Yeah you can get wider seats in the SRT-4 when you option the side airbags but they're fugly regular Neon seats. The Mitsubishi EVO has Recaros in it and they're mighty comfy for me. But Dodge, the American company, has to make the seats overly confining in the SRT-4? I fit fine in all but the smallest 1-piece racing seats and yet when I sit in an SRT-4 I have to push my thighs together so much my balls get crushed. I guess adding $1500 to the bottom line for a set of Sparco Torinos would still keep it relatively affordable, but really, it's unacceptable to have to even take that into account.
As for hitting the WRX's seat bolster while shifting, I can't remember. Been a while since I drove a WRX. If it happened at the time it didn't stick out in my mind as being overly annoying. The shifter on the other hand, is a ropey piece of crap. I also didn't like the pedal layout so much.

SRT-4 and wouldn't look back . . .
unless it was in my rear view to see the WRX :chuckles:
I think it is hysterical to hear all of the people on here that say oh it's still a neon . . . like a subaru impreza is so much classier
The SRT-4 is made much more solidly than the WRX imho. If it had awd like the WRX it would appeal to even more people. I think the exterior is hands down better looking than the WRX's.
It all comes down to personal opinion at this point.

So..... WRX for looks, I love the blue and bronze thing, and handling plus I've been craving something different than FF, But SRT-4 for turbo potential?
What kind of potential does that Mazdaspeed Miata have? I was impressed with it (all but the stock HP).

I really don't think it is a much better car than a neon. Only thing it has over the neon is awd.
Have you even seen an SRT-4 yet alone driven one?
It has a very solid feel as do the regular neons. IDK what it is but Impreza's and WRX's feel like they are made out of aluminum and you close the door and it sounds like you are crushing a can :dunno:
