mikeys toy[RL] Posted July 22, 2005 Report Posted July 22, 2005 did you guys get these cars? this is my g/f's '04 dodge neon Quote
Redwarf Posted July 22, 2005 Report Posted July 22, 2005 Sadly, yes we do. They're a nice car, but we've had quality issues with the RH drive ones out here.... Quote
Super Jamie Posted July 22, 2005 Report Posted July 22, 2005 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 Quote
dingo ke55 5k Posted July 22, 2005 Report Posted July 22, 2005 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: Quote
Super Jamie Posted July 22, 2005 Report Posted July 22, 2005 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 Quote
Nitephyre Posted July 22, 2005 Report Posted July 22, 2005 (edited) but which one is fake? :abuse: Â meh neon :jamie: Edited July 22, 2005 by NiteP]-[yRe Quote
mikeys toy[RL] Posted July 22, 2005 Author Report Posted July 22, 2005 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 Quote
Super Jamie Posted July 22, 2005 Report Posted July 22, 2005 (edited) 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!

Xany Posted July 23, 2005 Report Posted July 23, 2005 (edited) we have one around the northisde here that has "Viper GTS" stickers down the sides and on the front and back windscreen...... Â evertime i see it i almost drive off the road in fits of laughter... :jamie: Â bloody tryhard badgers Edited July 23, 2005 by Xany Quote
dysolve Posted July 23, 2005 Report Posted July 23, 2005 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 Quote
Super Jamie Posted July 24, 2005 Report Posted July 24, 2005 lol, neon viper gts. kinda like the "ralliart gli" lancer down here :D Quote
ancullen Posted July 26, 2005 Report Posted July 26, 2005 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! Quote
Tazz Posted July 26, 2005 Report Posted July 26, 2005 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 Quote
