| Description |
| The Chrysler Neon is a budget saloon with plenty of standard equipment but when it comes to looks it really is not that desirable, the interior of the Neon is made cheaply and is not very exciting to drive. The Chrysler Neon does not come highly recommended overall. |

When looking at the standard equipment and specification in the Chrysler Neon you will not be disappointed, it is loaded with Air-conditioning, central locking and so many more gadgets you don’t normally get as standard.
The Chrysler Neon is not a nice car to look at and add nothing new to the Chrysler range. When it comes to the interior, the seating is comfortable but there is a lack of space and the cheaply made dash is not pretty.
The 2.0 Chrysler Neon is a quick car but it is only available in a petrol engine. The R/T model has 150 break horse power and is nice and powerful but when compared to the Vauxhall Astra and Ford Focus the Chrysler Neon would be a poor choice. |
