The Chrysler Neon, a compact car produced by Chrysler from 1994 to 2005, was a significant entry in the American automotive landscape. It was launched in 1994 as a replacement for the aging Plymouth Sundance and Dodge Shadow, and quickly gained popularity for its affordable price point, stylish design, and surprisingly peppy performance. The 1997 model year, featured in the service repair manual, saw significant improvements over earlier iterations, including a revised suspension for better handling, a more refined interior, and a new engine option. The 1997 Neon was available in a variety of trim levels, including the base model, the sportier "R/T," and the limited-edition "High-Impact" edition.

The 1997 Chrysler Neon was powered by a 1.8L four-cylinder engine, either naturally aspirated or turbocharged, offering a range of horsepower outputs from 117 to 160. The Neon was known for its fuel efficiency, thanks to its lightweight construction and relatively small engine. It offered a fun-to-drive experience, especially in the R/T trim, which featured a lowered suspension, larger wheels, and a more powerful engine. The Neon's design, characterized by sharp lines and a sporty stance, was well-received by buyers, differentiating it from the boxy sedans of the time. The car was also praised for its generous interior space, providing a comfortable environment for passengers. However, the Neon faced criticism for its build quality, which was not as robust as some competitors, and its relatively basic interior appointments. Despite these shortcomings, the 1997 Chrysler Neon remained a popular and successful model, capturing the hearts of budget-minded drivers seeking an affordable, reliable, and fun-to-drive car.
