Page 1, 46% of threads are about a problem, page 2, 50% exactly, page 3 46% again (yes I counted). Keep in mind I'm only going by the thread title, so I may be counting some I shouldn't, but I also may not be counting some I should, so I think it's pretty fair. Now lets see, you mentioned Hondas, Toyotas, and Subarus. Quick count on page 1 on the 92+ Civic forum gets only 16%, Impreza forum gets 0%, and Celica forum gets 6%. I don't think I have to say anything else about that... Quote:

Its time to face the truth, the quality gap between import and Domestic is closing at a staggering pace. |

Seriously, Chrystler has quality issues. It's been proven in the garage. It's been proven on these forums (those percentages by ldelaysionl are pretty hard to argue with, unless you're really ignorant). It's proven by the fact that they offer such a huge warranty. Ever notice who offers the wonderful warrantees? The car companies with quality issues! Wow! Look at Hyundai...why do you think they warrantee their cars so long? History, maybe? If you want to drive a Chrystler, go ahead. But don't claim they're reliable any quicker than I'll claim my Hyundai Accent can outrun your SRT-4. Everyone knows better. |

He's definetly looking to buy! And who could blame him. A Neon is a very nifty car. What with the slick neon body the way it curves and seems to beckon one to drive, supple and seductive like an angel and the way that engine purrs. Slam! that baby into low and go like hell!!! An evil volotile, hemoraging barely containable explosion of force and exhaust!!! Suprise!!! Ultimate sleeper biatch! Hey!! WHO WOULDN'T WANT TO TAKE LIFE BY THE HORNS!? Go with Dodge. Nuff Said!

Looking to buy? No...
Do I think they're cool cars? Yeah, the ACRs, RTs, and SRT4s anyways... Do I think they have quality issues? I know I see Neons driving around all the time with half the body covered in rust. It's not like I live in Minnesota or anything either. They're the only car made in the 90's or later I regularly see with that much rust. |

It's like talking to a brick wall. Reason number 643 why I'll never buy a Neon, the owners. BTW, the 2 threads below this one are both people having problems with overheating, 2 different people, on the same day. |

Hey notice this about the Subaru Impreza site. Most of the cars, well almost all of them are 2000 and up models. Hmmm! Now notice this site all the Neons with problems are 2000 and below almost none of the 2000 Neons and up have any problems. I think you should research your facts a little deeper. Any old car is bound to have problems and issues. When did the Impreza first come out anyways?

In defense of neons (heheh) their owners do have a tendancy to keep their cars longer than impreza owners....and the ones that keep their cars longer are probably doing it because they can't afford something newer, and are therefore going to be the do-it-yourselfers. I dunno...maybe there was a point to be had there. I just know that it's pretty well known that Chryslers are crap. But I wouldn't say no if someone handed me the keys to an SRT-4.
And kudos to Dodge for making it reliable. Now just slap that 70k mile warantee on it and I might trade my Accent in. |

I would also like to point out that the only 2 threads added since the overheating ones I mentioned are a water leak and a fan problem |

If someone handed me the keys to the SRT 4 right now. I'd sure as hell take it. Then turn around and sell it. I'd use the money to bring up my current 2000 Neon. Why? It is too easy to just go out and buy a fast car and smoke people at the light knowing all that you did was buy one. I'd rather customize, customize, customize so that my heart, sweat and blood is inside and out of the car. In that way it will feel more like a part of myself. Anyone who has put time in with the wrench will know exactly what I'm talking about. I make more than enough right now that I can just trade in my 2K for the SRT 4 but I want to see what kind of tricky shit I can do to it first. In one year I'll smoke the SRT 4 cuz it only has 215 horse (right?). 0-60 in I believe 5.8 that is fast but I can make mine much faster. I have huge plans!$$$$$ In reply to all you foreign car owners. GO FOR YOUR OWN! I've got respect enough to say they CAN be fast and reliable. So can the Dodge I'm living proof I've not one single problem with mine and I take good care of it. Just cuz they make the rice mobiles dummy proof doesn't prove shit! Honestly! It is all about the competition on the street and don't say that you can't be left in the dust by a Neon that is just plain ignorance. I know a guy here in my hometown that puts 500 horses to the ground in a 99 Neon. That would be like saying that nothing can beat the SRT 4. Sure there is. My dad's car is over 30 years old and can smoke almost anything on the street including the SRT. Nuff Said! Defensive you say. Hell yeah yer on my turf ricer! This site is for Neon enthusiasts and American pride!! That is right American and that is the biggest reason why I bought a Neon cuz it is Dodge. What am I to do when someone knocks my favorite car? Just bend over and smile? Right! I'll just go to your site and start throwin smack! Then well see who is defensive. And by the way that white thing you got there, you know that picture of that THING. It might be fast and I stress might be. But all in all it is ugly as hell and has the curves of a beetle!

Se, I'm not like you. I'm not a defensive little ricer who gets pissed off just because someone doesn't like my car. I like it, and that's all that matters to me. I know last time I was driving my car, a girl pulled up next to me, said "I love your car, can I have your phone number?" and the guy riding with her says "She wants to fvck you". A week ago I pulled up to a gas station and the girl working the cash register says "That car is nice" and a guy walks out of the back room, looks at it, and says "That's more than nice, that's awesome!". A couple weeks ago a van full of highschool age looking girls pulls up next to me on the passenger side, the driver yells "Nice car!" then about 4 of the girls in the back flash me. So obviously I'm not the only one who likes it. How often does that stuff happen to you in your Neon? |
