I am thinking about getting a newer 04-05 srt-4, was just wondering any thoughts or input any of u guys have on them, maybe some owners?

friend got one cuz he needed an updated turbo 4door car. didnt want an evo or sti. he left his gen.2 all trac and bought one. he said that its easy and cheap to make them fast. IMO its alright

well ya, see i can pick this one up for 10k with 19k on it, 05 so it shoudl be a good reliable car, plus winter should be to bad, i just plan on a stage 1 or so

yeah cheapest fastest car you can get w/o going mustang or camaro V8

ya i guess, i aint going to much for the speed, but i still need it there, but more of a newer car

easy and cheap to upgrade. too bad you still have to roll down the windows in the back. power windows only in front

My thoughts when I think of SRT-4's - D-bag drivers.

ew...reject skittles imo

Doesn't matter what motor you put on it,what rims,what system,what bodykit....at the end of the day,you still have to look at yourself in the mirror and say...



I DRIVE A NEON...

That's as bad as voting for Bush.

Strong words.

But X2

you guys are being too harsh. thats like saying a gt4 is the same as the ST. but we all know its not the same even though it looks the same.

on a sidenote. nothing is as bad as voting for bush

seriously, its an absolute given. there should be a proof made to show that SRT-4 owners are douchebags. everytime i'm at a restaurant, at a starbucks, driving the streets, etc, i always here the same exhaust tone and revving the engine while in first and being 'cool.' i initially thought that they were okay. the neon made me uneasy about liking it, but it seemed like the best bang for a couple bucks. but seeing these idiots driving around thinking they are the hot sh!t, i have made my choice in thinking they suck.

I don't respect the car at all.

people hate it because its damn good at what it was designed to do

its the way to own an import with out actually owning one.

What Playr said, people hate it because it's the fastest and cheapest in it's class. It's nothing but jealousy.

I dunno about you guys, I love my Celica, but if someone offered me an SRT-4, I'd take it. The Celicas (at least the US models), are NOT a performance vehicle.

So basically you like it or your jealous of it? That's ignoramus.

Sorry, I like it.

People that don't like it are jealous (at least I think). And with japanese not building many performance vehicles these days (with exception of the Evo and Impreza), this is where most people will turn.

I dont like it and im not jealous

comparing celica's to mid 00's cars, yeah it doesn't fit the profile of a sports car. But compare it to cars in the mid 90's when it came out, I'd say it's a sports car.

In my area the D-bag drivers all drive the new SI's. I've had 2 in the last 3 weeks try to race me and then VTAK away when I don't.

Back on topic, if ur looking for a reliable car, you dont' want an SRT-4. If you want a sedan thats cheap and fast, then an SRT-4 fits the profile.

I don't like the Cadillac Seville either, am I jealous of that too?
