I purchased my 2004 Neon SXT 8/04, and since that time have had not one single problem with it. It routinely gets 36 mpg (occasionally higher), is fairly quick, handles reasonably well, provides me with enough room (I'm just over six feet tall)--I really don't understand why these cars were not better received by the reviewing press. From what I've read, it gets way better gas mileage than the newer Japanese-made products (Mazda 3, Nissan Versa) and Korean-made (Chevy Aveo, Hyundai). Moreover, I bought mine for 11,100. The SRT short-throw shifter is available from the dealer for under $200, which I bought and installed easily myself, making it even more fun to drive. It's larger than my best friend's Audi A4, and costs literally one third as much.
