srt-4 vs. jetta

[lickyme_pp]

well, i asked your opinions and no one replied. i guess it is true what they say about jettas, they are shit. the new ones have all kinds of problems with them and aren't really all that fast. i'm going to go for the srt-4 so whenever i pull up to a jetta (or most any other car for that matter) i will speed away from them happily knowing that i paid only 20k for mine and can whoop ass even with a bone stock car. later.

I never saw your post about opinions. As for Jettas being a piece of shit, I love mine. I haven't had any problems with mine. SRT-4's are fast stock, but that doesn't make them any better. The ride quality in a jetta is much better, not to mention the interior quality and the options you get with it. The srt-4 does have some really nice seats, but you still have to manually roll up the back windows. To each his own, but I wish you would roll up to me in a stock one, because I would straight spank that ass. Don't let the 1.8ts fool you. Slight modifcations and it can turn into a beast.

Go for it big guy. An SRT-4 may be fast, but its still... a Neon. Still an american engineered bucket of crap. And I hope you wreck it into a pole, so there will be one less POS in my way on the road.

Have a wonderful day.

An American engineered bucket of crap??? Hmmm... All I hear about Jettas and most volkswagens is crap. In fact, reliability on an SRT-4 is a helluva lot more than a jetta. Between the two, I'd get the SRT-4.... But that's my opinion.

haha! will you be telling your friends that a neon can whoop your jetta's ass any day of the week? i don't think so. you'll make sure that they know it's an srt-4. don't get me wrong, i love how the jettas look. they're just too damn slow!

well, aren't Jettas Amigo-made tacos?

[tylerrules84]

booyah! i see you brought your little buddies to stick up for the pos Neon.
I wouldn't tell my friends an SRT-4 could whoop my Jetta's ass, because I don't have a Jetta. My point is not defending the Jetta, its simply to say that the SRT-4 is still a piece of crap.

If you want to say "hey it's cheap and fast" whoopty doo, i could get $7000 and build a 220hp 2400lb GTI without a turbo... even more power if i went with a turbo.

As for my saying that American cars are crap, I stand by that. Americans couldn't engineer their way out of a wet paper sack.

really that is funny...you do realise though that by posting this you just used an american enginnered CPU right?

Then would you mind telling us which car you drive?

Besides cheap and fast, the SRT-4 is also backed up by full factory warranty and being street legal, which the owner wouldn't have to worry about getting pulled over for stupud fixing ticket.

Oh, last thing, mind telling us your age?

[crayzayjay]

Any juvenile crap and this thread is closed

[tylerrules84]

Well I could tell you what I drive and how old I am... but what difference would it make? What difference especially does my age make? If you want to find some kind of background why not do a little search and find my other posts.

I could post solid, hard and fast evidence as to why the SRT-4 (read:Neon) is a piece of crap... but why? You'll say I'm full of it, and post meaningless drivel as to why I'm wrong, to which I will respond with more hard and fast evidence, and so on and so forth. You see, by posting pointless crap from the start, I eliminate the middleman. Which is where the thread was headed to start with (see the original post by "lickyme_pp" [and you want to know how old I am?])

Now, if anyone actually wants to know the facts, just say so and I'll be happy to make a meaningful post, otherwise I'll continue to just insult any person or post that tickles my fancy.

If you find it pointless to make meaningful posts, your stay on AF will itself be pointless and consequently short-lived. Entirely up to you. If you can back up your arguments, welcome aboard.

Do it once and you're banned

Sorry to see that you're another biased, misled, fool. I think the reason you won't post any proof that the SRT-4 is crap is simply because you don't have any. I, however, have some to prove that it isn't. Head over to Sport Compact Car's website. They did a tour of the plant where the SRT-4 engine is built and they were VERY impressed with the build quality. You people that keep saying it is a just a Neon, you're fools, whatever helps you sleep at night. There is nothing wrong with the older Neons, they are economy cars, but they are reliable and can be made to go pretty damn quick. However; the SRT-4 shares only a little sheet metal and some interior bits with the Neon. Everything else is different. The SRT-4 is no more a Neon than the Evo is a Lancer. As for American engineering, once again, whatever helps you sleep at night. The computer you're using is mostly American engineered and built parts. Another great example is Garrett. They make the BEST turbos in the world.

Pull your head out of your butt and stop posting misinformation.

As for the original thread, I would take the SRT-4 over any Jetta. The Jetta just isn't that fast stock. They are good reliable cars, but they just aren't that quick.

Yeah actually I read that article in Sport Compact Car, it did look pretty good. To be honest, I was only being a jerk because of the original post. That guy was a prick, almost as much of one as me.
The SRT-4's are the same as many American sporty cars, cheap horsepower. The overall build quality (from many reports I read... if you really wanna see, i can get links but geez) simply isn't up to par. But they're good if you just want cheap power. Kinda like a go-cart hahah.
Jetta's are not that fast stock (at least not yet, wait for the Jetta version of the R32), and are not that great of cars in my opinion. However, all of these "problems" with them are not all to be believed. Many of the problems have had roots in rather stupid drivers and dealers. At least that is the case with many of the ones that I have come across.
As for the american engineering, i mean specifically automotive industry. DSM in particular is widely known for making faulty cheap products. While they have been making strides forward in recent years, I'd still be highly wary of their products.

Oh and by the way, Polygon called me a fool. You should really ban him for insulting me.

Your point would come much better across if you would would actually post this evidence.
