  I hate that I brought this car!!! - 2007 Dodge Caliber
  By Tabitha - December 13 - 7:13 am

  I purchased this car because I wanted something larger but with great gas mileage. The transmission is shot and I have only had the car for TWO years. :-(

  Engine problems - 2007 Dodge Caliber
  By sdw - April 15 - 1:36 pm

  I bought my first new car and was totally excited that I wouldnt have car problems for a while. My car has 40,000 miles on it and I need a new engine. I would have been better off buying a used car, I would have probably had less problems.

  Learn from our mistakes - 2007 Dodge Caliber
  By dogbertx - April 6 - 8:46 pm

  After many recommendations from the in-laws I purchased a Dodge Caliber. All-in-all Im horribly disappointed. The best drive Ive had was the test drive. Terrible fuel economy relative to other like-sized vehicles. Noisy on all but the smoothest paved roads. Concrete highways were a nightmare. I cant recommend the vehicle on any level.

  Average, Had some problems - 2007 Dodge Caliber
  By sgtbrobertsipd - January 12 - 8:56 am

  Purchased a Caliber for my wife in April. Looks decent on the outside, interior leaves a little to be desired. Several times the check engine light came on, ended up being some air/fuel sensor that blew almost on a weekly basis. When it did, the gas mileage went from 30MPG to literally about 8MPG. That was a pain the butt with gas prices. Dodge took care of it, no questions asked. The only other problem we have noticed is the gas pedal is a little sensative. When you push it, there is either a delay or it guns it. With my wife being pregnant, that can be annoying when it jerks her.

  Its Growing on Me - 2007 Dodge Caliber
  By altarofego - November 6 - 9:50 am

  This car is a good commuter car. I bought it because it seems the car best balancing gas mileage and interior space. Im on the tall side at 64". It is slow and handles poorly when pressed, but I dont dirve that way. The tubing covering the break lines has dropped down 4 times and the dealer does not seem to have a solution. I had to fix it. The steering wheel controls for the radio/cd player have a mind of their own. The left button that should change the stations only does that occasionally. Mostly it lowers or raises the volume randomly. I no longer us it. I dont know that Id buy this one again, but Im not terribly dissatisfied either.

  Brakes, check engine - 2007 Dodge Caliber
  By BC - November 3 - 7:26 pm

  1 of only a few manual Calibers. Had to return to dealer many times 5+ for check engine light. Bad software which was a big topic in Detroit as #2 o2 sensor was slow to respond. Finally have that fixed and brake rotors are severely warped. Sorry, warranty only good to 12000 miles. Hope some aftermarket co. soon makes good rotors!

  I have owned better - 2007 Dodge Caliber
  By Tom from NJ - August 12 - 4:03 am

  I purchased this as a daily commuter vehicle averaging about 100 miles round trip. The interior was making noise from the vibration upon acceleration. I applied clear silicone to where the plastic touched metal and this seemed to stop. The car is not insulated very well and the cabin is very noisy at highway speeds. The pickup is horrible. I expected more from the 177 HP engine. The gas gauge is screwy and no where near accurate. When the light goes on you better get gas quick! Although there were plenty of places to put things it seemed as though I never had enough room. I traded this car in @ 22K miles.

  Dont buy this for the gas mileage - 2007 Dodge Caliber
  By Beep Beep - March 24 - 2:26 pm

  Just wanted to let everyone know that this is a nice little car. I would definitely not rate it as high as most of the people below but for the price its very nice. I drive a lot of miles and get around 25 mpg no matter how I drive. I tried for 2 weeks to drive slow and see what my mpg would be and it was slightly over 26. I would also suggest to stay away from the dark colors, I got black , it has a white under coat and the scratches really jump out. Over all its a nice little car for the price.

  Been a mess to own... - 2007 Dodge Caliber
  By Jessica - February 1 - 3:36 am

  This car has been a mess to own. My parents originally owned the car and had to pour almost $3000 in the last 3 years into this poor thing. Weve replaced a good 3 or 4 batteries, a piston malfunctioned and cracked the cam shaft (that was 1500 right there), electronic throttle control went out (and its also starting to go out AGAIN), and a few other small things here and there. Now at the age of 18 I purchased the car from them so I could have it for college. Now im terrified to drive it. Ive had a few times where the car wont even start because the electronic throttle control is acting up again, and when its not doing that the car really struggles to turn on sometimes. Acceleration is not too great either. I understand that its not a huge truck and it doesnt have a huge engine, but its still pretty wimpy. Now the car is starting to make creaking sounds ALL the time, and with it being this car im not too surprised its happening. The car is definitely comfy, has a nice interior, and gets great gas mileage...but I would never ever recommend anyone buy this car. It is not reliable. Im looking to trade it in for a Toyota 4Runner ASAP.

  could have been really great - 2007 Dodge Caliber
  By eurocarfan - January 7 - 9:50 pm

  Dodge had soo much potential with this vehicle...but they messed up. Literally the cheapest interior I have ever seen. Engine is underpowered, but keep in mind that it does compete with the likes of Fit/Yaris/Aveo in its most basic trim like mine. This vehicle rattles, squeaks, and just doesnt have a good personality. The CVT is a nice change of pace for this class. Overall, if youre looking for a compact hatchback, Mazda3 and Subaru Impreza 5-doors will definately be far superior vehicles. The subaru costs almost the same, has STANDARD stability control, better safety, far more power, and of course the best AWD system. Impreza 5-dr vs. Caliber? the Subies a K.O. all the way
