What kind of an image does a Civic have? When I think Civic I see a coffee can tailpipe with an aftermarket wing. Wow, what an image...

You better not wait around if you want a new one.

The Neon, and the SRT-4, will end production this summer.

No problems other than a faint smell of gas?!?! That usually means there is a leak somewhere which could lead to a fire or an explosion. That is not a confidence inspiring problem. Good luck to you...

Summary:

Seriously outperforms its compitetors

Faults:

Shift knob popped off.

General Comments:

This car is awesomely fast and handles great. The power it displays is far beyond what I expected. Forget what everyone says about it being good for the money. It outperforms cars that cost over $15,000 more than it.

The interior is actually quite nice and the fit and finish is great. The stereo is decent, and the gages are very easy to read due to the white-face style.

However, the shifting is a bit rough, as it can be difficult to quickly move through the gears. Dodge says it's a short-throw, and it is, but it is one of the longest short-throws I've ever driven. That being said, the tranny is very precise, and you cannot miss a gear.

No trouble so far, but I got the car less than a month ago.

General Comments:

A car to be considered for anyone looking into a mid-range performance sedan. Stiff competition for the Subaru WRX to be sure.

The SRT-4 is far the best car for the money. I'm sorry to say... well not really, but the SRT-4 blow the Subaru WRX out of the water by a long shot.

WRX is stiff competition due to AWD and Handling over the SRT-4. I bought my SRT simply because I couldn't come up with the extra 5000 for a comparably equipped WRX.

Summary:

Finally an American auto manufacturer turbo's a car

Faults:

CD player made a clicking noise, but was fixed by the dealer, that's about it for now.

General Comments:

On uneven freeways like the 710, the car will "hop" because of the stiff suspension, which isn't that bad.

The car has some body roll on tight turns, which could be remedied with a little lowering.

My biggest disappointment is the turning circle - it sucks!

Other than these small issues, the car is awesome. I should have waited for the 2004 SRT4 since that one will include LSD, the 2003 was a one wheel wonder. The engine was made in Mexico, but is still better than sending my money overseas... although pretty much every electronic I have was made in Japan - I guess I'm a hypocrite.
