The 2005 Dodge Neon, a compact car produced by the American automaker Dodge, was the final iteration of the second generation Neon, which made its debut in 1994. The 2005 model year saw some minor revisions, primarily focusing on interior and exterior updates. This generation of the Neon, known for its affordability, offered a range of powertrain options, including a 1.6L four-cylinder engine producing 115 horsepower, paired with a five-speed manual or a four-speed automatic transmission. A more powerful 2.0L four-cylinder, generating 132 horsepower, was also available, usually matched to a five-speed manual or a four-speed automatic transmission. The Neon's design was characterized by its angular lines, a prominent grille, and round headlights. The interior, while functional, was considered somewhat basic, featuring a simple dashboard layout and cloth upholstery.

Despite its affordable price point, the 2005 Dodge Neon wasn't without its shortcomings. The ride quality was often criticized as being harsh, and the interior offered limited sound insulation, resulting in a noisy cabin, particularly on rough roads. While the fuel economy was adequate for its time, the Neon wasn't considered particularly fuel-efficient compared to its competitors. Safety features were basic, with ABS only becoming standard on the higher trim levels. Despite these drawbacks, the 2005 Dodge Neon remained a popular choice for budget-minded buyers, offering reliable transportation at an attractive price. However, the Neon's production was discontinued in 2005, marking the end of an era for this iconic compact car.
