The Dodge Neon, a compact car produced by Chrysler from 1994 to 2005, marked a significant shift in the American automotive landscape. The first generation Neon, introduced in 1994, was a budget-friendly, fuel-efficient alternative to larger and more expensive sedans. Its sleek, aerodynamic design and playful personality resonated with younger buyers, establishing it as a popular choice for first-time car owners. While the Neon's early years were marked by praise for its affordability and driving dynamics, it gradually gained a reputation for reliability issues, particularly in its later iterations. The 2004 model year marked the final year of the second-generation Neon, which featured a redesigned exterior, more powerful engine options, and improved interior amenities.

The 2004 Dodge Neon was available in a variety of trim levels, each offering its own unique features and specifications. The base SE trim offered a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine producing 132 horsepower, while the higher-end SXT and R/T models came equipped with a more potent 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine delivering 150 horsepower. The Neon was available with a five-speed manual transmission or a four-speed automatic transmission. The 2004 model year also saw the introduction of several optional features, including air conditioning, power windows and locks, and a CD player. Despite its efforts to improve the Neon's reliability and appeal, the model ultimately faced stiff competition from rivals like the Honda Civic and Toyota Corolla, leading to its eventual discontinuation in 2005. The Dodge Neon's legacy, however, remains intertwined with its affordability, sporty handling, and its role in establishing Dodge as a brand that could cater to a wider audience.
