Test Drove New Srt4

[MS3Chik]

ALL I HAVE TO SAY IS GARBAGE. The csrt4 sucks..it feels like you are driving a truck..okay b4 i start bashing....
i get to the dealer.. i have a look around..it looks pretty good imo..they should have put 18s on it but oh well.. you cant even hear the thing it is so quiet.. it has a muffler and cats (not like the older srt4s with resignators) the interior is pretty nice..it looks smaller than the mazda tho..the shifter is pretty nice and they have good details.. the boost gauge is cool it boosts 10lbs constantly but has turbo lag like mother..then i took it through a turn and i thought the thing was going to flip over..if you are over 5'5 i wouldnt recommend getting in one. im 5'3 and i felt like i was squished..then the dealer asked if he can go for a ride in my mazda and said what i great pull it had and how well it could handle.. he kept assking me what i had done to it and he wouldnt believe that all i had was a cai..it was 27k for the thing..decent car but once you've driven the mazda there is no comparrison..

I'd have thought the lack of a resignator would make it sound more purposeful and gung ho, so to speak. Who needs all sighing and all the whining about how it's just worth it to really try. Definitely not what one looks for in a performance-oriented car.

It's a unique car not worth that price, but an option for people with a different taste . can't wait to see one on the road, then i'll do the ricer flybye on the next exit

I think by different taste she meant either:
1 - Chrysler employees
2 - E-thugs who own Neon SRT-4s
3 - Blind folk

i read the boost gauge has horrible placement...

is it really that hard to see?

Everytime I looks at a caliber I am happy I did not get an srt4.

I think the old srt4's had no muffler at all, just the cats and a resonator. From the looks/sounds of things I'm glad I didn't wait for the csrt4 to come out before making my decision!

Doesn't look that hard too see, pretty similar to putting it in your vent on the MS3.

2 kudos from me: The seats look very comfortable and supportive, and I love the center-mounted tach. Other than that....no thanks.

 

[tunersteve]

That cruise control lever looks like the biggest afterthought in that whole interior. Steering wheel has that cheap Chrysler plastic texture. Seats do look comfortable though.

Calibers suck.

Oh, I fully appreciate the use of resonators. The throaty, lower frequency sound is just what I look for in an exhaust. What I fail to appreciate is the use of resignators. I just don't understand why anyone would want an exhaust that makes the car sound like it's not even willing to try.

i saw the boost gauge pretty good and im up to the steering wheel..the look on the steering wheel is "carbon fiber".. wow..not comfy at all..i felt so packed in the car and i only weigh 110..that car is going to be for someone thats not into driving or having fun..just for someone that can say that they have a turbo car or an srt4

you guys need to go over to caliberforums and educate yourselves on the potential of this engine

 

[MS3Chik]

it needs the potential to actually move

yea it makes 400 hp but it needs that to keep up

I'm sure there's potential for that engine...but is it worth driving around in the biggest turd on four wheels to come out in the last few years? I'll keep my dignity, thank you very much.
