2004 Dodge SRT-4 Base review from North America
"Seriously outperforms its compitetors"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
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.
