2001 Chrysler Neon SE review from UK and Ireland
"Well priced car, no BMW 3-series, but good for the price"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing Yet.
General comments?
Better standard equipment than most in class.
Comfortable interior, with great driving position. Materials and Plastics quality poor.
Ride and Handling trade-off just about right.
Engine surprisingly economical, averaging 38-45mpg (uk gallons) ; actually more economical than my 1.0 litre Hyundai atoz I drove before. Seems to use a lot of oil though. Good Performance above 3500rpm, but no much low end. Gearbox has nice action, but ratios could be spaced better. Engine is unrefined, and noisy above 2500rpm/on the motorway.
