In my opinion their all great cars. Personally I think the SE-R and SRT-4 are cheaply built. I have an 03 SE-R and the interior sucks and my cousin has an 04 SRT-4 which has had afew interior pieces replaced. While the GTI and MSP have get interiors. All these cars base models have been on the market for afew years now. Personally I would go with the GTI because of all the aftermarket performance support it has available. The SE-R has nothing close to that. The SRT-4 has factory performance support and thats awesome. As for the MSP good luck locating a new one. I did see a used one afew months ago at a Dodge dealer.
