Overview & Reviews

The enthusiast-oriented Dodge Caliber SRT4 makes its debut this year, bringing with it a turbocharged 285-horsepower engine. The rest of the 2008 lineup is pretty much unchanged. Caliber SXT and R/T models have some additional standard equipment this year, and all Calibers get new chrome accents within their cabins.

• Versatile interior, available all-wheel drive, wide range of engine choices.

• Sluggish acceleration from CVT-equipped models, low-quality interior materials, unimpressive build quality, several important safety features are optional rather than standard.

  Good in crash - 2008 Dodge Caliber
  By Jessi - August 7 - 7:00 pm

  This car was great to drive, comfortable and affordable. No one wanted to test the crash test rating, but we did. We were rear-ended on the freeway going very fast. I think the car did a great job absorbing the impact and the fact that my husband, my dog and myself are still around is the testimony.

  Awesome little Srt4 - 2008 Dodge Caliber
  By David D. - April 19 - 10:33 am

  I was looking for a small economical, fast, good looking car. I read about it on magazines and saw it @ the LA Auto Show, I felt like I already owned one before I bought one. It was exactly what I hoped for the first time I drove it. For a little 4 banger its really fast, the 5th day I had it I was waiting at a red light, next to me was a mustang cobra...Yup a cobra! Guess who won by 5 whole cars, YUP ME! left the mustang smoking... NO LIE! you can see the video on U tube.

  Sweet Ride - 2008 Dodge Caliber
  By DROSE27 - July 28 - 9:46 pm

  I purchased my 08 Caliber in Feb. loving it so far! Its so much fun to drive, and people are constantly taking second looks. I dont see that many on the road. It fits our family of three perfectly. I wish that the cruise control was lighted when the lights come on.

  Great price, quality ratio - 2008 Dodge Caliber
  By Tom - January 26 - 3:13 pm

  Traded a V8 Jeep Grand Cherokee. My wife and I could not be happier at this point. The car has a lot to offer for the price. It handles well and gets 25 to 26 honest mpg. at 78 to 80 mph (checked 3 times). At 70 it gets 30 plus mpg. Around town it gets 25 mpg. It needs more pick up from 0 to 40 but it can cruise along at 90. I suggest a 2.4 that gets 185 horses - but still gets good milleage. This is the first 4 cylinder I have ever had. Im impressed. Sunroof and other options are really enjoyable. Inside is "plasticy," but the price is right. It handles better in high winds and over rail road tracks at higher speeds than my friends 4cyl camry.
