Hi All

im looking at swapping my x-fire coupe for a srt-6

1. is this a good idea
2. is the mpg about the same
3.would the servicing be about the same


thanks for any help on this

 

Do it! You won't regret it. I get about 21-22mpg in my mix of city/hwy driving.

 

with my coupe i get about 350miles to a full tank that is around town and motorway driving


as petrol is so £££ over here about $2 per litre i need to make sure it will not cost me twice as much as what ive got

 

Got them both 05 Ltd roadster and 05 SRT roadster several hundred vin numbers apart both auto Ltd gets 27 mph and Srt 22 mph no difference in upkeep both great cars at the old $10,000 difference at list you would have to make a choice now with it around $2000 to $3000 difference go for the SRT

 

Got 15.6 mpg on my last tank. Guess my foot is a little heavy.
I've seen as high as 24 mpg on the highway, seem to average 17 something in the city.

 

i will go and test drive it this weekend and let you know what i have decided

 

SOLD! Once you mash the gas you are going to be SOLD!

 

thats what i think once i drive it and feel the super charger it will be a done deal

 

I got 22.9 MPG on my first tank, and that was with some "comparisons" to my buddies car.

I find myself driving this car "nicer" than my Neon daily driver. Cruise control helps too.

 

Computed 28-29 with roadster and 22-24 with SRT6, mostly highway driving with both. Problem with SRT6 is inability to refrain from using the s/c a couple times every drive.

 

im not a mad driver so i should be ok

 

... yeah, until you feel that urge to be BAD!!!

Then the MPG's start slipping away into "hyperspace"

Get it and never look back!

 

If Ya Can Afford The Car Ya Can Afford The Gas!!!!!
Enjoy!!!
I Live In Canada Where The Gas Is Expensive And It Aint An Issue
Srt6 All The Way.....

 

i feel that im being pushed into this lol. i dont think it will take much

 

update


I went to see the srt yesterday and it was a very bad car

• it looked like it and been put through a car was about 200 times loads of little scratches and the colour looked dull
• It was in km not mpg which told me it was not a UK spec car. The guy told me it was from Australia
• there where loads of scuff marks all over it
• there was only 13k on the clock but the foot rest had worn away which tells me it had done more then 13k
• over all my car was 200% in better conditions and as much as I wanted it my head told me the car was not right

the search goes on

 

yep, don't need a beater...keep looking...but...did you drive it anyway to see the power difference? ....I can tell you, you guys w/ the N/A's can keep up w/ us SRT's thru the corners, its just the power band that is different...just did some mountain driving with a mixed group, the n/a's didn't have a problem at all...only in the straights, did we pull away...happy hunting...gas mileage isn't noticeable, only a few mph difference...

 

Too bad it was trashed.
Good luck on your continued search.

 

i didnt get to drive it the guy selling it said if we dont have a deal then there is no point you driving it what a **** head

 

well, there you go...you don't want to buy from a ????head either.....

 

Hi Danny

I traded my coupe for a sr-t 1 year ago, and im in the UK as well, here's the difference's

1. Fuel consumption will go down to 250-275 miles per tank (somewhere around 20mpg)

2. Insurrance was hardly any different (good news got mine for £370)

3. The ride is much firmer which translates to bumpy on our roads mate: dont let it put you off

4. Performance: keeps up with just about anything

5. No more electronic spolier ! ( i miss that sound!)

6. Seats are better !
