Wisp
Handles well. Has good pickup speed. Comfortable seating. Excellent sound system.
Best Small Car Period
I traded in my pile of crap Chevy Cavalier which basically fell apart on me for my terrific new solar yellow Dodge Neon SXT. The car has been a delightfull suprise so far. I haven't put too much mileage on my vehicle as of yet. The car's performance is perfect. Tranny is a bit clunky when starting up and shifting into drive but otherwise the car is near flawless. Do yourself a favor and buy a neon for the new year!
Pocket Rocket
Really fun to drive. Has the power of a V8 without the long nose or heavy feel, and the utility of 4 doors for those with a family. I still smile everytime it comes time to hop in it and go somewhere.
Third Neon
This is my third Neon. The continued upgrades prompted me to buy another one this year. Great pricing, great features, and peppy tight performance keep me coming back. I am really glad Dodge finally put in a four speed automatic transmission. Overall a fun, reliable, economical car.
tiny tank
In what parallel universe does this car get supposed good fuel economy? I have put a lot of money keeping this car in the best shape, I don't drive it in a gas-wasting sort of way, and I usually only get around 20/22mpg on a tank-- and that is with freeway driving as well. It's like driving a small tank, especially in contrast to non-American compact equivalents. It does zip along quite quickly on flat roads, depending on the weather. Positive: I feel pretty safe driving it (in terms of how solid it is), and the trunk is quite roomy. Lastly: God forbid you turn the a/c on- the mpg goes to around 16mpg
