The 2005 Dodge Neon was a compact car that marked the final year of production for the second generation of the Neon model. Introduced in 1994, the Neon aimed to provide an affordable and reliable transportation option for budget-conscious consumers. The 2005 model year saw the discontinuation of the base Neon model in favor of the SXT trim, which was aimed at providing a sportier driving experience. The 2005 Neon SXT was powered by a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine producing 132 horsepower and 130 lb-ft of torque, paired with either a five-speed manual or a four-speed automatic transmission. It featured a revised suspension for enhanced handling and a more aggressive exterior styling with a lower air dam and larger wheels. However, despite these updates, the 2005 Neon SXT continued to have a reputation for being rather basic and lacking in features compared to competitors.

The 2005 Dodge Neon SRT-4, on the other hand, was a performance-oriented variant that shared its platform with the SXT but featured a significantly more powerful engine and a host of performance-enhancing upgrades. The SRT-4 was powered by a turbocharged 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine producing a formidable 215 horsepower and 250 lb-ft of torque. This engine was paired exclusively with a Getrag six-speed manual transmission, enabling the SRT-4 to achieve a 0-60 mph time of around 6.2 seconds. The SRT-4 also received larger brakes, a sport-tuned suspension, and a unique body kit that included a larger front spoiler and side skirts. The Neon SRT-4 was acclaimed for its potent performance and affordability, making it a popular choice among enthusiasts seeking a relatively inexpensive way to enter the performance car market. The 2005 model year marked the final year of production for the Neon SRT-4, cementing its status as a cult classic among Dodge enthusiasts.
