well the ol tC went byebye Thursday. I traded it in a deal I couldn't pass up. Many people don't like what I got, but I don't care... it's leaps and bounds more comfortable than my tC was, rides better, more smooth and much quicker. My tC was auto, and I was about fed up w/ it.

heres a few shots i took in asheville, nc this past weekend. picked up the ride Thursday and headed up to the mountains... had a blast

 

You've got my approval for going with that over an auto tC. Nice pics BTW.

 

Thanks. A few hundred bucks and this thing is 300+whp

 

Wait a minute - you traded your TOYOTA for an American car, especially a Dodge?

Uh, yeah. You'll need a new transmission before you hit 30,000 miles.

If you need more convincing, head on over to Edmunds.com and search for reviews on the car, and how many people complain about nothing but problems. Engine problems, suspension problems, transmission problems. One of my friends has an 08 and his car's transmission completely died, and he only made it to 15,000 miles. Plus, he needed all new tires because the tread is completely gone. I told him to go straight to Mazda to get his car, but he liked the design of the Dodge, and now he regrets it.

If you were going to buy American, you should have bought a Ford instead. They don't really have hatchbacks, but at least you would have a car that maintains its value and actually work for more than 100,000 miles.

Good luck. Hopefully your Caliber will work out for you!

 

That last picture is CRAZY good!

 

No offense, but that car is garbage. A co-worker had one of those for about 2 years, and everything under the sun went wrong with it (transmission failed, steering problems, leaking fluids). She sold it and bought a civic.

Good luck at least...

 

oh bummer.... so sad...

 

I've never met any Caliber owner who said they'd buy another. It's usually, "I really hate this car."

But, hey, if you like it, who cares?

 

Car Design wise...UGLY!.....

The Caliber makes the 2nd Gen tC look Awesome in design wise.

 

not related to ur new car, but what dslr + lens did you use haha

 

baha fail

 

yall are a bunch of haters. dear god, i left the scion community. oh noez... now my new car is going to fall apart bc its american! :gasp:

give me a break.

 

____ you too.

 

a ford? seriously? dear jeebus. i had a buddy with xB that blew up on it... stock... omg, skyons are failures.

 

 

i love the srt-4 caliber... plus is has a different tranny than any of the other calibers. congrats on a beastly car!

 

Actually Fords are one of the best American cars around today... We just have to hope they bring the Focus RS to the USA ... now that would be awesome. Good luck with the Dodge.

 

Lol scions are not failures. Loli like how the caliber looks but they are not fast yes quicker then a stock Tc but boost for boost. The Tc rapes the caliber. But hey no one is paying that car but you so enjoy!

 

You owned a Scion up until 4 days ago and now all of a sudden they're fail? Lol ok.
