1997 Dodge Neon 4 Dr Highline Sedan

The 1997 Dodge Neon Highline sedan is a four-door, four-seater economy car whose engine gives you surprisingly good bang for the buck.  It comes standard with a single-cam 2.0-liter, 4-cylinder, 132-hp engine and 5-speed manual transmission (or 3-speed auto tran option), but can be had with the more powerful twin-cam 2.0 at 150hp.  Standard features above and beyond the base sedan include tinted glass, air conditioning, rear defrost, and a remote trunk release.  There are lots of extras, like cruise control, keyless entry, power sunroof, power windows and locks, CD changer, and 4-wheel ABS brakes.

Overall, drivers are impressed with the 1997 Neon Highline's engine power and performance.  The car handles well and easily, and the interior, thanks to Neon's cab-forward design, is roomy for a compact.  Downsides are poor window seals that let in road noise, use of cheap materials inside, and the ever-present head gasket problems that plague the Dodge Neon.
