I had a Neon ACR before this... A/C was extra if you wanted it. They sold a lot early, but the second gen sold under 700 over two years. Factory legal camber to -2.3° and instructions for shooting the struts in the service manual was such a cheap (for the company) solution to legal competitive advantage racing. Its the little stuff...

All that would probably add a hundred pounds though, a lot in the usual extra drivers in a premium sound setup. I still have a set of seats with all the goodies from one of my other Neons and they weigh a ton. And I had to think hard about the heated seats. I also road trip in the car, so those are nice, especially since I like it ten degrees cooler than my wife does... I'll fix the stereo myself...

Really, I was very happy there's no useless crap I hate that I had to get.
