Also, I've drivne LOTS of 40-60k mile Neon's and they are ALL pretty ratty already even at that young age. Every Nissan I have ever driven of similar age (and again, that's quite a lot of them) has aged very well.
And I've never seen a Nissan with the Neon's infamous removable paint problem.

The lancer may be a little nicer, but it's still just a FWD econobox to me. Sorry if that offends anyone, but that's my opinion. I'll never own a FWD vehicle.

The Lancer is actually, from a quality perspective, probably the best car Mitsubishi has ever sold in the United States. Last year at the annual meeting in Chicago, the dealer service reps were told to upsell product because they were not going to make anything on warranty claims on the Lancer. In it's first year the Lancer had the lowest number of warranty claims of any vehicle Mitsubishi has sold in the U.S. in its history.
The Neon on the other hand...
I do have to wonder, if you hate FWD vehicles so much, why are you even in here and in particular, why are you posting on this topic.
Guys, the Lancer is a **** box? Im not being biased here, the Lancer is no ****box. Econobox, yes. Trust me, when I see my dads Accord going in for more recall and warrenty work than my car, I hardly classify the Lancer as a **** box. I pound the **** out of mine and its still running strong. To each is their own though....oh yea and for the money you cannot beat the SRT-4.

Like I said, the quality may be a little nicer, but they're still both slow economy cars. Same class. So if the SRT4 is a POS because it's based off a slow economy car, then by that logic the EVO would be a POS because it's based off a slow economy car.
I'm posting here because I do like the SRT4 for it's performance. I just wouldn't buy one because driving a FWD isn't fun to me.

Mitsubishi provides the turbo, the rest of the motor is all Chrysler. Note that the bore and stroke are different than on the Mitsu 4G64.

SRT-4's are hitting the street plus video
Well, since the current asking price is $45,000 from one California dealership for an EVO, the Neon at $22,000 (nicely equipped) is looking better for straight line dry pavement fun! 
Here is a link to a video of a street race between a WRX and a stock SRT-4.

Build a car make it cheap, make it popular, make it break down every friggin month now where is this world coming too? OMFG the f*ck up and turn the neon into the P/T cruiser and then after that they try and fix the friggin neon. Cmon people its still the worst built car in North America
If you want a good quality car you pay $$$ for it not try and get yourself something that can blow away a wrx for a month then have to spend about 5 Large to fix it after you blew out the motor.
