2007 Dodge Caliber SXT 4dr Wagon (1.8L 4cyl 5M)

Review

Just traded in a great 1998 Subaru Outback for a pristine 2007 Caliber with only 7000 miles on it! I love it. Spacious, comfortable, and the best looking wagon-style you can get in this price range. Really love the way it handles, the CTV is cool. Needed the 2nd row and cargo space for my gourmet foods company, plenty of space for a 6 foot table and pop up tent for Farmer's Markets. My 120 pound Chesapeake Bay Retriever loves that the back windows roll all the way down. My friends are jealous. :)

Favorite Features

Light up cup holders, cooler in glove box (what?!), height adjustment on front seat, great A/C, plenty of space to store business stuff up front where it's accessible, and the interior look.

Suggested Improvements

I bought it used, so I can't complain, but it would be nice to have AWD here in Colorado. But it's nothing a pair of snow tires can't fix!

Review

After seeing ads on TV for new Dodge Calibers, we (wife and I) decided to go check them out. They offered good fuel mileage(we routinely get high 20s), plenty of cargo space, and good looks. We have just passed 45,000 miles on our Caliber, and we are very happy with our purchase. First set of tires (Firestone) were just replaced with better riding (General Altimax HP), although I could have gotten a few thousand more miles from the originals. Other than new tires and occasional oil/filter changes(5,000 miles), car has not had any problems at all. Still looks good,and performs like new. Very reliable car. Only complaint is that armrests are hard and uncortable. Overall,very happy!

Favorite Features

Easy entry/exit. Fold down rear seats for very large cargo hauling. Good fuel mileage. Beverage cooling compartment. Great looks.

Suggested Improvements

Reposition and pad armrests.

2007 Dodge Caliber R/T 4dr Wagon AWD (2.4L 4cyl CVT)

Review

We bought the car brand new, looked cool and had good gas mileage. With in the first 30k miles, we had to replace tires, we are still buying tires way to often. We also have a tapping sound that the repair shop can not figure out. After 2 years the paint started to flake off and the trim is pealing. Car looks cool but that is where it ends.

Favorite Features

Body style looks cool.

Suggested Improvements

Reliability needs improvement, stop destroying the tires. The tires on this car are not cheap either.

Review

We purchased this car in december of 2006 right off of the showroom floor. It now has 31,000 miles on it and has been 100% trouble free. The car is very reliable and is fun to drive and the boston acoustics sound system with subwoofer sounds awesome! We are very pleased with this car! We even took this car up the four peaks mountain road and it worked great.

Favorite Features

Stereo, Ipod holder, folding passenger seat

Review

We just bought used 2007 dodge caliber SXT and love it so far. The only thing is that we can't seem to find the drivers seat height adjustment. The car came without a owners manual. Currently my husbands head sticks out the sunroof somewhat.:) Can anyone help us to locate where it might be??

Favorite Features

We love the chill zone in the glove box. It has very tight steering, and feels/looks very sporty.

Suggested Improvements

To early to tell for us.

Review

I purchased a dodge caliber used with only 19,000 miles in Feb. 2008. In June 2008 i noticed my car makeing a knocking noise when accelerateing or slowing down at this time the car only had 33,000 miles on it so it was still covered under warranty. So I took it to a dodge dealer here in this area and they checked it out and told me there was nothing wrong with it. I didn't agree so i took it to another dodge dealer the next week and they said nothing was wrong with it. So i gave up and of course the warranty went out and it is still making that noise well i took it to another mechnic and he told me that it was the transmission. And I'm a single mother and i cant afford $2500 to fix it!

Review

I bought the car brand new. I regret this purchase everyday. Since it's purchase I have had nothing but problem. It's needed new struts, tie- rod ends, has electrical issues, tires are shot after 20,000 miles, and at 30,000 the starter and relay is bad! This is just a bad car!!! If it would do me any good....I'd park it right in front of the bank!! No need for the repo man....I'm giving this one a special delivery!! Big ticket item with BIG PROBLEMS! Dodge went wrong on this one!

Favorite Features

I have to admit that from stylish look of the interior and exterior there was something good started here. Nice interior features. Some may be excessive (like the built in fridge) but overall its comfortable and nice...if you can get passed all the problems this car has.

Suggested Improvements

Start all over with this one!!

Review

I bought this car from enterprise. After the 1st week i needed a new transmission.(miles 34,000) 2 weeks later i need another transmission. Now i need a new engine because some rod broke. Worst car ever. Engine stalls when im on the highway. I bought it for $12,000. I tried to sell it back to enterprise and they will only give me $5,000. They said the Cailber doesn't hold its value. So after 2 months it lost $7,000.00. Im stuck with it. I should have bought the charger!!!! STAY CLEAR FROM THIS CAR!! DO NOT BUY!!!

Favorite Features

Sound system

Suggested Improvements

Get a transmission that actually shifts gears. Not some BS transmission.
