Default A little help

Hey guys im lookin at gettin a smaller car...gas is still killin me in my beloved HEMI...thinkin about an SRT-4...just got a few questions u guys can hopefully answer

1. Can you all consistently get 22+ MPG?
2. Advantages over an Evo or STi?
3. Easily modded? and can it keep that killer fuel economy with the mods and upgrades?

I do love how cheap i can get one of these fast cars and am definitely leaning towards one...but i like the AWD of STis and Evos

I never had any problem getting around 22+mpg. Evo's or STi's will run you in the mid $30K range for a new one while a decent used SRT-4 can be had for half that. If you live in snow country, AWD is the way to go.

plus evo's and sti's are rated at about 18mpg wen driven nicely. I have stage2 with 300whp on my srt4, and it runs really rich and i still get about 20-22mpg average depending on how i drive it. Sometimes i get 18 mpg but only when i drive aggressively.
