Hey guys,

Thanks for watching & commenting. RE: the Caliber - At the beginning of this video the guys explain their approach. They're comparing how these cars feel to just sit in. Obviously, the Caliber's huge power will matter more in the upcoming driving comparison.

Yes, they got sidetracked on power in the Mazda, but then acknowledge power isn't everything, & this video is about interior feel and fit/finish.

In the end, we want people to be passionate about their car, So thanks for that!

All we want is you guys to fair dont talk about the mazda power if thats not the subject especially if your going to say that it eclipses the the others when it dosent Thats just crappy commenting

Hey Tuffer15,

Todd from Everyday Driver here. Our web guy thought I should comment on this thread. You're right man, we give an unfair impression of the Caliber's power. Truly my fault cause I misspoke in the Mazda. In the raw footage we are discussing how much more power the Speed3 gives the same chassis as the Volvo and Euro Ford focus.  Course... you can't tell that in the edited piece and that's uncool.

So. You're right, I'm wrong here. Look forward to showing you guys our driving review.

OMG, BAckSeat Driver said Amazing 6 Speed, like it just came out, he didn't even touch the wheel, lol, nice review, funny guys.

"This Mazdaspeed3 blows away everything in the hot hatch category with it's 263 HP"

Someone forgot to do their research. The Dodge Caliber SRT4 has 285 HP. As for the Caliber's potential? It uses the same platform and a larger version of the same engine as used on the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X. These guys are from LA and retarded. I would listen to advice from from a talking demented cow before these two. How did they get their jobs?

lol have fun in your SRT4

I still dont know why all the reviewers like motortrend, car and driver, automobile, and all the other ones like the gti so much. Personally I think it's ass ugly and so is the inside. The design of the seats reminds me of golfers pants which are ugly also. Id take the srt4 over all of these. I forgot these were guys I thought they were girls. Oh I dont wanna touch these hard plastic materials ooo gross. You can have your ugly ass gti and Ill take my srt4 and blow your doors off for less.

The dodge has angular shapes on the dash because it matches the exterior, noobs. If you like the hard edge exterior, chances are you will like that look on the inside. Very biased toward mainstream segment hatches. Its called playing it safe. That mazda is ass ugly and devoid of character styling wise. So we would drive a boring/ugly import because the inside makes me feel like I'm driving a BMW.

I've never been a fan of Dodge, but GM's interiors look good to me. Look at Malibu, Tahoe/GMC, Camaro, G8,G6, All the Buicks... Sorry if the plastic doesn't feel like velvet.

[donnis618]

@coolerdude44 I think the dodge is the heaviest/biggest. Good for all around american comfort. Also, this "feel" of the plastics is killing me. Fit and finish is one thing, but who goes around rubbing their nads over dash plastic!!! It's plastic! Because its not as soft your not gonna buy a particular vehicle? that's retarded. We are so far up europe's ass it's not even funny.
