My Neon has been pretty good for the most part...even survived a 40 mph front end collision. I get it serviced religiously and when a problem does come up get it fixed ASAP so that other crap doesnt go wrong with it. It also has its creaks and rattles, but it is 4 years old, lowered, and has a big stereo system which has some effect on that. The one huge downfall sadly, is the resale value. Let's just say my wheels are worth more than the car now

Mine's done ok for the most part...but if you don't take care of it, it will go to shit sooner than a maintained Neon. If I had to do it all over again knowing what I know now I would go get a Volkswagen...preferably the newest one but it will be awhile before I can afford brand new again.

Thanks for that. Yep the Skyline belongs to my hubby. He's only had it for a just over a month.

I first fell in love with the FTO when playing Gran Turismo. It was then that I decided I had to have one!!!

A 40mph collision and the didnt total the car? Thats sounds pretty unbelievable. How in the world did the frame stay straight after something that fast. Either you were sitting still with the car in nuetral and somebody hit you or you ran into something that broke away. If your car stopped going from 40-0 without getting launched (transfer of energy) the car must be made out of titanium.

I made a left turn into a small pickup...his back tire ran over my bumper and also crumpled the hood and fenders. I was turning into a drive way going about 5 and he was going 35. The very front end took most of the damage. The only major mechanincal damage was the ac and radiator. The tranny, suspension, and motor were fine. The frame was fine too. Airbags did not deploy. I know it sounds unbelieveable but I think the Man upstairs was lookin out for me.

Nothing wrong with the big guy upstairs lending a hand now and then. I hope it doesnt happen again.

The damage looks alot nastier than it is. As crumpled up as the bumper got (the actual metal bumper) it did not hit my airbag sensors...that is why they didn't go off.
