Dodge Neon
A symbol of a vehicle that has continuously improved through the years
but was not able to lift up its sales woes is the Dodge Neon. Year by
year, new innovations and a lot of improvements is being given to the
Dodge Neon, but despite all these improvements, it can't seem to break
the continuous decline in its sales. Up until today, the Dodge Neon is
still being haunted by the bad image it has created in its early years.
The Dodge Neon, together with its Plymouth Neon twin, was
introduced by DaimlerChrysler in 1994 as a 1995 year model. Upon
introduction, the Dodge Neon was available in 4-door sedan and 2-door
coupe body style. Engine options include a 132-hp 2.0-liter SOHC
4-cylinder engine and a 150-hp 2.0-liter DOHC 4-cylinder engine paired
with either a 3-speed automatic or a 4-speed manual transmission.
The early Dodge Neon, as well as their Plymouth variants, was
a popular amateur race car. With either 2.0-liter engine variants, the
Dodge Neon can move quickly and accelerate fast, thanks in part to its
light body weight. But performance can be easily overlooked if hounded
by safety and quality problems, and that's what happened to the Dodge
Neon. Hounded by complaints about engine head-gasket failures and a lot
of other problems, early Neons created for itself a bad
reputation—something from which the Dodge Neon wasn't able to recover.
From the 2000 model year, Chrysler introduced a new generation
of Dodge Neon vehicles. While the style remained to be the same, one
can find a lot of enhancements made on the second generation Neon.
Available only in 4-door sedan models, the new Dodge Neon may be
equipped with several variants of the 2.0-liter SOHC engine. The
previous engine problems and other reliability and quality problems
have clearly been answered already, and the new Dodge Neon is certainly
much better than the old model. However, the bad reputation of the
early Neons has continued to haunt the brand, leading to continued poor
sales and its eventual demise for the 2006 model year.
The new Dodge Neon vehicles are definitely of better quality
than the older ones. Most of the early Dodge Neon vehicles have already
been recalled, so there should be not much of a problem driving them
today. But if you'd rather be sure and would want to increase the
performance of your Neon, you can always replace their stock parts with
high quality aftermarket, replacement and performance Dodge Neon parts.
