Driving
This car is a pleasure to drive. Although it lack pull at lower revs, it accelerates well and cruises happily for long journeys.
Performance
Outstanding performance - the auto can out-do many a manual car on a sprint.

Living with it
Reliability
The only issue with reliability is the auto transmissions. They are prone to fallure on inner-city-driven Neons due to heat. On my second gearbox in 52,000 miles and this one is playing up.
Image
Is a real head-turner. If you are a car enthusiast then look to the American Dodge Neon R/Ts for your styling cues.
Comfort
Very comfortable car to drive long distance and the front seats encourage you to sit properly and not slouch like on other cars.

Security and Service
Security
The standard immobiliser does the trick, but if fitting an aftermarket-alarm, get the professionals to do it as space in the engine compartment is very tight.
Service
They offer a good level of service but the cost of services, etc, is over the top.
