Already known for its class-leading handling, power and generous interior room, the Dodge Neon enters 1998 with an exciting R/T performance package, along with new feature packages that make this small car an unbeatable value. All Neons for 1998 benefit from refinements aimed at reducing noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) levels, including a new transmission housing structural collar. The 1998 Neon also complies with California's stringent Low Emission Vehicle (LEV) standards, and joins other Chrysler cars in adopting next-generation air bags.

R/T PACKAGE - Buy The Neon Here

Recalling Dodge's famed "R/T" performance models of earlier eras, the 1998 Dodge Neon R/T features a full-dress package -- all for a manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP) of less than $14,000. This package offers true R/T level performance, and includes most of the hardware that led the Neon to two SCCA Class "C" Showroom Stock National titles in 1995 and 1996.

ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION - Buy The Neon Here

Underneath its special "Viper stripes" with a Flame Red, Intense Blue or Bright White exterior color is a 150 horsepower, 2.0-liter DOHC 16-valve engine with a performance-tuned engine controller. This "pocket rocket" powerplant is mated to a quick-shifting five-speed manual transmission.

SUSPENSION, BRAKES AND TIRES - Buy The Neon Here

Inside, the Dodge Neon R/T carries on its performance driver theme with unique bucket seats, leather steering wheel cover and leather shift knob. Keeping the R/T flat in the corners is a sport suspension with unique springs and sway bars both front and rear, along with new rear spring isolators. A responsive 16:1 steering gear ratio, four wheel-disc brakes, and unique polished aluminum 14-inch wheels round out the package. Also new for 1998 are reclassified model offerings for both the Neon Coupe and Sedan.

VALUE - Buy The Neon Here

The value story for 1998 is solidified with the elimination of the "base" model. The high content "D" package (or "highline") now represents the entry-level vehicle. With a long list of standard features, including upgraded interior, low-back bucket seats, remote trunk release, and fold-down rear seat, the Neon is an exceptional value.

THE "G" PACKAGE - Buy The Neon Here

The "G" package Neon "Sport" rounds out the offerings and includes the robust 132 hp 2.0-liter SOHC engine (the 150 hp 2.0-liter, DOHC engine is optional), special exterior graphics, 14-inch sport wheel covers, fog lamps, "Tango" cloth interior, plus all of the "D" package features.
