Great Car
This is the BEST economical car that I have ever owned! It looks sporty but at the same time the price is less than that of a real "sports" car. It has a lot of "guts" for a little car. I live in the mountains and it is great going up and down the hills.
Fun car, but has some downfalls
I drove a Neon for the past 3 months, and just upgraded to a Caddilac Catera. The Neon is as fast or faster than the 3.0L Catera with 200hp!! Handles awesome, and saved me from some fishtailing. Good, cheap car. Not smooth, though. American muscle without foreign finesse. Spacious trunk and interior. Fun to drive, but not too much comfort.
Great first car
This was my first car. It is great. Very reliable, a/c works great (a huge concern since I live in an area that regularly sees 105). The only problem I have with it is that it does not have an interior trunk release, which makes it a hassle to drop people off at the airport/ pick up a person in front of a store, etc. No maintenance problems as of yet.
MiniMopar
My wife's mopar of the trio (a 92 lebaron, 74 charger the others) is the sporty around town cruiser. Not to forget cross country, this little car, packed down with both our lives in the trunk and rear seats will still hit 115 on the open highway with the a/c on! The pick up is slow due to its outdated 3 speed auto (heck even my 74 charger has a 3 speed!!) but once the engine winds up its off. the steering is very precise,No problems with it so far, look forward to getting her an srt-4 in the future.
Great commuter car for price
This is my first new car that I have ever purchased. Needed a new reliable car for my 155 mile daily commute. Have had no major complaints with this car. The truck did get some water in it at one point, but the dealer fixed the problem. A sealing problem around the rear tail lights. I now have over 92k miles on the neon in just 2 and a half years and the only thing that has needed to be replaced was the tires. Has turned out to be a great car, and with proper oil and filter changes it has to last for about another 2 years. Should be no problem.
