Nah man... I'd take a Neon over any mid-range FWD car (except the ones I've previously owned/own) any day!

They've got incredible potential! Not as much potential as a Civic, but over any domestic car that falls under mid-size coupe or sedan, its got the most potential. More so than a Cavalier or Cobalt, even.

Flat black hood have been done for MANY MANY years. Mopar's had them a lot in the muscle car days, because it gave a bit of race car looks. Flat black hoods dont reflect the sun back into your eyes.

Its not for a poser wanna-be CF hood, kiddo.

And Red-Id bet even Cobalts have way more potential, then the Neon..

The base lancer wasnt a car to brag about either...

Never heard that before, but that makes sense given Mitsus and the Chrysler corp's association..

The cobalt could be the sickest american ride ever

I don't think any of that stuff is useless, it all serves the purpose of making the car look different. Wether you like the way it looks or not, that's another story.

I have to disagree, but they did turn into PT cruisers(same platform and power train). But do some reading on ecotecs people are doing amazing things with them.

Just wanting to let yah know, I can see your License plate.

I think it looks ok. The rims look clean, kinda gives it a JDM look, but the decals and the exhaust makes it look ricer. Just my 2 cents.

Sorry but I absolutely hate neons with a passion. Yours isn't too bad though, it has nice wheels and a decent look. For a first car its not bad, just drive it until you have enough money for a nicer vehicle.

this isn't my first car, i've owned a 95 gmc sierra 1500, rwd, extended cab shortbox, and a 1989 honda CRX Si. I sold the truck a long time ago because I couldn't afford to fill the gas tank, so i bought the honda, which lasted almost a year before i drove it into the ground and blew the motor. now i have this car, which I KNOW is not a great car, but hey, its got fairly low miles and should be quite reliable, and if nothing else, it discourages street racing (i hate losing... thats all this car can do...)

Very nice ride. Well, all except for the fartcan sticking out the back.

Purple can be a nice color on cars. Especially the old Dodges, and this Neon is no different.

Slick ride.

no, I can't. Mark my words, I would never, pay money, to drive a neon. you could give me one....so I could turn around and sell it to fund my other projects.

old subarus are cheap

old yotas are cheap


no excuse for a neon



I also can't appreciate paying what their asking for an STi.

old subie's are hard to come by in my area and they seem to hold their value very well, i simply couldn't afford to go that route, believe me i tried but my bank wasn't going to give me a loan to get something decent considering i'm already up to my balls in my student line of credit. and yeah a used STi is still outrageously priced, but thats my dream car, so if thats the last car i ever buy i wouldn't be too upset about paying a little extra, and its still significantly cheaper than an M3 (my other love in cars). and maybe the neon is just a neon, but in the end i'm not pushin pedals (or the honda for that matter) to get from here to there, and right now thats what i need.

alright i think i can step down off the soap box now.

that neon isnt the best ride out there, but it has decent paint and rims. Got any more pics of the exhaust up close? I think all of us wants to see how it looks
