2004 Dodge SRT-4 review from North America

Throttle Position Sensor went bad at about 15,000 miles.

Shift knob ripped off shifting from first to second the first time I ever raced it, it's a regular occurrence.

While not the fastest car, this car has a lot of bang for the buck.

Beautiful sounding exhaust.

Very fitting racing-style seats.

Tires are not nearly wide enough, the car lacks grip off the line.

Do not even attempt winter driving without a set of dedicated winter tires. With winter treads, I was surprised how well it took to the snow.

Comfortably seats 4, not 5. But 2 child car seats fit perfectly.

Rear windows are not power.

Sufficient trunk space.

Handles very well, even with the stock suspension.

Mopar upgrades and stage kits offer easy, well priced plug-and-play modifications for the car, avoiding the need to tune.

Very aggressive appearance.

Instrument cluster lacks some of the gauges that any performance car should have.

The oil filter can be a pain to get a filter wrench around.

On stock internals, this motor is capable of 350 to 400 horsepower with only a few thousand dollars in upgrades.

The car does attract some negative attention, simply because it is a neon.

The PVC doesn't quite do its job. This can be remedied with an inexpensive oil catch can positioned in the line between the PVC valve and the Intake Manifold. This is a Novice Level modification. dodgeforum. com has help in this department.
