Dodge and Plymouth Neons are essentially identical. Only the badge and a few options packages, such as the R/T package, differentiates them.
Neons are available in three flavors: base, highline and Sport. They come in two body styles: Coupe and Sedan. Two engines are available: a 132-horsepower 2.0-liter single overhead cam (sohc) engine and a 150-horsepower double overhead cam (dohc) engine. They come with a choice of 5-speed manual gearbox or 3-speed automatic transmission.
Other than the number of doors, there are few differences between Coupe and Sedan. Interior room is about the same. Even the weight difference is negligible. All Neons ride on a wide track and a long (104-inch) wheelbase with minimal front and rear overhang.
Base models come with rear drum brakes, while performance variations use rear discs. The front suspension is MacPherson struts with assymmetrical lower control arms, while the rear is Chapman struts with dual lower transverse arms. Next Page
