Well, with the choices that you provided...I would go with the SRT-4. The Cobalt makes me sick to my stomach, and I've never really like the tiburon all that much.

I'm guessing you have somewhere around 20k to spend right? If so, I can give you a couple more options that you could go with.

srt4 is the fastest by a long shot from all of those...if youre looking for speed then that would be your choice...the cobalt=saturn redline. i think the cobalt looks alright but its still slow. and the tiburon just sux.

the srt4 isn't much faster than the cobalt ss but both are far from the tiburon

also you didn't say what models you're looking into

IMO I'd get the SS because skittles are so dime a dozen, it's a GM product, and I love supercharger whine

Neons dont hold their value for SHIT. You will be upside down like a mother in a year or so.










i think the tiburon looks pretty damn pimp

Well if you must go to the FWD camp why not look at the Sentra spec V. Alot to be said for the reliability of the car. And it has decent power for what it is. Also Scion has put out a new car this year that looks pretty hot and with a toyota power plant should be very reliable.
