[@LS1007]

The SRT/4 was quicker than the 2006 Charger R/T I had. Crazy! They should make a Neon turbo with AWD. Nice video. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@MarspeedCars]

Yeah the SRT4 was surprisingly very fast, mid 5s is pretty quick for a car of like $20k

[@syxepop]

Marspeed, problem with that is that the turbo supplier is in no way able to provide one for any FCA vehicles and that would be MITSUBISHI (now partially owned by Nissan). Yes, the SRT-4 is related to the Lancer Evolution, difference is Chrysler used the largest version (2.4L) of the OG World Engine (developed by Chrysler, Mitsubishi and Hyundai before the joint venture dissolved) with a lower turbo pressure (not to totally compete with the Lancer Evolution and its US-spec 290hp), while Mitsubishi used the smaller 2.0L and a higher turbo pressure.

[@LS1007]

Mitsubishi does not have a monopoly on turbos. They could get one from another manufacturer if they wanted to.

[@syxepop]

L S, no but... FCA doesn't have a reliable turbo manufacturer with which they would develop the system for such (also understanding the vehicle would be profitable, which FCA doesn't think so).

[@spavatch]

Mind you, Fiat Tipo is currently one of the best selling cars of the compact segment in Europe. And it comes as a hatchback and a station wagon as well and includes such options as adaptive cruise control with automated emergency braking. And I'm glad to report that there are no technical anomalies so far and the built quality is without fault.

[@pilskadden]

I hardly see any in Denmark, Sweden or Germany. It guess it might be popular as a patriotic choice in Italy. But it is not really competitive in any area except price.

[@spavatch]

@@pilskadden but Denmark and especially Sweden are hardly the determinant of what happens in Europe, now are they? They made half a million Tipos in the past three years, 70 percent of which were sold outside Italy (it was merely the 8th best selling car there). And price is hardly an irrelevant factor, especially when you direct your attention at that particular segment and you are offered with a bigger, roomier car which is better suited for the role of a family runabout for 2/3 of the price of an average compact hatchback.

[@AlecDenston]

Thank God they fixed a lot of first generation issues by the time the 98 rolled out, that is the year I have. Paint still looks fine, 150,000 miles, had to replace the original spark plugs, SP wires, fuel injector and the original starter.

[@DanielRodriguez-rn9pd]

The US market NEEDS the Dodge Srt 4 and the Chevy Cobalt SS back. Those tuner sport compact cars are a huge bang for your buck and with how easy they were to work on/mod they really appealed to me and a lot of drivers. I understand sales didn't necessarily do great, but I think they should've kept the ball rolling and kept evolving them with time.

[@MrRockzoul]

I'm Italian, this is an Italian designed car, manufactured in Turkey (Tipo or Egea). It's a decent sedan, but with all the respect, I think the Dart - which I came to know few mins ago - is way more captivating.

I sold the Neon in 1993, 1994, & 1995 (yes, the car did come out in late 1993 as a '95 model, later, I believe, the early versions were called the 2004.5). At the time, it was a very nice, well equipped "throw away" car (meaning it wasn't a vehicle that would last forever like, say, a BMW 3-Series)(think about how many Neons you still see on the road, and how many 3-Series you come across that are still running and looking top notch). The 1990's Chrysler products were a bit of a renaissance for the manufacturer, hence the reason I decided to sell them. Cab forward was new, and made their cars extremely roomy and a delight to drive. The Dodge Intrepid, Eagle Vision, and Chrysler Concorde, and a year later, the LHS and New Yorker (all "LH Cars") were truly amazing vehicles at the time. I personally have owned 1 Vision Tsi, 2 New Yorkers, and 5 LHS over the years, so obviously, the made a good impression on me. It also was easier to sell a car that I knew and owned... I "believed" in the product. The Neon came out a bit before the Chrysler Cirrus and Dodge Stratus (and later, the Plymouth Breeze)(the latter 3 cars were considered the 'benchmark' for that segment of car... besting the Accord and Camry at the time). Neons sold like hot cakes. They were easy to drive, park, ride in, insure, and to some degree, look at. But we started seeing them come in soon after a customer would buy one with miscellaneous problems like fitment issues, leaking around the tops of the door/window (the doors were frameless at the top) and wet trunk space. The paint (on all products from Chrysler in that time...didn't present till several years down the road) was terrible with peeling clearcoat being the most common problem. A/C compressors weren't powerful enough to cool the car for extended periods, and head gaskets were problematic. I did not sell the 2nd generation Neon as I "got out of the business" for something that was more profitable and took less of my time... no more 12-14 hour, 6 days a week jobs for me! I'm not sure how well they held up, but my Uncle does have a 2001 model SXT that he bought second hand... one that had been wrecked and not fixed well, but that starts up and gets him to work problem free, so who knows. Hope my 'testimony' gives you some insight on the Neon or was at least entertaining to some degree lol! And Marspeed, how about some video info on the LH cars by Chrysler or maybe on the '84-92 Lincoln Mark VII, '90-97 Town Car, the entire Cadillac lineup, the '96-02 and '03-07 MB E-Class, or the Volvo 850/S70/V70???

I use to own a 1995 Neon and it ran pretty good when I drove it from Southern California to Northern Nevada. The only real problem I had with it was when I had to replace the spark plug wires. At first I thought it was the fuel pump the reason why it had low power but other than that it ran great until I got into an accident with it....they should come out with this but in pure electric form if they are going to keep the hp low to save more money. I can see this being a bargain as easier to obtain for people that want to own a pure electric vehicle without paying Tesla prices. Personally I think I would go with the Mitsubishi Mirage that can get up to 55mpg and cost around $10,000 with 10 years of warranty. And the Mirage comes in Hatchback and sedan form.

