The Dodge Neon SRT-4, a performance-oriented compact car, was produced from 2003 to 2005, and was based on the second-generation Neon platform. The SX-2.0-SRT-4 designation highlighted its sporty nature, which was further enhanced by the potent 2.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine, producing a remarkable 215 horsepower and 250 lb-ft of torque. This engine was paired with a Getrag 230 five-speed manual transmission, delivering a thrilling driving experience. The SRT-4's exterior featured aggressive styling, including a distinctive front fascia with a large air intake, side skirts, a rear spoiler, and 17-inch alloy wheels. Inside, the cabin provided a sporty ambiance with Recaro bucket seats, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and a performance-oriented instrument cluster. The Neon SRT-4 was not just about raw power but also handled remarkably well, thanks to upgraded suspension components, larger brakes, and a wider track compared to the standard Neon.

While the Dodge Neon SRT-4 was admired for its performance and affordability, it was also known for its reliability challenges. The turbocharged engine, while potent, was prone to issues with the turbocharger and intercooler, while the transmission was susceptible to premature wear. However, the SRT-4's performance and distinctive styling made it a popular choice among enthusiasts who were willing to accept its potential reliability drawbacks. The Neon SRT-4 played a significant role in establishing Dodge's reputation for producing affordable performance cars, paving the way for future models like the Caliber SRT-4 and the Challenger. Despite its production ending in 2005, the Dodge Neon SRT-4 remains a highly sought-after vehicle in the enthusiast community, a testament to its powerful engine and unique character.
