I bet the Honda Civic has a better crash test rating though. The Neon is classified one of the worst on the side impact rating. I believe the rest of the car is ok though.

Yeah the Neon has a side impact rating of 3 out of 5 stars or "Marginal to Acceptable" safety, and the rest of the car has 4 out of 5 with a "Good" rating. The four door Civic on the other hand has an overall safety rating of 4.5 out of 5, and the Coupe version had a lower front side impact rating of 3 out of 5 stars.

Its not that low, i mean your not gonna die instantly or be deformed for life if you got hit from the side...unless you get hit by a mssive SUV or a semi-truck, but if you get hit from the side by either of those vehicvles, it doesnt matter what sport compact your in...

As for the things you want in a car, the Neon is still your best bet...
