The 2004 Dodge Neon and SRT-4, while distinct in performance and styling, share a common foundation. Both are compact cars built on Chrysler's 'Platform 4', carrying the legacy of the Dodge Neon, a popular entry-level car that hit the market in 1994. The 2004 model year saw the Neon undergoing a facelift, with revised front and rear styling, and the introduction of the SRT-4 variant. The standard Neon offered a choice of two engines: a 2.0L four-cylinder producing 132 horsepower and a 2.4L four-cylinder with 150 horsepower. Both engines were mated to a five-speed manual or a four-speed automatic transmission. The Neon was lauded for its affordability, fuel efficiency, and practicality, making it a popular choice for first-time car buyers and those seeking economical transportation.

The SRT-4, however, was a performance-oriented version of the Neon. Powered by a turbocharged 2.4L four-cylinder engine producing a remarkable 215 horsepower and 250 lb-ft of torque, the SRT-4 transformed the Neon into a hot hatch. Paired with a Getrag six-speed manual transmission, the SRT-4 boasted impressive acceleration and handling capabilities. The SRT-4 also received unique styling elements, including a more aggressive front fascia, a rear spoiler, and larger wheels and tires. These features, combined with the performance enhancements, made the SRT-4 a desirable choice for enthusiasts seeking a fun-to-drive and affordable sports car. Despite its popularity, the 2004 Dodge Neon and SRT-4 were discontinued after the 2005 model year, making way for the Caliber.
