I recently spent a week up in Conn. visiting family and friends. While there, I rented a '07 Dodge Caliber SE ! Last year, I visited Las Vegas and had one for a week. So, I feel that is enough experience to have factual data for an ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 50 Recommended: Yes
Pros: The vehicle handles great, rides great,and is relatively economical at today's gas prices.
Cons: Tire noise is unbearable if you have one of the rear passenger windows down.
The Bottom Line: I would recommend this vehicle to anyone that wants a great vehicle that looks great, runs great and is economical.
Driving the Dodge Caliber is certainly a life change for me. I had driven a Ford Ranger for 15 years and hated parting with it, but it was time. Being a cheap person I bought an older used vehicle that promptly broke down (in a major way) 8 months later. ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 50 Recommended: Yes
Pros: Great handling, 6 speed is great in controlling speed when AWD needed.
Cons: Tires, air filters, etc. are not a the 'consumer' level yet, (in 4/2008).
The Bottom Line: A fun, solid and fast car that makes a drive and the traffic more interesting than plodding along in the right lane.
I have a large 'fleet' of used cars, with teenagers and a working spouse, and didn't need the eight seats anymore with a retired Durango in the yard, so traded the Suburban in for a 2007 R/T Caliber last December (2007). The AWD Caliber with a CVT ... read more

Pros: Great city and highway gas mileage, plenty of room, rides very smooth, great features.
Cons: The back window gets dirty really fast and holds dirt.
The Bottom Line: I would definitely recommend this car to anyone because it is a very cheap car to operate and is affordable.
I made a huge change when me and my husband decided to purchase this car. I had a Mazda RX8 and needed something with a little more room. We had decided to have children and knew that the Mazda would not cut it. We test drove several vehicles of the ... read more

The Bottom Line: Fun car. advise to look into the TSB's (Check out caliberforum.com)
SXT 2.0L basic car with moon/sunroof First let me start by saying, I wasn't sure I wanted this car when I first test drove it because of the visibility. I wanted an SUV but didn't want to have high car pmts that follow, and I didn't want the low ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 50 Recommended: Yes
Pros: Affordable, Safe, Stylish
Cons: Seats arent comfortable, Only seats 4 (comfortably)
The Bottom Line: Compared to other suv/cross-overs in the price range, this was by far the most stylish, comfortable, driveable one!
When my Isuzu Rodeo started going out in the summer of 2006, I started looking for a replacement vehicle. I'm in my mid-20's so I didn't want a sedan or large suv, but rather something that mixed the two. I didn't know much about Dodge but really liked ... read more

When I purchased my 2007 Chevrolet Equinox I had to take it in to the dealer so that they could install some new rims that I had upgraded to when I purchased it. They weren’t ready at the time of purchase. I had to drive around a 2007 Dodge Caliber for ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 40 Recommended: Yes
Pros: The sound system rocks, flashlight in back, reclining back sets.
Cons: The cool zone was a let down, blind spots in back corners.
The Bottom Line: I would recommend this car to anyone looking for a small SUV type car.
I love the "little ram" look of the Caliber. I wanted to get a new SUV but didn't like the gas millage or the size I was finding. Then I saw the Caliber on a billboard, of all places, and went to check it out at our local dealer. My only complaints ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 50 Recommended: Yes
Pros: Great handling, wonderful sound system, perfectly built. Plenty of options to suit your needs.
Cons: Could use some small improvements, but nothing major.
The Bottom Line: It has very few shortcomings, and nothing about it makes me doubt my purchase in the slightest. My Caliber is great, and I highly recommend it.
I bought a 2007 Dodge Caliber R/T AWD 2.4L this summer, and I have to say I'm very happy with my purchase. I went on a long road trip last weekend and realized that I only had a few small complaints about the Caliber, and they're all very minor. ... read more

Pros: Reasonable seating for 5 in a pinch
Cons: Noisy, Noisy, Noisy. Everything else is mediocre or less.
The Bottom Line: I would never buy this vehicle and if it were given to me, I'd sell it and buy something else.
First some background information. I made a reservations for a compact rental car for 4 days in Seattle, WA. Upon arrival the rental company upgraded me at no charge to a larger vehicle, a Dodge Caliber Hatchback. They told me it was a 5-door ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 50 Recommended: Yes
Pros: Cool to drive and look at. Comfort, Price, Fuel Economy, Roomy, Safety, Seats 5.
Cons: AC is optional (need it), Sportier models are over the top.
The Bottom Line: Give this car a try, if you are trying the Matrix, Forester, Outback, or Vibe. I'm really glad I did.
I had always wanted a VW, but VW isn't making cars for me at this point in my life 30's with 3 kids. They've traded MPG for Horsepower, and seem to be trying to be like Audis. If I wanted an Audi, I'd buy an Audi. Too many options I don't want on them, ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 40 Recommended: Yes
Pros: Affordable, fun to drive, just north of pragmatic, well-made.
Cons: Not many bells and whistles to entertain gadget-junkies.
The Bottom Line: In a time of tightening finances, overcrowded roadways, and soaring crude, the 2007 Dodge Caliber is as smart a purchase as you can make.

The Bottom Line: I love this car from inside to out. It is fun to drive and extremely economical.
Last week, after a lengthy consideration period, I purchased a new car - that car happened to be the 2007 Dodge Caliber. I was very skeptical about this "crossover" vehicle at first, but eventually gave it a chance. I'm certainly glad I did. Before I ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 20 Recommended: No
Pros: Aggressive exterior looks, gas mileage, storage space, price
Cons: Sub par engine performance, interior fit and finish, blind spots the size of Texas
The Bottom Line: Good looks but go for the bigger engine. The base one is simply too underpowered for a vehicle of this size.
This is my first automotive review. Most of my reviews to date have been on kitchen gadgets or camping gear but I had an opportunity to drive a 2007 Caliber and I wanted to put in my impressions. It was determined last week that I was needed in our ... read more

In the small car market, the Dodge Neon had marginal success, but never lived up to its initial expectations. When it arrived in the mid 1990's, there was much pomp and circumstance, but it could not compete with vehicles such as the Toyota ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 40 Recommended: Yes
Pros: Styling, Front Seats, Gauges, Fun To Drive
Cons: Styling, Road Noise, AC Vents
The Bottom Line: A "value" contender in the small sedan catagory. Nice size, nicely appointed, reasonable performance and decent gas mileage. 3.85 out of five stars. (No change for 2010).
Rented a Caliber for a ten day trip to the Phoenix area in February. Logged over 1100 miles on freeways, mountain roads (including some unpaved), and local streets in the burbs in 30-80 degree temps and was generally impressed. Not being in the market ... read more
