JD Powers only gives them a 2 out of a possible five. (Note that they don't actually give 1's, probably so they don't completely insult the manufacturers.) I commonly hear about Neons that blow head gaskets and such from people who don't race them or push them hard. I hope the quality of the SRT-4 engine is better. (in reply to Willis_93ES) Post #: 32

I know someone that had a 1st gen 2.0L SOHC Neon and was pedal to the floorboard every time he drove it and as I warned him it blew the head gasket and he drove it with a blown head gasket for about a year before it went completely to hell. I raced my '99 Neon R/T, which was a late '99 with the replacement MLS (Multi Layer Steel) head gasket from the factory, and it never had a problem one with it's head gasket and continued to be ran down the dragstrip after I sold it. Sport Compact Car magazine took apart an SRT-4 2.4L Turbo engine to see what it's made of and had nothing but raves about it and it's quality ans strength, so I really don't see too many breaking unless they are from owner/operator modifications, error or ignorance. _____________________________ 71 Plymouth Roadrunner 440 Auto.
