The 2.4L version is fun to drive. The 1.8L is a joke (software issues with
the A/C and throttle percentage), and the 2.0L needs a little more HP to get
out of its own way. Drove the R/T version as well - that one is cool...6
speed autostick (and it actually almost feels like a regular transmission).
As for problems with them - so far so good. Only the first few months were
plagued with software issues. Other than that - haven't really had to do
anything on them except for maintenance. (Looks like DC did their homework
on this one.)

Speaking of the Caliber, what are your thoughts and experiences with it?
Once you get past the gimmicks -- lighted cup holder and chilled glove
compartment -- it looks pretty nice, from what I've seen. I haven't heard
much about it, though.
