I'm fairly certain he was referring to rice cars in general. Since Honda's are the most prevalent, I believe that's why he chose that make. And, technically, it's a Dodge. Small difference, but if we're gonna get into semantics here.......
The distinguishing difference is that I treated like a POS and knew it was a POS.
Once i never said i treated my car like it was gold. And two i wouldn't say it's a peice of shit. You don't have one so you have to right to to make an uneducated desition on whether it is or not a POS. And i don't care what the freckin car books say or you "car educated" friends
You might not think it's a POS, but Neons are known for being problematic. Areas of concern are the following: air bags, child seat, brakes, power assist, cruise control, suspension, and engine failure (especially, when it's placed in an Intrepid--big car + small motor = failure).
I think you mean to say "you don't have one so you have no right to make an uneducated guess." If so, this statement is erroneous. There are a multitude of ways that one can make a judgement on a product rather than just owning one. Talking to mechanics, checking my ODI link in the car thread, speaking on forums, and reading reviews are all a number of ways one could make an accurate assessment of car--and you wouldn't even have to drive the car.
For example, take the Intel Prescott CPU. Froming reading reviews on the web I know the following: it runs hot, runs slower clock for clock than a Northwood on average, doesn't overclock as well, has limited motherboard support, and a lack of 64bit extensions. I can safely conclude from this that it is not a processor I want to own.
If you have a newer than 2002 Neon, many of the common Neon problems might never pop up. If you're happy with your Neon, than all the more power to you. It's also your choice not to listen to said car books/people. However, you will need to listen to your wallet if what those car people/book is true.
EDIT:
Dam. Didn't even notice there was a 2nd page. Kinda makes my responce redudant. Ah well. At least it's not any different than the rest of my posts on Kalnet.
