People can dump on Neons all they want and yes a lot of them are garbage (shoddy build and design).
However, when they came out in the mid 90's they were very competitive. Good looking design, great power for the class and solid handling.
Of course you could grab a Civic or Corrolla and yes they were put together very well and were nice to drive...but if you actually wanted to get somewhere in a hurry you grabbed the Neon vs the gutless Civic or Corrolla.
The original DOHC Neon Coupe (anyone who purchased a Neon with that stupid 3spd automatic deserves to be tea bagged by there own grandfather) in 95 was the spirtual successor to the B13 SE-r except the Neon was a lot cheaper.
The later redesign of the Neon pimped it's rental car factor at the expense of "purchase worthiness" Chrysler made up for it by releasing the SRT4.
Yes, it may "just be a Neon" but when relased it was better than anything in the price range.
"Well the Civic is more refined"
Shut up fruitcake. Go fucking wine tasting or something.
