new car, srt-4 Options

[fastgt]

thats not entirely true about dodge, i used to have a 99 ram that never gave me any problems, i then traded it in for and 03 hemi and its given no grief what so ever....before these trucks my dad used to have dodge vans, dodge is good if you take care of it

but you guys are right most chrystler CARS are poorly built and mercedes is going in the same direction

Just get a Scion tC with the supercharger. Quality and its covered under warranty.

Most american trucks are quality, they pretty much have to be since they probably take 10 times the wear and tear of a car.

I remember one of my friends aunts has a dodge neon I think 97, & now he drives it most of the time cause he can actually bare to drive w/o power steering since it failed on his aunt.

my mom bought a 2004 dodge neon sxt about a year ago and it hasnt had any problems at all. and that has power front windows and roll down back windows too! hahaha.

[chucho]

quick car for the money. Doesnt look to bad in my opionon either....but its still a neon even if it would rip me a new one

[lagos]

id say get it! its the best bang for the the buck tuner car out there. the motor is solid and you can make a lot of power out of it.

the funny thing is that if you ask people about the car they will say... "dont get it, its a neon", but youll never hear any real problems with the motor or the car. i give props to doge for making a turbo car for around 20Gs. i just wish toyota had something like that in their line up.

[SinisterWhisper]

The motor might be good but the rest of the car is crap take a look at the resale value of neons in general. When I was looking at cars I could afford a 96 celica st, 96-98 non gt stang, 96 eclipse and an 01 neon. Anyone esle think that is kinda a dead give away something is wrong?

[Jeremy1210]

well I know for a fact that Dodge/ Chrysler sucked in the early 90's, but since they have merged with mercedes, their quality has risen. Im not saying that they aren't POS's, but you know that mercedes is making sure that the cars are better than what they were. They want to make money like everyone else, and after the merge, if they didn't make better cars, they would lose money. I figure that by 2010 Dodge/ chrysler will be way better reliabliltiy/ inside wise stuff you know.

i think the biggest mistake that doge did was to name the car a Neon Srt4. if they just dropped the neon part and slightly changed the look they would have gotten a lot more respect.

if the motor is solid, then what else do you need? suspention, brakes, etc are tipical things people mod on their cars awyway.

[saleeka]

they did drop the neon name on the SRT-4... its true name is dodge SRT-4

[C3L1CA]

I like them and they are just SRT-4 My buddy had one and it seemed very nice. They seem very fast, I have heard of them running low 13's high 12's (with slicks). Don't listen to everybody else if you like the car then get it, but I would get the WRX

i wouldnt say that... GM, Toyota, and i believe nissan all have very extensive warranties that are devoted specifically to customer satisfaction. if you put up enough of a bitch you can even get things not technically covered in the warranty for really dirt cheap if not free.

the motor mounts suck, thats all i have heard

My best friend has a 03 PT cruiser GT turbo. (same engine as SRT-4) and it has been in the shop more in the last year than my car has in the last ten years.

it spits and sputters and backfires like a piece.

pt cruisers were always crap

srt4's always backfire, has to do with the mufflerless exhaust

i have yet to here anything about srt4's consistantly being in the shop from my cousin who is a manager at the local dodge/chrysler dealer
