SRT-4 - Toyota Yaris Forums

elsteverino889 · 03-04-2007, 09:21 PM

Man after this weekends events..I think I want a SRT-4. I can trade in my Yaris but 2-3 G's down and have a pratically new SRT-4 maybe already with some mods and low milleage maybe as much as my car has. Ive shared my views already on the low productivity of aftermarket companies and their interests on the Yaris. SRT is a sweet as car with a TURBO stock and ready to mod.

The big 3 in the US are going to shit. Good luck getting 150K miles out of an SRT4

hey!! the wifey and i kept our cars for almost a decade!! my '97 civic had 130K miles, and her '97 avalon had 110K miles. the miles were pretty low since we spent 4.5 years in college, with practically zero commute (dorms and campus apartments). we intend to spend another decade in our sienna and yaris, and thats the reason why we narrowed our choices to either toyota or honda. those brands have been good to our families, and definitely last a while. if you do get a srt-4, we wish you well as you zoom by us on the streets and highways!! from personal experience, domestics have disappointed us. but some research has shown that domestic cars' bad reliability is only a perception. some numbers actually show that domestics beat german cars in terms of reliability and number of unplanned trips to the dealerships. of course, japanese cars were the most reliable, but not by very much. i forget exactly where on msn.com i read this. and many others have had great experiences with domestics. good luck with whichever car you choose to stick with! treat her well, and im sure she'll do the same...

Actually, it's, "you're a fucking moron."

Now, debunk jdubau55's theory without making yourself look any worse.

I was referring to U.S. Auto sales. In that respect Toyota has a lot of ground to cover to catch GM.

General Motors 4,028,992
Ford Motor 2,716,383
Chrysler Group 2,142,505

Toyota/Lexus/Scion 2,542,525
Honda/Acura 1,509,358

yo if u want a srt-4, you might wanna wait for the new dodge caliber srt-4. it's got 300 hp and 260 lb-ft of torque. also the new dodge avenger (looks like a smaller version of the charger) is supposed to get an srt model if u like that style better. theres also a chance that the avenger srt would be awd versus the caliber srt-4's fwd.

Snake · 03-05-2007, 02:39 AM

I own both vehicles, if you want to know something about either let me know, be glad to help
you can pick up a used srt-4 for about 10-12k around here so its not that bad
but you maintenance on that car is going to be a lot more than a toyota
if your looking for reliability keep the yaris

Snake · 03-05-2007, 02:40 AM

do not wait for the caliber, or the avenger, save your money and get a used one

Na the caliber is ugly and expensive, and the avenger is a diff story bro

From what I recall Globally Honda is not a big player. It is mainly big in Japan and the Us, with a "small" market share throughout the rest of the world. I might be tripping though...

Wrong. The Civic has the highest overall production numbers of any car in the history of motoring. That's a fact.
