My Porsche is hella expensive to run (needs a $2500 service every 30,000 miles on top of normal wear and tear), and I need a winter beater... So ive been lookin'

A friend of mine has a '97 16 valve (DOHC) 2.0 Dodge Neon. It's an auto ******, I hate autos, but it's in decent shape and he's gonna fix the timing belt, and put some new tires on it and I can have it for about 1000-750 bucks. I will HAVE to customize the seat because my knees are ON the dash....

Waht is everyone's experience here with Dawdge Nehons?

aside from being ugly, they are tiny as hell insdie. my ex grilffriend had one and i drove it now and again (04 tho) and im 6'2" and i barely fit. i had to sit all weird so i could be semi comfertable.

going from porsche to neon is going to be a big and unhappy change.

I don't care about the looks... But fitment is important.

you would look like a clown getting into it

They have bad headgaskets, bad window regulators, and the typical bad dodge transmissions.

It will not end up being a budget car in the long run.

That's how I look no matter what... //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/uhoh.gif.c07307dd22ee7e63e22fc8e9c614d1fd.gif

This will just be a downgrade from clown to amusing hobo.
