The 1997 Chrysler Dodge Neon, a compact car that revolutionized the automotive landscape with its sharp styling and affordability, was a defining model for the Chrysler Corporation. This second-generation Neon, introduced in 1995, boasted a sleek and modern design that departed from the boxy shapes of its predecessors. With its distinctive "bubble" headlamps, a low-slung profile, and a large, aggressive grille, the Neon immediately captured the attention of young buyers seeking a stylish and economical vehicle. The Neon's interior was equally impressive, featuring a driver-centric layout with a sporty steering wheel and clear instrument panels. The car was available in a variety of trims, including the base model, the sporty SE, and the high-performance R/T, each offering a unique blend of features and performance. Mechanically, the Neon was powered by a range of four-cylinder engines, including a 1.3-liter, a 1.6-liter, and a 2.0-liter unit. The 1.3L and 1.6L engines were designed for fuel efficiency and affordability, while the 2.0L powerplant offered more power and torque in the R/T trim. The Neon's suspension was tuned for handling and agility, making it a fun and engaging car to drive. However, the Neon's reputation for reliability was somewhat tarnished by issues with its engine and transmission, as well as a tendency for rusting. Despite these shortcomings, the 1997 Neon remained a popular choice for young drivers and budget-minded consumers, particularly in its SE trim, which offered a sporty feel and affordable price point. This manual is a comprehensive guide to repairing and maintaining the 1997 Chrysler Dodge Neon, covering everything from routine maintenance to complex engine repairs.
