@Antoniocool86 If Chrysler/Dodge put these back into production, I would actually buy this. It'd be the only Chrysler/Dodge car I would buy cuse I love the new Rams.
I see these cars driving around town and they sound like tractors....I love it I wish I knew why these cars sound so good. Best sounding 4 cyl I have ever heard on the streets.
i was thinking about getting the srt-4 any reasons not to? also any suggestions for other cars im lookin for a manual 4 door sedan that can somewhat perform
Well, the only bad things I see are... Low top-end. The small turbo has no top end. Swap it to a 50-trim and you're golden. Resale value is pretty low, they don't hold too well. Since they were sports compacts, some may be beaten. They have extremely poor crash safety ratings. The rear windows are manual and the front are automatic. That's about it.
To be honest, none of that should really dissuade you. The stock turbo is decent, getting you to about 130-140 MPH (which I hope you don't do on the highway) while having almost no turbo lag and a great torque curve. The resale value in the 5-8K range means you can find them in a decent price range. Crash ratings are bad, but no amount of electrical goodies will stop a bad driver from crashing, so just be safe. It's a great car for the price, to be honest.
@PzownedProductions The only problem is its hard to find one were the car wasnt beat up from the previous owners (accidents and bad carfaxs) also do you think insurance would be rediculously high or would it be average. right now i drive a ford explorer
I know there's a good one out in Cali, but I think you may be farther then that. Depending on your age, it might go up, but I doubt it. I drive a sports compact and am a male between 16-21 and I only pay $55 a month, granted, I have a clean record.
Shouldn't be a problem if you've had your license for over a year. Even if it's a little high, ask if they have safety discounts for airbags, ABS braking system, etc., or any driver's ed classes or videos that might help lower it. I know my friend who has State Farm had to watch a little one-hour video on safe driving and he got twenty bucks knocked off a month.
man that interior is crap! And manual rear windows is a bad fail...On the bright side there quick for a cheap car...As long as you can stand being in a neon and that cheap crap interior
We rented a base Neon in 04, and it's sibling the PT Cruiser (by sibling I mean the underpinnings are the same), last year. I liked both, though I'd have to give the nod to the Cruiser for more practicality points. :) I've always liked the SRT-4, though. It's a shame they went bye-bye with the Caliber. I believe they tried it with one model year, and it must've flopped, because I don't see it offered anymore.
It was not for wieght reduction. In order to meet American market safety requirements a side impact bar was installed in the rear door that prevented installation of a power window motor. This is ALL U.S. market Neon sedans, European models received rear power windows along with smaller 1.6 and 1.8L engines. The Chrysler 1.6L engine was also used in the Mini Cooper. I am going to install the rear power windows from a U.K. market Neon someday. I could care less about or nazi safety rules
@desertsoldier22 man they must be goons at ye old dodge factory...to not know the safety requirements and to not have power rear windows.....not classy at all...then again its a neon!
@TheGizmo4382 it was done for weight reduction, less electronics, and it would make it slightly cheaper. but i would rather have those few extra pounds lol
i want one so BAD. i can get one for about $6,000 with 160,000km. i am going to start saving up for one when i find work. i just subed there is one thing i need to ask whats the first letter or number on the vin?
this car is AMAZING!!! there is one here in my town some one but its sky blue i guess you can call it its a stage 3 ones here only at 2500RPM it backfires alittle bit i guess maybe not backfire just chrackle from exhaust shounds cool tho!
That has always puzzled me. Manual rear windows in the Neon....it's the only place in the car you would want power windows! Too hard for the driver to reach back there
It looks like a pretty good car for what it is. I don't think there are any cars in the Neon's class that could out perform it. A friend of my nephew used to have one. I could never get him to race me on the drag strip, but I'm sure it was pretty quick.
While a lot of people say this is is JUST a neon or a ricer, Im gonna have to disagree. Its an amazing car, especially this one. With low mileage (45000 i think?), custom work to the tail/head lights, a CAI, custom rims, clean looking paint, this car has to be going for a good amount.
Thanks kyle for posting this video, ive been waiting ages for the video of the srt 4.
i remember sitting in my Dakota and well it was just the base Neon but the person got out and forgot to put the emergency brake on, quite funny as they're trynna step out as its rolling back
Sweet video. I was hoping you were going to show the boost gauge. My buddy has a red SRT-4 and it flies. And yes those seats are amazing! Cool video. Too bad you couldnt drive it.
@gajda1984 same here lol, the shifter in mine is long throw as shit lol but it makes for surprisingly good fast shifts, not sure how but its smooth as hell. still would like short throw though, I had an old neon base and the shifter in it was a short throw stock lmao 80hp ftw! :D
I told people I would have a cummins ram on today and I had an error with the video file and have to re make it unfortunately, I'm at school now so I uploaded this one in place for today, the cummins will be on tomorrow prolly!
