The Dodge Neon, a compact car produced by Chrysler from 1994 to 2005, was a significant player in the affordable compact car segment. The 1997 to 2004 model years, specifically, saw the second generation of the Neon, which brought significant changes to the car. This generation was known for its sporty handling, relatively powerful engine options, and affordable price point. The Neon's success was underscored by its ability to attract young drivers, budget-minded consumers, and even some enthusiasts. The car was available in various trim levels, including the base model, the sporty "R/T," and the more luxurious "SE." Under the hood, the 1997-2004 Neon was powered by a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, which offered varying power outputs depending on the chosen trim. The base models boasted 132 horsepower, while the R/T, with its performance upgrades, could achieve 150 horsepower. These engines were mated to a five-speed manual transmission as standard, with a four-speed automatic option available. Furthermore, the second-generation Neon was known for its well-balanced chassis and capable suspension, providing a fun and engaging driving experience. However, the car also faced criticism for its unremarkable interior quality and somewhat low fuel efficiency. Despite these drawbacks, the Dodge Neon remained a popular choice for buyers seeking a practical, affordable, and relatively fun-to-drive compact car.
