Chrysler Neon 2.0 LX 4d Auto (1999/T) Owner Review

Economy
Value
High depreciation from new means excellent used car prices. A lot of car for your money.
Costs
Servicing and parts are about average. Fuel consumption about average for 2 litres.

On the road
Driving
A very firm chassis gives good handling, feels solid and safe and corners great. Slightly noisy at speed because of stiff suspension.
Performance
Quick off the mark for auto box. Holds its own amongst the manuals. Good turn of speed, powerful engine.

Living with it
Reliability
Engines in these cars are very reliable. Keep up the main dealer servicing for a good return.
Image
Neons are not well known, but a nice rounded shape rather than square corners, confident style statement.
Comfort
Comfy seats and climate control and good driving position make for easy driving.

Security and Service
Security
Remote central locking and immobiliser do an adequate job. If they want it, they'll get it anyway, regardless.
Service
Pleasant when selling the car or services; not so hot to correct minor faults.
