Any NEON owners out there?
I say my Neon is a good car, but it does seem a bit high-maintenance. Mine still has lower miles on it, so reading this thread now I'm worried what post-100k will bring. lol.
I think Neons do handle very well, but they have to be kept in check or the handling goes to crap easily. Very sensitive to the road but from what I've experienced (have extensively driven other small cars like Cavalier, Mazda 323 and Sentra) and none were luxury rides that handle bumps well. Same goes for brakes. They make the discs/drums so small that pads wear out and rotors need turned or replaced constantly. That seemed especially true on the Sentra, but at the time new rotors were like $12 each.
