yeah, it has a turbo, and its fast, but its a death trap bro
Stay with Honda. Sure the dealerships may be fulla dumbasses, but the cars are more reliable than dodge, and thats what matters.

SRT 4 is freaking awesome.......great platform to start, and with a stage two or three boost upgrade......watch out.

If you just want raw power... get the SRT4. Bang for the buck you can't beat it.

Yea the one I drove was stage 2. Its like I fell in love with it. All Id do is new Rims, Tein coilovers, CF hood and Trunk, and upgrade the intercooler to one of those monster intercoolers, and a few more CF parts and i think it would look sick

SRT-4 SUCKS. wait about a year or two and see how many are falling apart. How many civic do you know from the early 90's still around. TONS. Compare that to dodge anything...........

How much is used SRT - 4 now?
Like $23000-ish...
I was going to trade my 2003 EL Premiun for SRT-4, baut then realised that I have to pay another $5000 to have my mntly payments to stay the same, also SRT cost more to insure. I didnt want to spend extra moneis for used Dodge. I 'm getting $ for TSI turbo kit for my car. I think that as far as "vehicle" EL is a better choice than SRT.

** Cheap speed is cheap now, but costs more later **

Got rid of my 02 Civic Coupe and got the 04 SRT-4. No comparison for power. I don't know if I'll own it in 3 years - but I get rid of all my cars in 2 or 3 years anyway. By far the best bang for the buck of any car, and I tested lots
(RSX-S/350Z/RX8/S2000/VR6). The engine is strong, the seats are great, boosting is amazing and the look - well thats subjective anyway - I like it. It needs some mods to be really good - the suspension, but everything else can be stock.

Best bang for the buck is any new sportbike. I'll probably get flamed for this, but is my opinion.
