  • Love Mine! - 2007 Dodge Caliber
    By -

    Bought mine used w/13000 miles on it.Now have 25000 miles with no problems.Orginal tires w/good tread and no uneven wear issues.Love the interior b/c it is easy to wipe and clean (important w/2 young kids :).No transmission or other issues some have discussed-think that has to do mostly w/how you drive your car.Only complaint is that I only average 20 city & about 25 highway (nowhere near the 26-32 advertised :().Also, have CVT and acceleration could be smoother when getting out of 2nd gear to highway speeds.

  • Ping - 2007 Dodge Caliber
    By -

    I love my Caliber (still). It now has 21,000 miles and I enjoy its exterior appearance and interior comfort. Its drivability is alright. My Caliber was recalled for the "flash" that was supposed to have taken care of the brief pinging noise the engine makes immediately after shifting into gear and accelerating. My car still makes the pinging noise and I am concerned this will eventually cause damage to some engine component. My service man at the dealer told me I should try running the car with premium unleaded to see if the ping goes away. I just looked at him and laughed as I had already tried this. Seem Mopar doesnt know how to fix the product it designed.

  • Poor MPG and rear hatch - 2007 Dodge Caliber
    By -

    Ive been woefully disappointed with the MPG for my SXT. Im light on the pedal and to date, the advertised 31mpg city and 39mpg hwy have amounted to roughly 25mpg city and 31mpg hwy! Also, the rear hatch appears to stick in cold weather, which isnt good in Canada. With a stuck hatch, one finds a "hatch open" light comes on, thereby draining the battery. This happened to me twice!

  • Jury Still Out - 2007 Dodge Caliber
    By -

    Owned new and used Dodges all my life. Have bought them from a close friend who owns the dealership. My wifes 07 Caliber SXT has many +s but the -s are catching up as the miles add up, 3000 to date. Dash pops and pieces dont match up. My 2000 4x4 83000 mile Ram has less rattles and pops. Waiting on the dealership to correct this factory mistake. Rear brakes squeak and groan like a logging truck. Waitng on dealership to correct. Sunroof leaks hadnt sprung this on the dealership yet, dont want to overwhelm them. Wife loves the car. Thats what matters, and in time Ill sure that I can learn to love it also.

  • So far So Good! - 2007 Dodge Caliber
    By -

    Wonderful car thus far. Love how it is a crossover between a sedan (fuel economy/driving performance) vs. SUV(utility/seats higher up)

  • Pretty good. - 2007 Dodge Caliber
    By -

    I traded in a Tahoe in April to get better mileage. I really liked the styling better than the other cars in this class. I have a 1.8 sxt. Loved the extra features that didnt cost an arm and a leg (heated seats, 6 disc in dash, Cool Zone, etc). Also, I am 63, and it has a lot of head and leg room. I dont feel cramped like I do in my wifes Civic. I have been pleasantly surprised by the car. However, it has developed a pinging noise and Dodge has said it is a "non issue". I dont get 30 mpg, more like 26. However, after driving a Tahoe, anything is better than that. Also, random warning lights have come on, but they go off when restarted.

  • Caliber R/T ... A Bold Crossover - 2007 Dodge Caliber
    By -

    Ive had nothing but imports my whole life. Ive loved the design and reliability that Japan could offer me. When looking for a new car, I had a list of features that I needed. 4WD or AWD, a peppy engine, good handling, good styling, and around 20 Grand. I tested a lot and after testing the Caliber R/T I was convinced. It has alot of value in these catagories. The ride and acceleration are ultra smooth. The autostick and CVT feel generous and ready when accelerating, but jerky when breaking and downshifting. The handling is crisp for the size of the vehicle. But sharp cornering shows its high center of gravity. The end wants to wiggle loose. But the AWD system corrects minor over steer.

  • Fun to drive - 2007 Dodge Caliber
    By -

    I got my Caliber in April of 06 with 3 miles on it now I have 26,582. I have found no major problems with it. The bigest complant is with the tire air pressure display. It gives 3-5 psi difference. I have the yellow R/T

  • Surprised - 2007 Dodge Caliber
    By -

    I was surprised at how well the car drove, handled, and the ride comfort. I had intended to buy another Honda Civic but saw this in a dealers lot and I noticed it had all wheel drive at a decent price. I like the CVT transmission. The quality surprised me as the last Chrysler product I had was poor. I think this is an excellent car for the money

  • Read the fine print - 2007 Dodge Caliber
    By -

    So it says it can go up to 32 mpg, think again. I know several owners and no one gets that on the highway. The cooler only works if you have the air on full blast so its useless in the winter or if you enjoy riding with the windows down. Already had a recall and had to have mine serviced within 3 months for rattling in the engine. Said I was getting Sirius radio for 1 yr. I havent gotten it one day and yes I called to have it hooked up. It is a great first car or car for younger people. But myself, husband and two kids are kind of cramped, especially in the front.
