2003 Dodge SRT-4 review from North America
"Low cost + big horse power = "Lots-o-fun!""
What things have gone wrong with the car?
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!
