The car is nice, especially the R/T version.
For a small car it has room, but for design inside it is funky, my knees was always against the dash, and oh, I was rear-ended by a state vehicle, my kness hit the dash and hurt for three weeks straight. That's been five years ago, I think I got arthritis cause of it. An unsafe car it is!
Tires were expensive cause it was an R/T version, I don't know why, the car wouldn't go past seventy five on a hill on the turnpike.
I think I'd rather have an Escort GT, it has more power and it zips down the road with bigger and less expensive tires.
I was in a serious accident in my 1999 neon r/t.The car performed like a champ. I was broaded sided by some dingbat who decided to run a red, and accelerate while doing so. He hit my r/t at 70mph, hitting the passenger rear wheel. Boy did he do a number, and yes I sustained injuries, but not from the car. The whiplash sent me into the window, which could happen in any car. That car did everything it was designed to do in an accident, and then some. I would recommend my car to anyone, I hope to god I can find another, anyone selling?!
I know someone who was in a serious accident with this car - the air bags didn't even go off. CHEAP CAR!!
