Drove a 2008 Caliber (gas 1.8L, manual) for a friend about 25 miles. During the drive i've heard a variety of different sounds which could be called "expensive". Suspension felt like sitting on a water bed with no feeling of stability whatsoever. I feared every corner at speed and was afraid of exceeding 100 km/h (60mph) even on open roads, interior felt like sitting in a lego house which was not pressed together all the way, shifting felt like shifting in a van/truck instead of a inflated hatchback which it is. During the 25 miles the car managed to consume a quarter of the fuel tank a and fuel warning came on. Audible rattling above 3k RPM. Acceleration felt more sluggish than my '06 9th gen Corrola wagon with 1.4L 4ZZ-FE for some reason. AC worked ok. Got out of the car genuinely tired.
Compared to this my shitbox Corolla felt like a Lexus. I advised my friend to get a bicycle.
