I bought this car in 2003 with 20000 miles on it.I drove it until 2009 and put an additional 90000 miles on it.Other than oil changes this car has been maintenance free for me.The 2003 Neon was the most reliable car I've ever had.I would have bought another one but they stopped making the model 3 years ago. I recently traded it in and bought a 2007 Kia Spectra.I'll miss my Neon though. I had zero problems with it in 6 years of daily driving

Very fast and stylish for the money even with dealer mark-ups. I would recommend this car over WRX and EVO.

This car has been awesome! Love the exhaust sound on this thing! No aftermarket needed, these things are loud! My friends can hear me coming blocks away if I drive it right. Only complaint realy is the lack of cruise control, 700-1000 mile trips are a bit hard on the legs to keep a resonable speed. Also the seats while great at holding you in place can be a little bit uncomfortable. 4000 miles and no problems, great power, good looks. Awesome car overall, love it!!!
There are no other cars in this class.

The engine is fantastic. There is a bit of turbo lag, When it kicks in, look out. Handling is superb. Somewhat small turning radius. Smooth clutch. 5th gear is mainly an OD gear, going 80mph you're hanging around 2800rpm. Racing seats take some getting used to. Slightly cheap interior. Since there are only going to be 2500 of these a year, plan on not paying MSRP. At the dealership they were asking 25,500. Autonation.com: 18,756. Loads of fun for a very small price. Also Dodge has in the works Stage 1-3 upgrades which don't violate the warranty.

I knew it would be fun, but the SRT4 also had a better ride than I thought it would (it is very stiff, but not jarring, and fine on the highway). The clutch, transmission, and throttle are more direct than our '03 SXT Neon, which makes it easier to get going from stoplights, and for matching revs when downshifting from 5th to 4th. We compared it with the Mini, WRX STI, and Evo, and for us found it had the best fun-to-drive-for-the-buck ratio, and also the most usable back seat.

I am in love with sport compact cars having had a number of them over the years. I haven't had this much fun since I had my 1995 VW GTI VR6. This car is fun, period. It has great power and handling and the build quality you'd expect from a much more expensive car. The exterior styling has a love it or hate it quality however. It looks fine to me.

Just got this car a week ago,already have 750 miles.Great power,the Turbo kicks you in the...uh... butt. The seats are nice.Anybody that complains about the gas mileage needs to remember this is a sports car, and it does get better mileage than my 67 Chevelle SS.

The car is a blast to own and drive. Lots of looks and fun to play with. I sell EVO's and I would rather have the SRT-4 even if the EVO was $21,000.

Flew to Florida to purchase. Drive home conviced me I got what I wanted. Fast, agile and just plain fun to drive. Pulled steady 24mpg cruising back to Wisconsin from Florida. Get thirsty when the boost comes on. Minor drive train noise, but acceptable considering the perfomance.

My first "10 minute drive to the park"...took 4 minutes! I tapped the gas & the turbo smoothly launched this black beauty to hyper-space. Two cop cars did U-turns...just to get a closer look at it & my license plate. Want to reverse a bulging disc in your lower back? Four "snicks" thru the gears with a twitchy right foot & the appropriate amount of turbo boost... should do it! Awesome!!!!!

This car has to be one of the best cars dodge has ever produced.. High performance and a reliable car as well. I've had the car for about 1 year now.. and I've had 0 problems. Very easy to mod and it has great factory support.. can't beat a 19,999 pocket rocket!

This car performs better than many cars that cost much more. It may have the shell of the Neon econobox rental, but it's a totally different animal under the hood. Do not buy one of these cars unless you want to feel some g-force while under full throttle. They are true performance vehicles. I've had 0 problems with this car. I'm still amazed after 1-1/2 years of ownership :wink:

Fabulous fun car that is also practical (4-dr sedan). This is a great commute car when there are no traffic jams. Added custom orange and red graphics (real paint) really dress up this little yellow sedan.

I was sceptical at first, being a previous Subaru owner. But, I purchased this car upon first release in Florida April 2003. This is by far the best "Bang for your Buck" of any car I can think of in terms of what you get in performance. I only have 9,200 miles in two years of ownership and smile everytime I step into the cockpit of this little rocket. Gas mileage is impecable considering the level of performance in this class. When easy commutting or long distance traveling, I ger 23 mpg city and 27 mpg highway. Of course with a heavy foot, these numbers decrease significantly. I highly recommend the SRT4 to anyone looking for sports car performance package on a budget.

The SRT4 is really fun to drive and by far the best bang for the buck in performance. Hands down. I have owned one for two years now and the car has performed beyond my expectations, leaving a long list of other "quick cars" in the dust. Just to name a few, I have embarrased drivers of Mustang GT's, Camaro V8's, WRX's, 350 Z's, G35's, Sentra SER's, and Audi TT's. Some of these cars put up a better fight than others. The SRT was even able to keep up with such hot rods as the Audi S4 (4.2L V8, 340 HP) and the new Mustang GT (V8, 300 HP). Some will doubt this, naturally, but it is true in my experience. However, the car is a hot rod and should be driven with care, especially in bad weather.

Fun to drive! Awesome power that requires some skill to maximize. Handling is excellent with a touch of understeer. Finish and fit seems to be very good. This is not a quiet car to drive. It sounds like it runs, fast! I did not find the exhaust to be objectionable after a 1500 mile drive returning from Florida where I purchased it.
Daily commute rocks!

