  • Like it a lot - 2007 Dodge Caliber
    By -

    I like to drive it a lot, town mostly, but have had it on the highway for some 260 miles. Rides nice for me. Got it for graduation and its fun to drive. Looks good, my friends like it to. Has it all, and Im loning it.

  • Good Car... not for tall people. - 2007 Dodge Caliber

    2007 Caliber SXT 2.0L w CVT. Currently at 83000 KM or 52000 Miles. Very reliable .. only repair was a lower control arm which had to be replaced (apparently common cause dealer had 7 in stock Drivers side only) Car interior is not designed for anyone 6 ft or taller. Im 65" and my right knee is always rubbing against the center console. Blind spots are bad.

  • The middle of the road SXT. - 2007 Dodge Caliber

    The interior is very thoughtfully designed and of good quality materials (thanks MB). I traded in a 2001 Volvo V70 on this and am happy with the exchange. I cant comment on reliability yet, but have high hopes. I have the CVT and must point out that many people hate them, thinking theyre sluggish. They take an entirely different behavior to drive properly, first and foremost being: do NOT feather the gas! It gives decent acceleration performance once you understand its behavior. My only complaints are some wind noise above 35 and the seat is a bit high for me - Im 67", so anyone can fit in this.

  • Irritating Problems - 2007 Dodge Caliber
    By -

    I traded in a Dodge Dakota V8 to save on fuel costs. The Caliber has comfortable seating compared to other smaller cars. It has a smooth ride. The second day of driving I noticed a high pitched ringing noise. This appears to be the high pressure fuel pump. The dealer and Chrysler refuse to acknowledge it is a problem and refused to replace the pump. I dont think I should hear the fuel pump operating inside the vehicle. It did not make that sound when I took delivery but started 100 miles later. It is very annoying unless you listen to loud music that drowns out the sound.

  • I love my Caliber - 2007 Dodge Caliber

    I was seriously considered getting the Caliber as a second vehicle when my Sebring made the decision for me to make it my primary! I was looking for an AWD vehicle that wasnt too station wagon or SUV like. For a compact car and Dodges low end vehicle, I think it is quite nice. Quite honestly, I needed something bigger and more practical than a convertible. Cant find a thing I dont like about it.

  • Simple, Sexy and Stylist = Caliber - 2007 Dodge Caliber
    By -

    We spend a great deal of travel time in the car; to and from work, family matters, and or just in weekend pleasure. Choosing the purchase of car we drive says a great deal about you. Im impressed with the Calibers simple, yet sexy exterior body form. Its unique design is so smoothly unisex the owners gender is undetectable. The interior also stately designed to feed, masculine and feminine egos, ample room, big instrument knobs and easy manipulations. Very smooth and "jumpy" in a good way ride. Accelaration - oookay, could be better. Worth the asking price when compared to other vehicles in like categories. Enjoying my ride

    I cant believe how many Dodge Calibers Ive seen on the road already. Its fun to drive and the styling sure turns heads. Sure the price is right, but many corners seemed to have been cut to achive the price point. There have been so many fit and finish problems and kinks to work out, that my first Dodge may be my last.

  • Your personal "rental car" - 2007 Dodge Caliber
    By -

    Waited almost 3 months for delivery. Nice exterior styling, looks like a poor-mans X3. Interior styling is generally good too but quality of plastic is visibly poor. Does not have a lockable compartment to keep personal belongings. Ride is generally good, even at 80 mph on Jersey turnpikes. Acceleration is quite sluggish, probably due to CVT. Very easy to bump transmission into semi-manual mode accidentally. Visibility front and back is rather poor. Have to sit high to get good view in front which leads to reduced headroom. UConnect and trip computer both work quite well. Feels like driving a rental (based on years of biz travel experience) but great for daily commute, especially in bad weather.

    Downgraded from A4 looking for more room and better gas mileage for under $20k. Definitely a nice amount of room to work with considering the overall size of the package. Gas mileage doesnt impress, but solid mid-to-high 20s in mostly highway driving. Ive put almost 8k miles in about 4 months and havent had a problem. I do miss the AWD, though.

  • Great Car with 1st Year Bugs - 2007 Dodge Caliber
    By -

    My wife and I absolutly love this car. We have had a few small problems. They had to change a wiring harness and fix the exhaust (rattle). We have the 2.0 CVT SXT Sport which is kind of strange at first since it does not switch gears but once you get use to it its great. Due to this being a new car the dealerships do not have parts in inventory so we had to bring it in 5 times. Other then the little bugs and inconvienience of bringing it in 5 times I would recomend this car to anyone.
