Your argument doesn't follow logically. So you're saying it's not a piece of **** because it's a great bargain? That's precisely why it's a piece of ****; it is so inexpensive, they couldn't afford to make it better. I agree it's a great bargain. I test drove and rode in the thing! Regardless of its price, it was a chincy automobile with a turbo.

Shall I go into detail?
Cheap breaks/calipers (the red paint even looked cheap)
Cheap interior overall
Cheap rims
front-wheel drive (Hence, was not cost effective to make it RWD)
felt cheap to drive/ride in (I think we all percieve quality as well put together and solid, which was lacking here imo)
and most noteably, it's a neon. Same body, same chassis.
They just call it an srt-4

So let me reiterate, it's a piece of SH*T in my opinion.

Notice I didn't say same engine I know we Z owners share the same powerplant that the altima/maxima owners have :P
