2008 Dodge Caliber SRT4, Part Three

Why you should buy this car:
You'd never be caught dead in a foreign car but you're still drawn to the versatility of a hatchback. Your friends all drive Preludes with ridiculous body kits and faux carbon fiber hoods and you want to give them something to think about at stop lights. You're Mopar through and through but the Charger is too big and the Challenger is too far out of your price range. You like the bold exterior.

Why you shouldn't buy this car:
You've got no problem buying any of the many other cars in this class that provide similar value without all of the compromises that come with the SRT4. You're an adult.

2008 Dodge Caliber SRT4, Part Two

Exterior Design:**
Though not quite designed for the city, the SRT4's looks are architectural. Instead of taking the truck-like exterior of the Caliber RT and making it appear sporting, Dodge's design team has embraced what they were stuck with and given the vehicle a unique, rough, look that isn't completely unlikable.

Interior Design:**
The interior of the SRT4 is still a bit too much like the interior of the stock Caliber to be enjoyed as a sports car, especially with the inclusion of the exceedingly cheap plastics. Nevertheless, the cloth sport seats with the red contrast stitching are reasonably sporty looking and quite supportive. The leather-wrapped steering wheel is comfortable and the SRT4 gauges are easy to read and give some hint that this particular model isn't your grandma's econobox.

2008 Dodge Caliber SRT4, Part One

The Dodge Caliber SRT4 has six forward gears, but I never once felt the need to use all of them. Was there more mileage to be gained? Sure. But it was a lot more fun to shift down to second and feel the car pull forward. I was driving like a 17-year-old, which is the only way to drive if you're going to enjoy this car. Try driving it like an adult and you're going to hate it.

Dodge Attempts to Reunite Tuner with Fiancee, Disaster Sure to Follow

Dodge has announced the winner of the "Are You Tuned Out" contest, which invited the boyfriends and girlfriends of gearheads to write a short essay explaining why their significant other was completely ignoring them. The winner was Zach Madrid of Colorado Springs, who was so tuned-out that he was unable to have a "civilized conversation" with his fiancee if there was a car on television. As the winner of the competition, Madrid gets a brand new Caliber SRT4, which is sure to drive a wedge deeper into their already delicate relationship. Full press release below:
