Like I said, depending on the year.
I remember looking at the 99 and 2000's in 2001 and saw a big difference in the way the were built. Both the frame work and body seemed cheap to me. We owned the 98 Neon for about 4 years before it got wrecked and had no major problems. The only thing was a stress crack on the windshield, which by the way they insisted was a crack from a rock or hard ball and did not want to replace while still under warranty.
