Mark Bilek

SRT-4 is a real winner. I'd probably go with a slightly more-absorbent tire for daily driving. Price is right, performance is right, and utility is right. An excellent choice for the commuter that wants some flavor and doesn't want to spend a lot of money.

Rick Cotta

Quick, compliant, and well equipped at $20,000, the SRT-4 is among the most liveable of pocket rockets. It nicely fills the price/performance gap between Sentra SE-R/Mitsu Ralliart and the WRX.

Tom Appel

While the mass appeal of this car is limited, to the right buyer the value rating here is a 10. This is the Mustang GT of the oughts--fast, cheap, and soon to be iconic.
