Decibel battle
The Caliber SRT4 seems to come straight from the movie The Fast and the Furious, especially with that Kicker Livin Loud audio system. The 13 speakers combine with the 522-watt amplifier (located inside the cargo area) to give the engine a run for its money -- soundwise, of course.

The buckets are extremely snug, allowing an excellent driving position.

The rest of the interior is pretty much identical to other models in the lineup, including the overabundant plastics, the dual glovebox with Chill Zone as well as the removable/rechargeable flashlight in the headliner of the rear cargo area.

In short, this juiced-up Caliber might not rival in quality with a MAZDASPEED3, for example, but it will likely appeal to buyers looking for cheap yet outrageous power. After all, the mighty SRT4 is only $3,000 pricier than a Caliber R/T. Looks like a good deal to me!
