Chrysler Neon 1996
  • Economy

    Value

    5 out of 5 5.0

    A lot of car for your money and very exclusive (105 ever made).

    Costs

    2 out of 5 2.0

    Lucky to get better than 30mpg in typical driving, because it's just too much fun to drive.

  • On the road

    Driving

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Light, agile, loads of fun to drive with very responsive controls.

    Performance

    4 out of 5 4.0

    0-60 in under 9s. No one beats you at the lights. Feels right as you floor the pedal.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    3 out of 5 3.0

    No problems yet, *fingers crossed*.

    Very rare car. Only 105 Neon CSs ever made for the UK.

    Comfort

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Full leather and huggy seats make up for the bumpy ride.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    1 out of 5 1.0

    CAT2 hidden immobiliser makes it hard to steel.

    Service

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Only dealt with them once, so too soon to comment, but there is something about walking into a Porsche dealership for spares.
