My roomate got one of those as a rental a couple months back when he was sent TDY to NO. He hated it with a passion, and complained of it being stupidly underpowered. I take it that's generally not the case?

The Caliber is a fine looking car, it always catches my eye when I'm driving around town.

Don't get me wrong, I love the way it looks. Dodge has always done a wonderful job with vehicle design. I'm just curious as to whether they have a power issue or something.

Oh, and I don't really like corn flakes anyway. I'm a Special K type of guy, especially the kind with red berries. Mmmm.. cereal...

Chiggie and Mahinae don't strike me as the people who really care if their car doesn't hit 60 in less than 6 seconds.

I like the Caliber. It's got lots of fun little usability features and it looks nifty on the outside. It's apparently a solid car too. Enjoy the new vehicle!

Now me.. I'd probably not be completely happy with it unless it was the as yet unreleased SRT-4 model, but I'm like that.

Mahinae, I could believe.. but Chiggie, the Man of a Thousand Rants, Destroyer of Horrible Drivers, needs a car with OOMF. One where you think 'go faster' and it's already there.

Ah, who am I kidding. His lack of need for go-fast is probably why he hates truckers so much.

Looks like there are several different engines available for it, ranging from 148 hp (SE) to 280 hp (SRT-4).

Good for you, mahinae. Someday I'll replace my loyal Jeep, preferably with something that has working AC and gets more than 18 mpg.

I gotta agree with Certis, J - when someone buys something new, you say "Cool!" or nothing at all. Like the time when my drummer friend decided he needed the new ESP James Hetfield signature guitar, X-plorer type body style with genuine imitation diamond tread plating - man, I nearly bit my tongue in half not saying anything negative.

And I've been loving Dodge's designs for several years now. They haven't made one that's quite "me" yet (nor have I needed a car), but I like 'em.

I agree with the sentiment, but in situations where I have a more personal stake in the matter(currently looking for a new vehicle, and I do like the Caliber in a man that looks sweet kind of way), I'm obviously not one for mincing words. Ah well, something to get better at I suppose.

Ding! My Jeep is a '96 with 185k miles. I needs a new ride, I does. Somebody told me about the Honda Fit, but I don't think I'd fit in one. Me wants a Mustang! VroomVROOM!!!!

The wife and I looked at one of those; but my grandfather's GM employee discount ended up pushing us towards a Chevy Aveo (sedan) with 26 miles. Before this, neither me nor my wife had ever bought a brand new car.

The downside is that he ended up totally regretting it - it probably cost about a grand, and I'm sure he sold it for much less. I tried to give little hints before he bought it, but once he did I felt it wouldn't have been cool to trash it. Good lord, that was a guitar you could only play in a Metallica tribute band.

Look, just let her be excited about her car. I didn't even pick it out. I'm sure it's a great car. She's just trying to show it off.

I have a '93 Dodge Dynasty that despite it's almost 170,000 miles is still great at scooting my hefty ass around town.

It looks like it's been to Baghdad, but drives like it's only been to Somalia.

The lack of initial zooooom is okay for me. I don't take off very fast, and I try not to speed so much since I got a speeding ticket.

My mom has a Jeep Liberty. I wanted one, but those are a little out of our price range right now. I also got 3 years of free oil changes. Another yay!
