Patently false.
Its safety ratings are mid-pack for compact sedans. In IIHS tests they remarked that body head and trunk protection was excellent, not much dummy movement, but it got less than perfect scores because the dashboard folded in towards the dummy's knee. You will not die from driving this car. I drove an older Neon for two years and I'm still here!
It's also got lots of active safety - good handling and braking to get you out of a crash.
Mike, most of the open-minded car guys I know respect and remember the Neon ACR, and it's 9 years old now. The SRT-4 will be remembered, if not by you.
