For the Caliber SRT4, Dodge used the formula most carmakers follow when building sport compacts. Start with an affordable car, then add power, better brakes, stiffer suspension, a body kit and presto! You have a pocket rocket.

From launch, there's no mistaking the SRT4 for a normal Caliber. Pull from the 2.4-liter, 285-hp, turbocharged four-cylinder with 265 lb-ft of torque is strong after a brief turbo lag and stays consistent up to redline. The front-drive SRT4 lays down power and controls torque steer better than Mazda's Mazdaspeed 3. The good news is that while premium is recommended, the SRT4 can run on regular at the expense of 10 hp and 20 lb-ft of torque. Not bad for a car that returns 22 mpg following spirited drives.
