Chevy V6 = crap. Almost crap on a stick, but they're nothing to shake a stick at, so just crap. In fact, even Chevy thinks they're crap now, puttin Honda motors in numorous new vehicles, including '05 Malibu and '04 Saturns.

Chevy V6's do not suck. Naturally I'm going to defend my 4.3l V6.
The mileage I'm posting is all from V6 engines used in the S-10. AntiRice: 03 with 562 miles, and a 94 with 202,600 John Hammer: I have an offer on the line for an 84 s-10 for $2300 with 150,000Selling 84 S-10 Cobra1: 176,000 on my 95 4.3 CPI (SiC)(sIc)6: 995 Sonoma w/ 170,000 miles. STILL RUNNIN STRONG! dknutt: My 94' has 122,000 My '95 4.3 has 159k. Still strong. BadasS10: My friends 94' has 208,000 miles 98blazin: Got a 94 with 251,000 rebuilt at 249,000 LaynLo17: my 97 s-10 is up to 56k now the 90 blazer got 230K Come on, if all Chevy V6's = suck, how could so many people have over 100-200,000 miles on these engines? It's not like thats all of them either I could post more if I have to.

For the record, I do not think all GM V6s are junk. In fact, some of them are as good as anything out there. |

hmm I think its rather funny dodge is kickin ass with the 4 banger
I've seen some pretty kick ass neons before.. and to think the upgrades that are going to be available for it. I only wish Buick would've stuck with the 3.8 turbo, instead of going the 3800SC, but oh well I got no regrets with the SC motor. |

To This Novadk Guy. I Work For A Chrysler Dealer, And I Drive A 98 Neon That Of Course Had The Head Problem. Other Than That No Problems, I'm Getting Up On 93 K And Haven't Even Had A Bulb Go Out. As For The Srt 4, I Think It's Going To Be A Great Car. The Techs I Work With Mostly Drive Dodge, Then Chevy Then Ford. No I Haven't Done Any Mods To My Car, But I'm Driving A Sohc And It Takes A Beating Coming Up The Highway. My First Car Was A 78 Z28, Loved That Car Thought I Would Always Be A Chevy Chick, I Got In A Bad Way A Couple Of Years Ago And My Dad Gave Me A 87 Cavalier With 253 K And I Drove It For A Year, Bought The Neon And Think It's Great. Yeah One Of The Pushes For The Neon Is Getting It Worked On By People I Work With, But Now I'm Thinking About Buying The Srt 4, But That;s Because Of It's Performance. The Reason It's Price Tag Is Low Is Because Chrysler's Stock Isn't Selling For 8 Bucks A Share Like Ford Or About 30 For G.m.. Right Now Chrysler Has The Best Warranty When It Comes To Domestic..

honestly i'll say my neon has had problems... but only cause i beat the crap out of it and with 160000km and only investing 1000 dollars over the last 6 months it's in perfect running condition again... so anyone who says dodge is crap, is full of crap....

Well, you are comparing an import and domestic The base Evolution RS in Japan cost around 2.74million Yen which is less than $25,000USD |

Go into the topic listing for the Neon forum, over half the threads are just problems with peoples cars
Hell, even the "targeted sponsor links" thing at the top. When I go to the Subaru section, it's things like "Rallyperformance.com, buy your parts from us", in here its all about lemon laws You have to admit that looks a little... off. In case you're wondering why people think they're bad quality. |

I have to get in on this one. I have a 2000 Neon and it rocks!!!!! 76,000 miles on it and it hasn't had one single problem ever. And I rod the shit out of it. Tough car. PERIOD! The reason most people have so many problems with their cars is they forget to change their oil or even check under the hood. Maintenance is a must have. Secondly the reason all the hype is over imports is because they make so many easy to get mods for them. Look in any catalog and you'll see everything for the import crap! Few manufacturers make anything for a Neon. It's hard to modify a domestic. But thank God that the Neon is one of the exceptions because they are the only most popular domestic models that companies make performance parts for. It is truly the exceptional that can make a high performance Neon. Any nerd with cash can build up a Civic. Give me a bone stock Neon and a bone stock Rice Grinder and lets see the Dyno. Nuff said!!!
