Great car for the price, just not new!
very fun to drive (5spd). not very fast on the straight but its great in the turns (autocrossed last year and loved every bit of it) the front seats are ok but get uncomfortable on long trips, they make my lower back ache after about an hour no matter how i position the seat. is at 75k miles and still gets over 30mpg consistently. looks stylish both inside and out. i keep it exceptionally clean inside and out. runs great after all those miles. had to have the tranny replace after 10k but the dealership was very good about getting it done quickly and giving me a loaner car automatic neon, once again reminding me why i got a 5spd.
Love it
I got the car used, it has 150,000 km's on it now. The car has never let me down. I bought it when in school, and it was a great buy. The car seems to have a bad rep, I however really cant find many bad things to say about it. I sold it to buy a new BMW 3 series when I finished school mainly because I needed a more grown up machine. If you want a cheap, long lasting little economy car, with a bit of sport, but an RT Neon.
Outstanding Value
My Neon was purchased brand new with 38 test drive miles. I loved it in 2001 and I love it now. Value for the money and low maintance costs and upkeep is awesome. With 58000 miles I have put roughly $3500 worth of upkeep into. That includes tool purchase and tires.
My little race car
This is the ACR competition model; a factory racecar intended for SCCA Road Racing and Solo competition. Keep that in mind if you consider and ACR. Great handling - but even with the suspension set on full soft (all 4 struts are adjustable for both rebound and compression) its a very firm ride. The pay off is it handles like its on rails! The power is adequate, 150 hp in a 2600 lb car. As for reliability, the battery went out at 20K but other than that its been good. Its my daily commuter, my long distance hauler and its my racecar for SCCA Solo II Autocross events. And for the price I still cant beat the performance. Its a fun car.
My car
I bought my Neon during the spring of 2003. I drove it out to Houston and from there to southern California as well as all the driving around the cities. I also drove it 50 miles one way to work 5 days a week. I have 108,600 miles on my Neon and it is still running like it was when I bought it with 33,000 miles on it. I have never had to do any major repairs. It is the best car I have ever owned. I really enjoy it.
