeal due to the SKIM security system had to be coded to the vehicle. Gray keys were chipped. Black keys have no chp or skim system in the car. The Motor went at 164000 but only because the radiator went. So I replaced it with another motor that had 100k on it. Only cost me $500 for everything (thanks to my mechanic) The interior is decent but nothing special. 6 disc changer went out at 60k miles and I put in a new deck with a cd player. I have been hard on this car. Spent atleast 30k miles in Tijuana but the shocks have been decent. The Trunk is pretty decent for such a small car. Would I buy another one? No, but I'd have second thoughts if it were the srt4.
