Following the Neon-based SRT-4 Sedan, the Dodge Caliber SRT-4 is coming back for 2008 after being discontinued in 2005, when in three years poor production persisted.
The 2008 Dodge Caliber SRT-4 will be offering Dodge’s compact front-drive Caliber package, along with packing a turbocharged and intercooled four-cylinder engine and racy styling. For the 2008 year version however, the Dodge Caliber SRT-4 will be having more power and better transmission. The new Caliber SRT-4 has also proved its safe worthiness after having achieved an EPA fuel economy of 21 mpg on city and 26 on highway. Pricing is at $23,990 and $22,995 for the base.
As with the old SRT-4, the speed of the new model is impressive – taking you from 0 to 60 mph in less than 6 seconds. Priced with $19,999, the previous model is good to drive, aside from being a quiet machine. It had no muffler; instead, it relied on the turbocharger to keep the sound good enough to be legal. But, the new Caliber SRT-4 is sporting a muffler.
The new model’s turbocharged and intercooled 4-cylinder engine has the same displacement of 2.4 liters as with the old SRT-4, of which has enhanced power set at 285 horsepower (55 more than the old car) and 265 lb-ft of torque (15 better). Together with the mount of power, the weight and price followed, increased 10% and 15% respectively.
More than being equipped with premium Dodge axle assembly, the new Caliber SRT-4 features the same basic styling, as it has aggressive front end with multiple hood scoops and big grille openings feeding the intercooler. It comes closely comparable with the Dodge Charger SRT-8 with regards to the big five-spoke wheels; though the Caliber has oversized fender flares that make those wheels look quite small, while the finned rear bumper looks dorky.
Far from a usual sports car, the 2008 Caliber SRT-4 has tall and upright driving position. But, it is comfortable, if a little short on thigh support. The steering wheel and pedals are perfectly positioned though. Comparing it to regular Calibers, the SRT-4 has rearranged instrument cluster with the tachometer in the center and a turbo boost gauge.
Overall, most test drivers seem to like the old Caliber more than the latest, because the price and performance makes a big difference to be preferred.
