Default It goes without saying...

... that anyone who is incapable of distinguishing an A4 from a Neon deserves to drive a Neon.

I get asked all the time if it is a new Neon. I say it is the new Aztek!

Default I doubt I'll offend anyone...

...but all looks aside, a Neon is a horrible car to drive. One time I got stuck with a rental Neon, it was so bad, I felt like I was driving Fred Flinstones car. When I finally got back in my A4 I could feel its class and refinement. You really can't appreciate your Audi until you've been away from it for a while. Granted, the Neon is dirt cheap, but you get what you pay for with an Audi.

Default For sure...

the comparaison shouldn't even be made past the looks, just not fair for the neon

As a side note, they are a great alternative if you don't like japanese cars (read- civics) and are faster than we can imagine.

Liam

Default Check out the neon acr at my last SOLO I event...

Click on the june 17 results.
I did terrible that day, (no brakes), but it wouldn't have made much of a difference. the only thing stock on that neon was the shift ****.

I fared much better at the may 13th event, when I still had brakes.
