Dodge Neon
| | Model of the car: | Dodge Neon | | | General comments: | The Dodge Neon. Hmmm. Nice car. Great brakes. Mediocre gas mileage. No range.If I ran the zoo, I'd buy a fleet of Neons for all my detectives. Once they got over the initial status loss, they'd be sent to a FWD performance driving course. From there, they'd be wishing they'd purchased one earlier.Day-to-day, any citizen can drive a Neon. You push the envelope, you'd better be FWD trained. I swear, there's nothing finer than taking some young cop studling and kicking his living ass in one of our standard 3-speed automatic whitebread 4-door Neons on the cornering course. Okay, so I've got it locked out in first and maybe second. His 3,900-pound, 215 HP Interceptor should make up for it all, right?Uh, yeah. . .NOT!But you'd BETTER know how to drive a FWD.Okay, so maybe I run a Neon more to the ragged edge than will most Neon owners. I don't think of this as necessarily a bad thing. Makes me wonder what a Neon RT will do.I still hate the roll-up windows. | | | What things have gone wrong with the car: | Any time I have to roll down a window manually, that's a bad thing. Any time I have to lock a door manually, that's a bad thing. The rake of the body makes backing difficult. Poopy gas mileage. Poopy range. Hey, Dodge, ever think of making a gas tank bigger than a fish tank? | | | Previous car: | 2000 and 2001 Ford Crown Victoria and Police Interceptor. I teach emergency and pursuit training to cops on a response course with few straights and many corners. In summation, I'll kick your ass on this course with my stupid county-purchased Dodge Neon. |
