yeah.....
Quote:
cars come in my shop for 5 yrs. Everyone falls apart for one reason or another, interior.....engine, suspension. Everyone who drives one thinks they are so great, when none of them in reality last more then a few yrs. Not to mention, everyone complains about them getting broken into, another wonderful thing about those cars. So sorry, seen too many to form my opinion.... oh, also......they are ugly as hell and look like a jellybean. nothing personal.....honest

rob no grudge dude,, u just seem to have a few loose items up there, im shure theres a neon thread or bb u good go to and talk abought them all u want, and people will listen,, give it a shot, as for me a neon just doesnt cut it, maybe for a rental car or go get grocerys, sorry rob having a horible day at work just need to release some stress,,, this looks like the thread to do it on LOL =>

Ya know, between this comment (which contains a lot of bad information) and you buying a posermobile SUV.... Anyway, yeah, the interior sucks. The engine and suspension are great. So's the transmission (if its a manual). What annoys me to no end is how blind you are to the SVXs faults. ****ty transmission? Yep. Underpowered? Yep. Sunroofs and sunvisors that get limp? Yep. Paint that chips easily? Yep. Handles like a yacht? Yep. Most people who bought the SVX new, are NOT here. They are no longer SVX enthusiasts, nor are they in this community. I think that says something about our cars.... - Rob |

Anyway, Neons are just as reliable as civics these days. They had a headgasket problem. That's it. Other than that, they are extremely durable. True, a Civic has much better fit and finish, but have you ever DRIVEN a civic? If I had a choice between a 1998 Neon R/T or a 1998 Civic DX, the choice is obvious. One is peppy, torquey, has a great suspension, and looks fun, the other is slow, has no torque whatsoever, has a limp mush suspension, and looks like a lemming car. - Rob |

The SVX, while having a great interior, and I think is a better car than the neon... is somehow not as fun to drive. I think stiffer suspension, a manual transmission, and more horsies would change that. - Rob |

So I suppose you'll say turbo Mitsubishi engines are crappy... as well as the new Mini Cooper S supercharged engine.... the Mini's engine is a Chrysler design, and basically ALL of the dodge turbo engines are mitsu products... Hell, they even mad e plymouth LASER, which is basically an eclipse. Dodge and mitsu have been in bed together for a long time.

The question is which one is on top and which one is face down on the bottom. Hint: Can you see a three pointed star that is engineered like no other car in the world on top?

the librarian and Grandma are going to buy the base Neon, while young "Raw Furry Dog"-types are going to buy the SRT-4 because its cheaper than a WRX or EVO. yeah, but the SVX has a bigger gas tank. at 20mpg (averaging on the low side), 20x18.5 gal. tank = 370 miles (a little better than 175 miles. )
