This Year's Model Updates:

Sport trim level disappears in favor of Sport Package for Highline models. Twin-cam engine is optional on Highline models. Federal side-impact standards are met for the first time. More work has been done to quiet the 1997 Dodge Neon's boisterous demeanor.

Pros:
  • Zippy engine, cute styling, roomy interior
Cons:
  • Cheap interior materials

    An absolute lemon, lousy ride uncomfortable seats. How many head gaskets can you replace? Nearly get killed trying to accelerate on the highway.

  • What A Joke - 1997 Dodge Neon
    By -

    This is truly a piece of junk. These cars come staight from the factory with a warped head. Which i believe is like most owners of this car "warped heads". If you dont get the head shaved on theses cars you will have the same problem over again. And then they will start to burn oil and you are spending more money then for gas it seems! I have never had to do so much work to keep it going. I will never own another and will tell my friends the same.

    These cars head gaskets only last 60000 miles and are very costly to repair. Read more about the head gasket problem on internet. These cars also lose value quickly. I bought in 11/99 for $7300 and Value today is only $4700
