Faults:

Wheel alignment has gone out several times.

Too many squeeks and rattles, typical dodge.

Interior fit and finish below standards in comparison to its competitors, typical dodge.

Fast, but absolute lousy handling, again typical dodge.

General Comments:

The car is seriously quick and can blow away most if all V8s you encounter on the roads.

Most people think its just a neon, but it's a sleeper.

Image is lousy, neon. Civic and Corolla have a better image.

Faults:

Other than a faint gas smell , nothing.

General Comments:

Great sub compact, quick and nimble.The after market for this rocket is awesome. The need for speed is addicting and Chrysler knows it! 2000.00 will get you into the 12 's.

Faults:

Shift knob popped off.

General Comments:

This car is awesomely fast and handles great. The power it displays is far beyond what I expected. Forget what everyone says about it being good for the money. It outperforms cars that cost over $15,000 more than it.

The interior is actually quite nice and the fit and finish is great. The stereo is decent, and the gages are very easy to read due to the white-face style.

However, the shifting is a bit rough, as it can be difficult to quickly move through the gears. Dodge says it's a short-throw, and it is, but it is one of the longest short-throws I've ever driven. That being said, the tranny is very precise, and you cannot miss a gear.

Faults:

No trouble so far, but I got the car less than a month ago.

General Comments:

A car to be considered for anyone looking into a mid-range performance sedan. Stiff competition for the Subaru WRX to be sure.

Faults:

CD player made a clicking noise, but was fixed by the dealer, that's about it for now.

General Comments:

On uneven freeways like the 710, the car will "hop" because of the stiff suspension, which isn't that bad.

The car has some body roll on tight turns, which could be remedied with a little lowering.

My biggest disappointment is the turning circle - it sucks!

Other than these small issues, the car is awesome. I should have waited for the 2004 SRT4 since that one will include LSD, the 2003 was a one wheel wonder. The engine was made in Mexico, but is still better than sending my money overseas... although pretty much every electronic I have was made in Japan - I guess I'm a hypocrite.
