Well my trip to the Dodge dealership to pick up some parts for Cheryl's car ended me test driving a Caliber SRT-4 with only 3 miles on it... a few options including the Kicker System.
My thoughts on the car...
Overall appearence I like it. So much better in person for those who have not gotten a chance to see one yet in person.
Handling... fantastic! I was taking turns with it at around 80mph, with ESP On that I would lose it taking my SRT-4 through.
Performance... eh it lacks. Maybe its because I'm used to driving modded SRT-4's. At 10lbs of boost the Caliber SRT-4 felt sluggish but up top it felt pretty stronge.
Definately a nice car overall and it does have potential.
I'm not embarrass to say it but I did stall out the car 3 times. One time I was in 3rd and thought I was in 1st. The clutch itself feels a lot different then our stock clutch and of course the shifter itself is odd and in an odd position.
They had (2) Caliber SRT-4's available for purchase. The dealership also just acquired a Dodge Viper SRT-10. Oh man was that thing sick.
