2004 Dodge SRT-4

Summary:

The srt-4 is a keeper

Faults:

Had the SRT-4 one year now and the only problem was the PVC valve which was replaced from the dealership. Put 41000 km on the vehicle in the year from March of 04 till 05. No other problem, it's a blast as a commuter, the seats do wonders to my back as I have a bad back. All I can say is the car still gives great gas mileage as long as you stay off the boost and has the power to take on almost anything on the road. I love my SRT-4 and I will never sell it, it's a keeper.

General Comments:

Point is simple, the SRT-4 is a keeper, anyone getting hassled from the dealership, shows that the dealership is not being straight and true to you.

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

Had my SRT-4 since April 04, have 60,000 km on it now, still solid with an intermittent rattle, still goes like new, and yes it will beat a 05 GT Mustang. Gas prices are ridiclous now, but still gets better gas mileage than my wife's 92 3.1 Corsica, which has 90 less horse power. Still a fun commuter, will never sell it, car is a modern day muscle car that will make history, ah the long forgotten AMX, in that ralm, would be a great police pursuit vehicle, love my SRT-4 and will never sell it. It's a keeper.

2003 Dodge SRT-4 2.4 turbo

Summary:

Low cost + big horse power = "Lots-o-fun!"

Faults:

Other than the known blow-by,(mild) nothing! "Got catch cans!"

General Comments:

The seats are comfortable, hold you in place.

Interior? Love the seats, shifter, boost gauge, working tempature gauge, the white faced gauges with silver trim is a nice touch. Over all 10 out of 10. My interior does not rattle.

Eng noise is no problem. Never over bearing. I did add the Mopar blow-off valve. Since the blow-off valve is pretty much next to the fire wall, it will create more noise, but not enough to be annoying.

This car demands respect at every stop light and gets it! No, I do not race on the streets. Yes I will get on the throttle every now and again... and again, and again, and again!!!.

The cars handling may not be the greatest, but is well more than I myslef will ever need to use.

Dodge got it right this time. Low cost + Big horse power = Lots-o-fun!

Insurance is a bit expensive even for being married, multiple car discount & Good driver rates.

Seriously if you want a car with fun in mind this is your car.

The 7 year or 70,000 mile warranty on a car like this made my mind up pretty quick for me.

I am 6'-2" tall. This is one of the few cars that I did not feel trapped in from the moment I shut the door!

The car does not seem to run out of ponies till mid-to-top of 4th gear.

If your going for 5th with your foot on the floor on a another wide open throttle shift you better be on a drag strip.. or looking for a ticket, because you are already way way way over the speed limit!

Low cost + big horsepower really = lots of repairs on a poorly made car. You get what you pay for... There has to be some major corner cutting to release a car that performs this well for around $20K. I'd sacrifice a little off the line acceleration and handling and go for the proven WRX (which has AWD to boot)! The 2006 even has the 2.5 boxer which will eliminate a lot of the turbo lag. Keep us posted. I'd love to hear how your SRT is doing after you drive it awhile...
