2002 Chrysler Neon LX sedan 4dr manual

Advertisements

Chrysler's Neon (nee Dodge and Plymouth) has always offered a stylish alternative in the compact-sedan category. Its popularity with young, notably female, buyers suggests that even entry-level shoppers appreciate a good-looking car.

In 1999, Chrysler made substantial changes to the 2000 Chrysler Neon (Plymouth was history, and Dodge was concentrating on trucks) to improve its noise and vibration levels, body rigidity, braking, drivability, interior room and trunk space. The new Neon also had a redesigned interior, more standard equipment and a higher base price.

The Neon LX was re-joined in September, 2000, by the sporty R/T model, now a four-door sedan instead of a two-door coupe. Also worth noting, is that 2001 Neons began offering a new standard 5 year/100,000 km power train warranty.

For 2002, changes to the Neon are relatively minor, the biggest change being a new optional four-speed automatic transmission replacing the old three-speed automatic. As well, the 2002 Neon has a new grille with Chrysler's winged badge, new optional leather interior, a new standard AM/FM/CD player and optional polished aluminum wheels, rear spoiler and black gauges with chrome rings.

The 2002 Neon includes next-generation air bags with less forceful inflators, seat belts with constant force retractor and adjustable turning loops, head impact protection on the roof pillars and new optional seat-mounted side air bags in the front seats.

The Neon LX standard features include:-

• Everything on the LE plus a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shifter knob
