2005 Dodge SRT-4 Base

Pros

Price

Cons

unreliable, cannot keep up with 350z, WRX, EVOs

this car is fast, for it's price, and that is all. The car is unrelaible, does not handle well, and gets dusted by every 350 Z to Evo 8 it comes across. Sure the Nissan 350Z cost more, but you can get a 2004 or a 2003 for about 22,000 right now, and by doing so, are getting a FAR superior sports car. This car is nothing more then a tuned Neon, other cars like the 350Z, WRX, and EVO 8 are true, purpose designed sports cars, and as such, far better.

overalll, this thing is a POS....read morehide

Pros

Great performance

Cons

none

I ordered my 2004 SRT-4 Red Rocket in Nov 2003. Picked it up in early March 2004. Living over here in Germany and being able to use this car on the Autobahns is a real hoot! BMW's, "fast" Mercedes Benz's and other exotic European cars are fun to play with. I love the power, handling and overall fit and style of the car. I do not drive it in the winter, too much salt on the roads. Want to keep it nice. The two things that I noticed not rally a con, just the nature of this beast! The tires do wear fast and crusing at 120 MPH, your gas milage will suffer! But, I don't care! It's that much fun. If you don't get one, you'll wish later you did!!...read morehide

Cons

Mitsubishi lancer evo, Subaru Wrx Sti are way 2 much 4 it.

I just got my srt4 and i love it, but i have 2 friends who own evos, and u can tell the top quality of these imports. srt4 needs awd.

Pros

drives good

Cons

the inside could look alot better

i really love this car. this car is awsome i love it . i really love it/

Pros

Awesome!!! Stock ran 14.1 quarter mile, It's only a neon 'til you get beat then its an SRT4!!!!!

Cons

Wheel hop, but countered with only a $25.00 motor mount insert!

How could you not like a true Mopar muscle in a neon? Soo many people talk crap about this car and how it is FWD so what it is still murdering the import market and they stopped making this and people still can't get enough of it. Great car for the money, got mine for $17,900 out the door. Can't beat it...

Oh and the gas saver option is great....Boost or don't. It will save gas one way and it will put yo in the seat the other way. Yo9u figure it out. I'm going driving....read morehide

Pros

quick, great handling.

Cons

that darn key release button.

awesome car. more than I expected or hoped for. Parked next to my Neon SXT, the SRT looks strikingly like a Neon, but that's where the similarities end. No, the spoiler isn't in the way if you're under 5'5", less so than a SXT spoiler. "Hard to shift"-I'm a 110 pound woman, and if I have no problem shifting, few people should. I can see how the seats are a love/hate thing. I love them. It's the perfect midlife crisis car (I understand I'm too old to be a "performance enthusiast"). Lots of room for grocerys in the trunk, and the kid with 2 large dogs in the backseat. They aren't for everyone- a little raw and uncivilized, not unlike '60-'70 muscle cars, but smaller and better behaved. If I wanted a Buick, I'd have bought a Buick. If I wanted a car to drive itself, I'd take a taxi.

I believe in buying American made and keeping Americans working. I would HIGHLY recommend this American car. It's like an eager horse just waiting for a little slack in the reins.

(Don't worry, I haven't subjected my car to to Rick Springfield or Madonna, and it does have a chance to stretch it's legs- I'm not dead yet.)...read morehide

Pros

Great Performance, Great Looks, FAST as hell, Fun to drive,Show off

Cons

No cruise control, Bad turning ratio (for U-turns) No vanity light, no trunk light. Manual back wind

I'v had this car only a few days now but i love it more and more everyday. I cant really go to fast yet with only 600 miles but im getting there. The handling on this car is excellent compaired to enything i'v ever driven its definetly up there. I drive valet so i drive many dif cars. I love the way this car looks both inside and out.... What can i say Its fast, great handling, looks great i think...Even though its sometimes called a neon wich i hate but drive it once and you'll never call it a neon again. Neon's dont sound like this they dont drive like this and they are definetly not as fast as this......read morehide

Pros

Fast, decent fuel economy, cool low RPM rumble, nice overall finish, and it's cheap

Cons

Ride is a little too tall, spoiler looks clumsy

Despite what people might say about it being a Neon, the SRT package speaks for itself when you drive it. You'll forget about all things Neon and realize that this thing has a huge fun factor.

Interior is standard econo-car fare, not too flashy, but not less than the average Civic or Corolla. The ride is firm, but not silky smooth like a luxury car, so some passengers might complain.

The bottom line is the engine. It's fast, and has the ability of pulling the steering wheel out of your hand if you're not paying attention. It has a beautiful turbo note though, and it's just fun to drive. If you're looking for a toy that can double as a commuter, then it's worth it's price - if you can still find one....read morehide

Pros

Lost of power from low rpm to high rpm, great performance! Excellent price

Cons

none

Dodge Neon SRT-4 is very fast Turbo has no lag, mopar performance parts available all around and the car is so much fun. Also it cost so little for so much, did I mention you can travel far distances with and not need to fill up every couple of days!

Pros

PERFORMANCE BETTER THAN CARS COSTING UP TO 30 GRAND

Cons

NEEDS A 6 SPEED TRANSMISSION,

I HAVE OWNED A 04 SRT4 AND WITH 200 DOLLARS WORTH OF ENGINE MODS I HAD A CAR THAT DID 13.57 @100 MPH IN THE QUARTER MILE WITH A 1.9 60 FOOT AN STOCK TIRES AND THAT PERFORMANCE WAS REPEATED. I PUT LOWERING SPRINGS AND STRUT TOWER BARS AND A SHORT THROW SHIFTER AND WENT AUTOCROSSING RESULT. 2ND PLACE FIRST TIME OUT I BEAT STI'S AND EVO'S WITH 17K MILES ON THE STOCK TIRES. THAT CAR I SOLD BUT I BOUGHT A 05 SRT4 ACR WITH THE ADJUSTABLE SUSPESION BIGGER TIRES LARGER SWAY BAR. I AM GOING TO PUT THE SPRINGS AND STRUT TOWER BARS ON THAT FOR MORE AUTOCROSSING. MY OPINION IS YOU CAN CALL IT A NEON AS I BLOW YOUR DOORS OFF. THE BEST PURCHASE IN MY LIFE NO DOUBT. NOW I DID PAY 18K FOR THE 04 AND 18,7K FOR MY ORANGE BLAST PEARL ACR. WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR GO GET ONE THEY ARE GONE AFTER THIS YEAR DONT DELAY GO NOW!....read morehide
