this guy obviously hasnt read a single post on this thread.
uhh no i mean a GS turbo... the 1st gen where known as 16 valve DOHC GS Turbo... i believe 95 was the year they got lazy and just said GST but in essence its the same damn FWD turbo
is it me or does that seem to happen alot
how do you know that the srt is reliable??? just because its covered under warranty doesn't mean s**t. I used to work for a mazda dealer and you could ask anyone of the rx7 owners and they would tell you that the car is in the shop more than not... the srt has no track record... I don't understand why the comparison to a sti... that wasn't an sti. the sti would blow the s**t out of an srt w/ mods, and its a fookin nice car with alot more stuff to justify the cost diff... liquid injected cooling... omg drool... and besides I know for a fact that my hatchie would leave a srt wondering wtf. not dissin the srt... nice car... but don't compare apples to oranges.

i'm not saying its reliable, but on the same not you cant say it's unreliable since everything in it including the motor and tranny have never been used in this car.. and even if it proves to be unreliable you still wont have to pay a red cent to have it fixed and can sell if you are unhappy with it... but that wont happen. from every person i've talked to and every review i've read, the owners LOVE their cars and wouldnt give them up for anything. and as far as comparing it to the sti.... people all over are comparing it to them... just google it and you'll see. there's nothing on the market for the money that's even close besides the sti and evo.... that's just facts. and i would love to see your hatch beat a srt4. lemme guess... you dumped thousands into an 8 year old car??? aint to smart champ. wait till you try to resale that car and cant get over $5k.
and anyone is going to be hard pressed to prove to me that an engine swapped honda is going to be more reliable than a brand new srt4.
no s**t cause i think we went over that in the first page or 2
f**king n00b

i dont want to give anyone the wrong idea. i'm not saying this car is faster than an sti or that it's unbeatable in a race. BUT in my opinion it is the best deal and fastest car for the money and has great aftermarket upgrades availiable for it. but like i said, that's just my opinion. and the warranty = peace of mind for me
I service a few of them in my shop, they're some of the most reliable fast cars ive seen. We have a crx with a b16a swapped into it that we service and it has close to 200,000 miles without any rebuild to the bottom end. The head was rebuilt recently only because the owner wanted to replace the aging valve seals. Suspension is tight, no sign of low PH on the cooling system (flushed every winter with distilled water) and runs strong. Fluids are maintained on a constant basis, and the car purrs. And 170+ hp in a car that weighs less than 2000lbs is FAST.
Evreyone has this BS notion that cars with high km are not reliable. this is total BULLSHIT. The problem lies not with the car but people not doing proper maintenance. An engine swapped honda, regardless of age is going to be more reliable than 90% of the cars out there. If the suspension is tight, and the cooling system is intact, brakes are good, theres no reason to not replace the entire drivetrain. My car has 280,000km and have never had a breakdown. As for resale value, check out the honda clubs. People are selling they're swapped hondas at a good price, and they go like krispy creme donuts
what good is a warranty if you can't ever drive your car because it's always in the shop? Every single neon owner I know hates their car. They have all had problems with them, and the srt won't be any different. Dodge=Junk
haha that vid made me luagh. hahaha
sti / evo vs srt... not even in the same ball park. maybe a reg wrx. yeah I dumped thousands of dollars into my hatch and I will prob dump thousands more. I'm not looking for something to buy thats fast out of the box... I build my cars for me. not to resell. although I have never raced a srt, you can do the math... my motor comes w/ 210hp on a 2400lb chassis... I have not taken it to the track, but I can guarantee it runs 13's. My heavy ass prelude gets into low 14's and trust me, I know that my civy is hella faster than my prelude. also... 9 times outta 10, a naturally aspirated motor will be more reliable than a forced one. s**t man... if you like the srt so much buy one and take ur ass to mopar land.

posted in another thread. just for reference
"Chrysler is now in second place behind for fewest (20) problems per 100 vehicles. Toyota is in top spot with 10 problems per 100 vehicles. That puts Chrysler ahead of Honda, Nissan, GM, Ford and even its upscale Mercedes-Benz big brother. "

i know this but it still holds the import class record. not sure why..... pretty retarded.... but still......Originally posted by Tacoma-Srunner
a ford focus isnt an import.. its FORD.. and i resent that toyota has mistakes with their vehicles!! mine is going strong!
whelp... with ford backing... there's no limit to what kind of perf a ford can make. same w/ mopar. the reason why those domestic manufacturers sponsor those teams is because they are chasing a honda dominated market. I'm not downing the srt4... I like all cars, beit a focus, civic, neon wutever. but a srt4 is no comparison to the sti. 300hp? awd? sorry bud... like i said no comparison. also for the srt4 to produce that much power its boost is set at 14lbs. 14 freakin pounds... reliable... hmmm. And as far as mercedes.... ever since chrysler took mb, resale values took a dip. look at ml... the first chrysler built mb. geez they fooked that one up.

i guess i look at the focus the way most of you look at the srt4 (not to compare the two) but they may be fast and proven but i would never own them because i find their styling horrible.
