that was a good honest revue!

no kidding. not as bad as the plastic they used to make the signal(multi) lever in my camaro. sounds like your snapping kitten necks everytime you turn.

Most tend to be fair comparing the two.

I work with a guy who has a SRT4 and when we park near each other his car just looks and feels cheap.

His is fast and runs great but I just can't get past the less than solid feel.

That reviewer sounds like he read a lot of Tom McCahill's work.

He was not kind to the Mopar:

"Where the Dodge Caliber SRT-4 punishes and rewards, the Chevrolet HHR SS just obeys. The Dodge is ugly, dimwitted, overpowered and underdeveloped."

ouch!
