I think some people are getting a little too emotional and butt hurt in this thread I swear....

First off, mac, you make it seem like the interior of the CSRT4 is down right crap. It isnt sorry to break it to you the MS3 interior isnt that much better in my opinion, and if you look at it isnt the MS3 interior almost the EXACT same interior in a regular mazda 3? So much for a 25,000 dollar interior.

I personally like the CSRT4 interior (and no I dont own a CSRT4), Im still in the boat on what car I will be buying. Second for a guy who drives a 30,000 dollar car MSRP you really cant be comparing about interiors, because your cars interior for that price range lacks completely. For a few thousand more then an SER Altima you could have gotten a BMW 125I/135I, EVO X, STI, 350z, Infinity G series all for a little more then what the SER sells for. Now compared to those cars you car would have a "crappy" interior as well. For the money the only reason you would buy a Altima SER is because its a Nissan. BMWs have better interior, better handling, better performance, and its a BMW.

So now I ask you why did you buy a 30,000 dollar car with a 20,000 dollar interior?? I mean dont get me wrong, I dont say any of this to get your undies in a bunch. Im trying to help you put into perspective, it sounds like you already have Dodge at a lower standard by your posts, so why even look at the CSRT4? YOU KNOW you didnt like their interiors so why hold it in consideration when looking at a car designed for something else?

Is it just me or does every say the car is 25,000 dollars last I checked its 22,000 dollar car. For 22,000 dollars you get a turbo'd 4 cylinder that makes over 250HP to the wheels bonestock, (they didnt slap 19 inch wheels on there to make it fit the wheel well) the wheels are so it clears the brake rotors, if you havent forgotten straightline isnt everything the bigger brakes help it on the track.

Dont like the way the interior is? Then buy a GTI, which has a better interior but is slower then the CSRT4, you make compromises at this price range your not going to get everything you want out a 25,000 dollar car, you make it sound like 25,000 is a lot of money for a performance vehicle which sorry it isnt even your 30,000 SER performs on the same level as the CSRT4 and MS3 running in the 14s with average drivers for 30,000 dollars you better get something more or it wouldnt be worth it now would it.