We paid over MSRP in April 2003 when these just came out. We weren't planning on a new car, but I was compelled by the performance and my wife had the same reaction to the styling. (Ours is yellow). We took a test drive, and the first thing we noticed is that this is NOT a Neon. The build was very tight. Special attention went into these cars. With limited production, Dodge wanted to make a statement. The SRT line was unveiled And we had to have it. Words to describe this car: Practical, economical, exhilarating, and reliable. We had to justify using this as a family car. A) the back seat was very roomy, and the trunk was spacious. B.) We get 29-30 MPG hwy and 25-26 daily driving.
Perfect so far

Bought it sight unseen for sticker price when they first came out. Never even drove one, but I figured how could I go wrong for the price. Man was I right. Smokes almost everything on the road for $20K! Best purchase I ever made.

I have owned this Rocket Car for nearly a month, and I still CAN'T BELIEVE how good a job Dodge's designers did on this one! They have created the PERFECT SPORTS VEHICLE. It accelerates like a Rocket Car, corners like it was welded to the Switchback Road, rides like a Class Sports Car, brakes like an Indy Car! The Perfect Sports Car, plus it is a decent four door sedan with a large trunk and good fuel economy. It has great style inside and out, and the quality of materials and of build are unmatched by any car near this price. Its Look, Sound and Performance attract the attention of every citizen in the area.

This car is fast. It's rating of 214hp is way low. This thing moves out like a big V8. Fun to drive and race. The worst thing about this car is the front seats. Unless you have one skinny ass, you just won't fit. I am working on ways of "bending" the hip huggers down because it is downright uncomfortable to drive as it is now. But other than that this car rocks!!!! Can't wait for the upgrades to hit the market. I think Dodge has only scraped the surface of this car's real performance. SMOKIN'!!!!!
So far so good

I bought this car in Feb of '03. Now with 40k miles, no problems to report other then my 3rd synchro going out and multiple torque mounts breaking on me. It's really a love/hate thing with this specific car. Either you love it cause you're an OG neon owner like myself, or hate it cause it got caught with the old Neon stigma. Truthfully I don't think I will ever part with it. I love it that much!

The SRT-4 is a true American Sports Car. The SRT-4 has extreme amounts of power. When you get on the gas it wants to boogy. The exhausts are totally awsome; they are music to everyone's ears. The brakes are very sensitive and never give up at all. It handles very nicely; and has a comfortable ride for a sports car. The Viper seats really hold you in. It has a great sound system that booms. This car is "UNBEATABLE" for the price. It also gets good gas mileage. The boost gauge is sensitve to every movement of your foot. It tells all. The interior is nice with the silver accents. The gauges are great.

I haven't driven many cars, the SRT-4 is only my second automobile, but I really like this car. This car is for someone who mostly wants a sports car, but wants to be practical. I've gotten 30MPG on the freeway driving like a lesser endowed person, but when you got it you can't help but race around where ever you go. For the money can't get a faster car, it's alot of BANG for the BUCK!

I just bought mine and only have a couple miles on it. I guess some of the big things that need to change are; Add Cruise Control! If with the sporty attitude of the car, Cruise would still be nice. The front seats are very supportive and do their job very well, but they are hard to get in and out of. You have to tilt the wheel out of the way just to get in and out of the car. The Sound that this car makes is worth any of the things listed above. The way it pops and crackles in between shifts and while off the gas is unlike anything in the 4 cylinder market.
Love car, love price

This car is designed for me, willow springs, street fun, rallies. Best car up to $35K!! I love the race seats - esp on high speed continuous turns. I love the brakes, stops absolutely straight. I love the power to weight (the "real" power to weight ratio). I love the looks, and the attention from everyone. I love the four door race car!!

I remember in 2000 reading an article on Dodge bringing a supercharged Neon to the market. At the time I owned a first generation Neon, and was very satisfied,but I new I had to get it.I waited to hear more of this car but nothing, so I forgot about it. Finally in 2002 I read about Dodge unveilig of the turbocharged SRT-4. All I could do was hope that it was as good as they made it out to be. Dodge you have made me proud to own one.The design may not be all new, but it turns a lot of heads. I am constantly being complemented on my car, and respected by street racers.When I am driving my car all that comes to mind is sweeeet! The Dodge SRT-4 Rocks!!!!!

I have 3000 miles on this vehicle. I have had a small oil leak & the shift linkage seems to be very notchy when downshifting, has a little more body roll than expected, other than that this car looks, performs & sounds like no other on the market. I get approx. 20mpg, but the more you kick in the 14psi of boost the mileage is noticeably less.Dodge is now offering stageI & stageII turbo kits that make this car close to 300HP!!!!!!! Car is well worth the $19,995 sticker price.

The sole point of buying this car was to get the fastest stock vehicle for my money (limit $30,000). The looking started a couple of years ago, and covered the RSX, RSX Type-S, WRX, WRX STi, and the new Z. With 0-60 from 5.4 - 5.9, and 14 sec 1/4 mi @ 102, the SRT-4 blew everything else away in it's price range ($19,500), let alone $10000 above. Now I can have the dealership install the future stage 3 Mopar kit which will take it over 400hp and it will still be under the 7yr/70,000 warranty. Warning: this car cruises at 100mph like it was 60, and doesn't even strain at 140. Rock on Dodge!
Great Car

For under 20K, I do not think you could ask for anything better. The only problem was that the sales rep that sold me the car did not know ANYTHING about the SRT-4. All in all, I am pleased with the performance of the car. Just keep your foot out of the gas.
