The National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA) provides 3
different ratings -
full-width frontal crash test
,
side impact crash test
, and
rollover resistance
. The frontal crash test indicates how
well the safety features and restraints
will protect an occupant in a head-on
collision. The side-impact test conveys
the chance of a severe chest injury,
while the rollover resistance rating
estimates the risk of rolling over in a
single vehicle crash.

Summary:
|
Two brands, one quality car
By Professional Test Driver, NewCarTestDrive.com
This new entry-level vehicle is very competitive in its value-for-the-money factor. It boasts a number of best-in-class ratings: base horsepower and torque, shift effort, handling, aerodynamic drag coefficient, structural stiffness, front and rear legroom, rear-seat ingress and egress, and climate control operation. We found the Plymouth Neon a delight to drive with the combination of its handling and power. Chrysler has worked hard to develop a fun-to-drive vehicle and, from our accounts, the company is succeeding. Chrysler also has done well in presenting a distinctive exterior that imparts a friendly - almost cuddly - appearance to prospective customers. Before we get overly gushy here, we should remind you that there are some interior flaws - storage, engine noise and rear visibility - that need to be addressed, especially for a car that can reach $15,000 in price. But these relatively minor concerns shouldn't stand in your way the next time you visit a Plymouth or Dodge dealer to test drive a Neon. |
|
Overview:
|
When Chrysler set out to create a dramatic new model with the Neon, it developed a unique marketing approach as well. The standard-setting compact vehicle, which has now been benchmarked by import automakers for its engineering design, paved new ground by marketing two brands under one image - identical cars with only a surname difference. The goal of the Plymouth/ Dodge Neon was to reach a new and larger group of small-car buyers who were disenchanted with the lack of standard safety features, interior room and, particularly, fun in their vehicles. To address these and other concerns, the Neon offered a new engine that boasted the most horsepower in its class, the longest wheelbase in the small-car segment, standard dual airbags and side-impact protection. And all this was done at a yer-kiddin' base price of $8975. The Neon sedan has been a sellout since its introduction in January 1994 as a '95 model. It was joined by the Neon coupe, which has been in production since late fall of '94. The Neon 5-passenger sedan comes in three trim levels - base, Highline and Sport - while the coupe is available in Highline and Sport only. An array of options nearly as long as the Neon's 104 in. wheelbase is offered individually or in a variety of packages. A top-of-the-line, trim-packaged Neon, such as our test model Highline, can screech around corners for a price above $15,000. Our test car came with an option package that included air conditioning, power door locks, dual remote exterior mirrors, 4-wheel anti-lock brakes (ABS), 3-speed automatic transmission and a CD player. This boosted the price to $15,042, including destination charge.
