Why not the MS3? It's better in every way.

The 8, to say the least, just became impractical too quick for me as a daily driver.

The 8 was a great car tho and handles better than anything else I have owned or driven.

I can imagine trading the RX8 in on lots of cars but the SRT4 isn't one of them. MS3, Cooper S, Cobalt SS are competitors of the SRT4 and all better IMO. Hell get a WRX hatch, 265 hp AWD.

Might want to get some parts for it as Chrysler will probably be out of business in about 2 months.

yeesh, yea dog, if a hatch is what was wanted, the Speed 3 and wrx will MASH that Caliber in every category. But hey, it was your choice and im sure you have your reasons. GL with the car.

Thanks for most of those comments guys?

Why the caliber and not the others mentioned? wanted something different.
MS3? Duval Mazda (dealer) kinda sucks.
Neon? no hatch!
old rx7? no warranty, no dignity, no thanks
STI? very considerable, pricey in comparison for a new one with same features.
Challenger? 30K+ just for the RT... again no thanks! my buddy just bought a charger tho.

Definitely a sublime fan. You're a fool... Dont F#@* around with my dog.

All 3 hood scoops are functional!

All FS parts have been posted on "Traded.."

Oh and there is way more room for ***** in this thing.

the event was Cars and Coffee.... I think i mentioned that already. GOOGLE it.

LOL, you guys are mean, but that was funny.

If you like the car then you like the car, it doesn't matter much what we think about it. But you were kinda asking for it posting this here

Post on a Dodge forum and I'm sure you'll get some love.

Lousy mazda dealership is still better than a caliber srt4. IMHo that thing is a disgrace to even the neon SRT4. MS3 is better in every which way to this thing. I always feel terrible for Caliber drivers. Maybe they didn't know about the Mazda3.
