This is why when i buy a new car i don't get one over 4 miles.

Don’t mean to be an ***. But when it’s not your car and you drive it recklessly on the freeway, it’s not cool.

As other people said. This is the reason why people who are interested in buying a car have a hard time getting a test drive.

hmm seems like a bias opinion to me.. the srt-4 seems like a great bang for the buck car, and the top end pulls much harder the a stock wrx. its a quicker car out of the box and the dealer allows modifications... doenst sound like a bad deal to me but.. What do i know.. im just a noob .

thank you for a very open minded comment-
however- i used to sell dodges...
neons generally suck IMO
srt-4 is based on a neon.
i like the seats better than the wrx ones.
i like the fact that they don't put a muffler on them.
wish subarus did the same.
but it lacks awd versatility...

Sounds like you had a much better experience driving yours than I did.. The shift **** broke off the one I was driving.. I didn't come back.

I do have to add, it was the best handling FWD that I have driven. No comparason to the STi. I liked the look of the shift ****, too bad they fall off.

an enemic 140hp (non turbo) but handles the salom at speeds that rival a porsche 911 turbo

70.2mph as quote by

When I bought my WRX, the dealer guy was flying down the highway trying to show me how nice it was at high speeds. You don't see that everyday. As for the dealer allowing mods, every mod i've done hasn't upset my dealer. Granted i'm running only a stage one, and have lowered it. I've changed the way the car looks from stock and they didn't even care about the BOV. It all depends where you live I guess. Some dealers don't like you changing your exhaust, and others give compliments on how it looks.
