I'm gunna have to agree with Orion on this. It's a neon... alotta people don't like neons.. myself being one of those people. I hate the looks of them and I refuse to buy a gm vehicle because of reliability issues. HOWEVER, I have had absolutely no problems with toyotas.. u can beat tha shit outta them and they'll keep running.. I would rather have a scion vs a neon bc of reliability alone. And you can ALWAYS make it faster then a neon... believe me. I've seen people make a goddamn tercel run 9's... it can be done... just takes time and money as well as knowledge.
