The well-equipped and good value although it lacks direct rivals for purposes of comparison. Looks as cool as the Beetle, but bigger and more practical.
Three-year warranty gives peace of mind; too early to tell what long-term reliability will be like, but Chrysler Neon has proved to be below average for faults.
Steering wheel is big but precise; long-stalked gear shift is surprisingly quick and fluent; easy to drive with plenty of grip and adequate handling; brakes could be more responsive; body roll when cornered hard; rear visibility is a little restricted by pillars and head rests; starting routine is fiddly - you have to hold down both the brake and clutch.
The well-equipped and good value although it lacks direct rivals for purposes of comparison. Looks as cool as the Beetle, but bigger and more practical.
Not as spacious as some medium MPVs - more like a big hatchback; room for five adults with good leg- and headroom; upright rear bench seat may get uncomfortable on long journeys; useful casual stowage space as well as a big boot.
Did poorly in US crash tests although there are no Euro NCAP results yet; front airbags; ABS and traction control on senior models.
Attractive to thieves, but an alarm and immobiliser with remote central are standard; there’s even a lockable glovebox; safest to fit a tracking system.
