Well, if you want to look at it in the sales-pitch view (like comparing
bhp number), look at what A4 provides that Neon does not -- 5-valve per
cylinder; turbo (which means a lot easier performance boost); virtual
steering that almost eliminates power steer tugging game; AWD; really cool
pop-up headlight washer; 16-inch wheels; and last and not least -- four
rings fore and aft -- which means you're not meeting one of the same copy
every 2.5 minutes.

On the other hand, if you're me-too kinda person, go for Neon.
