All I'm saying is that no matter what the marque, no matter what the name, no matter what the reputation or 'review' you read in Consumer Reports, a 2400lb car with torquey little 150hp engine and great suspension doesn't deserve the 'zero' respect it receives. It's a fun car. In fact, once I have my SVX all done (6spd and a bit of suspension) I'm going to get a neon, and I'm going to find you Landshark, and let you drive it, and you'll appreciate it for the rattly low quality fun to drive go-kart it is. Then I'll drive it and make you crap your pants. :P

Rob, i've driven a Neon, thanks. it was the most fun i've ever had in a cheaply-built economy car. i felt only slightly more manly than if i was in a pink Miata.

i don't think 150hp is gonna do much for me, unless its in a motorcycle.
if you're looking for bargains, for less than $15k you can get a 928 and put a supercharger on it. yeah its 3x the price of your Neon, but MORE than 3x the power and torque. (480RWHP/520RWTQ on pump gas, stock exhaust, full emissions compliant.) oh yeah - with automatic transmission! the looks and handling are slightly better than a Neon, too.
