NEONS SUCK!!!!!

There...I just thought I'd jump on the bandwagon....I'm thinking of selling my old shatty underpowered Neon, and getting a $17,000 automatic 127hp Civic.....I think my only reason as to why I should sell the Neon is because "it's still a Neon"....

Pissed off just a bit? Despite the popular beliefs, not everyone thinks neons are bad cars. I couldn't think of another low cost compact car I'd rather have for auto-x, and if the dealer markup wasn't so damn retarded, I'd be driving an SRT-4 right now.

My old GF have a silver 99 2 door and it sucked ***.

And thus, the ignorant 7thgeners start making their way into the post...

Getting sick? Why? Cause you don't like the way that it looks? Or that it's the fastest FWD car you can buy?

1) Neither does the 7thgen civic sedan
2) This isn't the 70's anymore. Domestics have come a long way from back then.
Where was your 7thgen civic made? Right here in the USA & Canada.
3) Try way faster.