[@adamtrombino106]

Bought a 96 highline sedan new. Honestly, worst cat I've ever owned. Everything failed except oddly enough the a/c and auto trans. My paint didn't peel, but it did rust badly in the lower door seams as well as the dog leg in frt of the rear wheels. The doors rusted out from the insides due to poor window seals, which they never could get to fit right. I had constant problems with the rear brakes as well, until I found out about a TSB which changed the semi metallic shoes to organic 1s. That finally fixed the noise and rear lock up tendencies when wet. I got rid of it with just over 100k on it. We got an 07 after that, and it was a much better car, though didn't handle as well as the 96 did, and was slower... Used more fuel too. I'm glad you pointed out the the 16 and up Neons sold overseas is not a scaled down Dart/200. It's a completely different platform with completely different drivetrains. I doubt they will be sold here, as it cost FCA so much $ to meet our EPA emissions and crash tests for the Dart/200, that as you pointed out previously, FCA barely made a dime on them. I can't see FCA trying that experiment again and losing so much. I don't mind the look of it though, and it seems to have the features 1 would expect from a basic small sedan. BUT when 1 puts them up against the long history of reliability from Honda Civic and Toyota Corolla , Fiat falls flat. Simple truth.

[@brandonruhl1639]

I think FCA should bring the new neon to North America but do not use those engine choices. I think they should use the 1.3 L turbo engine from the new jeep renegade. That engine is surprisingly powerful and it would make this car very fun to drive. Overall I really like the styling of it, I think it’s a very good looking car and I think the srt4 probably isn’t a good idea because they should price the car lower then most cars in its class and market it towards first time new car buyers and College and university graduates to sell a good amount of them. I think they should also have an optional all wheel drive just in case you live in an Area they gets harsh winters. The car needs to have a bunch of different radio and stereo options to appeal to the younger buyers because a lot of younger people love to drive their cars while listening to music. I do believe this car would sell extremely well in North America.

Like any compact, the issue is all the weight you have to add to make the stupid car qualify for the US market. If they could just import the car with the Hurricane motor when it comes online, it could be a success for little investment.

Um....Mexico is in North America.

Damn you’re right, I made the mistake of thinking it was Central America. Will change up that title

What's an h83r?

George Martin sounds it out bud h-8-e-r (hater) !

[@georgemartin4963]

I just corrected a mistake that Marspeed graciously acknowledge. You then decided to attack my character. I find it ironic by falsely accusing me as a hater you have exposed yourself as being the real hater.

I had an 05 Neon R/T, that thing was fun as hell to drive even with it quirks.

Why do American auto manufacturers make better cars for other markets but not us?

[@troymi1648]

Yes it should be sold in the US & Canada but under an all new name.

[@AlexAutoFun]

Great video, super informative, it would be awesome to see the return of the SRT4!

[@jediknightjairinaiki560]

WHY all the different model names and options? Wouldn't it be more cost effective and thus more profitable to make fewer, more well equipped models?

[@buddy8225]

Who cares about taking out the competition. I just want one.

[@EV6CrashCam]

Woah, why does it actually look good?

[@DexDexD3x]

Had an '05 Neon with 179k on it. 1st and reverse would grind when you put it in gear (was a 4 speed auto). The steering column would also catch fire if you tried using the right turn signal specifically. So glad I don't have that car anymore lol. Though, the later years of the first gen were good cars like this video mentioned. '00-'03 were the best years for the 2nd gen, especially because the automatic trans at the time was still the 3 speed and that thing is way more reliable than the 4 speed it came with afterwards.

In turkey it is saled as Fiat Egea (Tipo). I have the same red 2018 model.

Srt4 was the fastest fwd production car until the new Type R came out last yearand was grossly underrated on crank hp

I live in Turkey. This car is price 11.000 usd dollar. 1.4 gasoline manual gearbox base model.

Can you imagine seeing someone roll coal in a diesel Neon? 😂😂

[@carlm8821]

Dodge Neons were total POS-disposable throw away, one time use cars! Best for first time drivers, young buyers and those that needed cheap transportation....though the SRT-4 was capable enough and had some fun go-fast goodies!

[@hakeemsd70m]

I thought the neon was always pretty decent at a time. Keep in mind that back in the 90s and early 2000s, most small cars were disposable and throw away, including the Civic and Corolla, just basic transportation. The Neon spiced things up a bit with its fun handling and steering. The only negative I see in both Generations of Neon was its poor crash test results.

[@nelsonquinney2597]

Outstanding

[@jovanies9751]

We complained about the dart having 160 hp. In order to be a big success in north america. We need more power. And reliability.

[@ChristopheZ]

when the Neon came out, I was in College....Dodge actually brought out some Neons to show them off at the students.....I think that car at the time was around 8K...I bought a white 96 Cavalier instead, which I traded in 98 for a brand new white manual Camaro...LOL

The Dodge Neon will be back and gone just like the Dodge Dart.

[@AAATowDriver]

SRT4 needs to come back. I recall my friends 350z racing one back in 05. That SRT-4's little 4 banger had some balls compared to the VQ.

[@mohannadosama8041]

I can confidently say after test driving an SXT plus in UAE .. that this is probably IMHO is the best car in its segment.. people in UAE tend to prefer the Japanese cars since they extremely popular in the country.
