1998 Neon Review Summary & Specifications

Chrysler has done a good job of continuously improving the Neon. It's a much better car now than it was when it was introduced. Even with all the improvements, the Neon does not match some of the other cars in this class when it comes to ride quality and refinement. However, most of these other cars are not nearly as much fun to drive as a Neon.

The Neon offers great acceleration performance, sporty handling and good brakes. When ordered with the R/T package, it's a real sports car. Buy one of these, add a roll cage and you'll be ready to go racing. And as much fun as the R/T is, it still offers plenty of creature comforts to make it an enjoyable car to drive to and from work everyday. For these reasons, the Dodge Neon R/T is one of our top picks in this class.
