did you guys get these cars?

this is my g/f's '04 dodge neon

Sadly, yes we do. They're a nice car, but we've had quality issues with the RH drive ones out here....

my friends got a loan of one of these whilst their own car was being repaired under insurance. they said it was the crappest handling thing they've ever driven, with the most oncomfortable seating positon, worst dash and worst windscreen they've ever seen

Old school Chryslers are cool though. nothing much tougher than a 68 dodge charger, like the one in the first 'fast and furious' that car was tough. Shame it got trashed. :jamie:

a charger has about as much to do with a neon as the moon landing has to do with the price of tea in china

but which one is fake? :abuse:

 

meh neon :jamie:

fast an furious charger was a '70

it was also used in the new herbie movie......couldn't help it......had to see......herbie

i agree with the windshield, dash, etc

the seats are comfy though, it only gets around 25mpg no matter who drives it

handling is fair....far better than daisy

but hers is the sxt version, lots of power for an auto

it only gets around 25mpg no matter who drives it

that's pathetic. my rear wheel drive, 8 valve singlecam carburetted 2.4L hilux gets about 32mpg. i can't believe a 2L 16v dohc front wheel efi car could be so awful

 

death to all neons!

the only thing the neon's where go for where the headlight, you hadto usethem to put a wankel in to a mx series mazda

lol, neon viper gts. kinda like the "ralliart gli" lancer down here :D

Just to correct some previous statements (cause that's the kinda guy I am). We USED to get the Neon, but Chrysler stopped importing it back in about 2003 because sales were shit and they could easily sell more PT Cruisers. We didn't get the facelifted model like your g/f has with the different grille. Possibly one of the problems Chrysler had with selling it was the 3-speed auto option. I thought all car manufacturers stopped using three speeds back in the early 80's, but Dodge/Chrysler threw that theory out the window!

i thought we did get that one here? ah well i knew that they were crap from the day my mum got one :D thankfully we sold it soon after hahahhaha
