I don't think he's really looking for a 600fwhp daily driven car...

WRX would fit him just right, IMO.

I said that SRT-4 can be made really quick, but you feel like shit sitting inside that box, and it's still FWD car...

Ham, you say that SRT-4s have no problems with their motors? You need to read SRT forums. I'm a member on there and I got my impression about reliability... and especially very reliable daily driven 500whp car... please! wake up man!

I'm just saying the SRT-4 would be the better stock\lightly modded car. They both can easily be made as fast as you want daily driven for cheap. Below 350, they are the same. So motor doesn't come into play.

Personally, I don't think the interior is that bad on either. Reading reviews on the Tib, a lot of people hated it... and I like it. Its their personal decision. I can say that the interior in my Mom's Subaru has held up very well after 100,000 miles.

As for looks, thats his decision as well. Both great cars, I'd go for the SRT though.

I kinda like the SRT-4, but the only thing that would make me not want one is, considering gas prices, having a Dodge Neon that gets 13 mpg isn't exactly good.

For the price, the SRT4 catn be beat, if youre willing to spend more, then of course you will find a better car.

All over srtforums.com

A lot of new drivers on that site complain because the actual milage they get is not what they read on specs on the web.

Some report 24-25 mpg, but it seems to amaze other drivers as to how they do it.

One user states:

i agree the sticker, 22/30 city/highway is definately a lie... my grandmother couldnt get 20mpg in this car if i let her drive it.


I was considering an srt-4 once, but after reading around the forums for a while and learning about the severe wheel hop and bad milage, I changed my mind.
