I've had no trouble with the Neon, it's a great car, excellent value for money.
The neon is a really trendy looking car, it drives well and has been totally reliable.
I have had mine 6 months now, and the only points that I have found are the very high back making reversing something of a guess, the small boot and the lack of storage space inside the car. On spec its impossible to beat at the price, and the build quality is hidden by a nice outer package.
