EngineNeon's standard 132-horsepower 2.0-liter single overhead camshaft (SOHC) 16-valve 4-cylinder engine has enough kick to make driving fun, but it's economical enough to do it responsibly. See how to personalize your Neon with great performance parts from Mopar. But if you really want to blister the pavement with white-knuckle speed, check out the SRT4.
Transmission
Neon offers plenty of punch with your choice of a standard five-speed manual transmission or an available electronically controlled four-speed automatic on SE and SXT.
Quiet Ride
Reducing noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) was a priority for Neon's redesign team. Their high-tech tools, computer analyses, and attention to detail gave Neon the right balance between excellent performance and a quiet, comfortable ride.
Air Bags
Neon includes next-generation driver and front-passenger air bags,* available supplemental side air bags, child seat anchor system (LATCH), and three-point lap/shoulder belts for all passengers.
AntiLock Brakes
Four-wheel disc antilock brakes are available on SE and SXT. The system is equipped with electronic sensors that prevent wheel lockup, offering improved steering control under extreme braking and/or slippery conditions.Source - Dodge

The replacement to the Dodge Shadow and the Plymouth Sundance, the Dode Neon was a compact car built in 1995 by DaimlerChrysler's Dodge and Plymouth brands.
The Neon was a front wheel drive car that was introduced in January of 1994. Available as a 2-door coupe or as a 4-door sedan, the Neon was available with a 3-speed automoatic transmission or a 5-speed manual transmission.
Various versions of this vehicle were produced throughout the years, but none as popular as the Dodge SRT-4 model, mainly due to its low price and excellent performance.
The Neon shared comparable horsepower with several vehicles of the day, and overpowered with its torque output.
Unfortunately, Neons came with a number of issues that effected its reliability, the most famous being head gasket failure. This problem was solved in 1998 by replacing the head gasket with a new Multi Layer Steek design that controlled the issue.
The first-generation models also suffered with poor paint finish, which caused the paint to fall off in sheets. These earlier issues were eventually reconstructed on older models and became standard on new models, but the reputation for unreliability and poor quality remained a stigma for the Dodge Neon.
Other issues that effected the reputation of the Neon was the lack of power windows in the rear doors, and the inconvenient design of the vent/AC. The automatic setup of the defroster activitating the air conditioner was a feature that many drivers found disagreeable.
The lack of updated features greatly hurt the Neons chance of selling potential.
Neons have been known for having a strong racing record, first-generation and second-generation models were highly competitive in SCCa Solo autocross racing. Affordable amateur racing cars equipped with SOHC or DOHC, they were available as either a sedan or coupe, and carried many features. These versions came with four-wheel disc brakes, suspensions that were performance oriented with stiff front springs and much more.
In Europe, the Neon was available with a 1.8 L engine, and the Australian market Chrysler Neon offered two models, the SE and the more equipped LX. The LX eventually was replaced by a more updated model the LE in 1999.Elizabeth Johnson
