Very fast!
I love speeding with this car, you can get away with it!
I raced Chargers, Cavaliers, Civics...I've always won!
Car has style!
I LOVE THIS CAR! I would buy another one!
They should have NEVER stopped making the Neon.
Ummmm... interesting dude. I have a friend who used to go quite fast in his as well. Not many people know that the 2.0 in those cars is the one from the mitsubishi eclipse, but with not quite as much power. But man that is a lot of problems I don't know if it's worth it. there probably is some better cars out there.
You have only had the car for 7 thousand miles and you had to do all that work; though it could be from the lack of maintenance from the previous owner. I suspect if you race other cars so much, you will blow that head gasket that Neons blow regularly.
The 2.0 is not a Mitsub. its purely American.
Oh I am sure you beat a lot of the other cars in races. Races to the mechanic shop! That many problems after drving the car 7,000 km's says it all. The Neon is pure junk. End of story!
Not true! We've had TWO Neon's, and they have been very reliable cars.
The 2.0 motor in the dodge neons is the same 420a in eclipses/talons, NOT by Mitsubishi, but by Chrysler.. and actually the 420a in NEONS were actually more powerful than the eclipse/talon 420a due to a more aggressive cam on the intake side, giving it 10 extra hp. Also the fact that it's a lot lighter than the eclipse, makes it a more peppier vehicle..
