The NEON, IMHO, is a good car, biggest issue prior to mid '99 was a
headgsket problem, but that was resloved with a newer gasket. You may
wish to go to a bit newer version as frst year cars sometimes
encounter growing pains. I have a 1998 and it is great, no problems, it
has a manual tansmission and the double over head cam (DOHC)engine that
was an option. I get about 27-29 MPG city and at 70-75 on the
Interstate 38.5-40 MPG. If your daugher can drive a standard I would
look at that as the early automatics were only three speed and had no
overdrive. Second generation 2001 I beleive went to a four speed
overdrive auto that helped both performance and fuel economy.
