The Dodge Neon, a compact car produced by Chrysler from 1994 to 2005, enjoyed a successful run, particularly in the late 1990s and early 2000s. The 2002 model year, the subject of this service repair manual, marked a significant shift for the Neon. After receiving a mild facelift in 1999, the 2002 model year saw the introduction of a new, more powerful 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, replacing the previous 1.8-liter unit. This engine upgrade, coupled with a revised suspension and a more refined interior, helped the Neon maintain its competitive edge in the increasingly competitive compact car segment. Additionally, the 2002 Neon offered a variety of trim levels, including the base SE, the sporty SRT-4, and the value-oriented LX, each catering to different needs and preferences.
