Same here... mine (a '95) got up to 350k before I had to get rid of it. I'm currently looking for a rust-free 95-99 manual coupe to replace my Corolla. Those Neons did get great mileage as well, better than a Corolla (although that's a little known fact, I think). I really loved mine.
Slightly more on topic for a skyscraper/urbanism forum, and still car-related, one thing the Americans do much better than us is terms of urban architecture is the styling of those multi-stories parking lots...
Just compare this downtown Sherbrooke picture to what you can see below in downtown Atlanta (behind my fine little 5-spd SOHC 1995 Neon coupe).
Is it so hard to clad them in a way that'd make them bland at least a little bit with the urban fabric? Why can't we?
In some Midwest town...
Here it is parked in downtown Sherbrooke.
