The Dodge Neon was a compact front wheel drive car. Sales of the second generation Dodge Neon model started with model year 2000 and production ended with the 2005 model year. The second generation Dodge Neon was only available as a 4-door sedan. In some regions, including the United States, the sole engine was the 2.0 L SOHC engine, the power output remaining at 132 HP (98 kW). An optional Magnum configuration with an active intake manifold) that produced 150 HP was available. Both engines had a redline of 6762 RPM. Originally, the second generation Dodge Neon featured a five-speed manual transmission using the former ACR gear ratios to improve acceleration. However, this hurt gas mileage and made the car noisier on the highway, and eventually the original gear ratios were restored. A four-speed automatic was offered in the Dodge Neon for the 2002 model year, with gearing changed the following year.
