2007 Dodge Caliber SXT 4dr Wagon (1.8L 4cyl 5M)
Review
I traded in an SUV that I LOVED for this thing. It has a very weak AC. There is a drink "cooler" in the glove box that is cooled by the AC. Pretty pointless if the AC doesn't even get cold. You'd be better off taking your cold drink and rubbing it on your face because that is the only way you will cool off in this car. The interior is too cramped and there are blind spots everywhere I look. I hate driving this car.
Favorite Features
At least it looks good on the outside.
Suggested Improvements
Put in an AC that actually works.

Review
Bought my caliber Aug 2006. Was so excited I actually got one! Now I wish I had just walked away. Already replaced both outer tie rods, both struts, lower control arms blew and now the engine is dead. I am trading this in, taking a loss and getting a Honda. This was the worst mistake ever.

Review
Before I purchased this vehicle I drove the matrix and other comparable vehicles also I compared them for saftey and found that caliber was by far the best buy, now that I've owned it for 3 years and have friends that have over 100,000 miles with no problems, I'm convinced that my next vehicle will be another caliber I like the hard quality interior it stands up much better then the soft plastic. All about the car gives it high rating in my books. and unlike the others I feel safer driving it. I'm glad I didn't listen to the so-called experts that judge a vehicle for interior trim.

Remove the cupholder out of the rear seat compartment and take the hump out of the floor.

2007 Dodge Caliber SXT 4dr Wagon (1.8L 4cyl 5M)
Review
I traded in a very nice 2004 Jeep Liberty for this thing, I got it out of the showroom. (GOD I wish it were back in there.) I've had it at the dealership for fuel smell in the car while driving. They say they can't find anything wrong with it, my husbands a mechanic he says their crazy, but it's under warranty so they should fix it. I've had to have it lined up because it eats tires up on the inside, and I'm fixing to replace tires for the 2nd time, it only has 31,000 miles on it. I really wish I could trade it in, but the Dodge place only offered me $9,000 for it and it is in excellent shape, they know the cars are junk.

cool zone, lighted cup holders, a/c outlet

2007 Dodge Caliber SXT 4dr Wagon (1.8L 4cyl 5M)
Review
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. I'm 6'5" and my right knee is always rubbing against the center console. Blind spots are bad.
Favorite Features
Fuel Economy in the city is amazing. I've used the built-in flashlight a few times camping. Beer fridge is cool too. Reliability.
Suggested Improvements
Interior dash and door skins look and feel really cheap. Like Mattel farmed it out to Mongolians cause China wasn't cheap enough. Very loud inside when at highway speeds. Seat needs a down adjustment for taller people.

Review
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.
Favorite Features
Body style, hatchback is roomy.Great interior space.Cool interior design.
Suggested Improvements
Smoother transmission w/CVT &/or automatic.More horsepower on standard models.Black primer under black paint (scratches are easy to see on mine b/c the primer is white & the car is black!).

2007 Dodge Caliber R/T 4dr Wagon AWD (2.4L 4cyl CVT)
Review
I own a 2007 Dodge Caliber R/T AWD. This is the baddest gas guzzler yet of the Caliber models. I swear I get 15 miles a gallon w/ it. The window ticket claims 32 highway miles a gallon...yeah right. If I pull out into traffic I am so afraid I'll get T-Boned cause it doesn't GO! It goes when it wants too. I blow threw tires like mad! On my third set in 2, yes I sad 2 years. Dealership wouldn't even see if there was anything wrong w/ the car. Blamed it on on the tires. "It's the tires, NOT the car." Gimme a break already. Now I'm at 46K and my warranty is up, but I got the 3 year extended that Chrysler has no info on!!! I'll never by another dodge.
Favorite Features
The "PLASTIC" Rims?? Heck no! Had then replaced once already. I like the sunroof...wait scratch that. That was warranty fixed and hasn't been the same since. Maybe the speakers? Nope replaced also and still sounds scrathy. The only thing I like is the color. ORANGE.
Suggested Improvements
Car needs a small 6 cylinder for the AWD cause 2.4 just doesn't cut it. It's going to cause an accident one day.
I'm Keeping this one forever!!!

Review
After reading all the other reviews, I can't believe how lucky I've been with my car. In fact, I'm retiring in 6 years and plan on keeping this car for my retirement car. I've had over 20 cars in the past (sports cars too) but really put this one close to the top. We had 48 inches of snow on the ground last year, and I never once had a problem with driving! Handles great-- and this is on snowy, curvy country roads. Chrysler offers a Lifetime Warranty now (if you have the lifetime powertrain) and I'm in the process of purchasing that--just in case. The only thing I've had go wrong, is the signal switch broke last week and it had to be replaced. Not bad for 410000 miles!
Favorite Features
Love the space in the cargo area-- great "garage sale" car. Seats are comfortable--my back doesn't get sore on those long trips. Really enjoyed the flip down speakers last month at our family reunion--played music all night!
Suggested Improvements
Hate the plastic wheel covers-- especially when I paid "extra" for the fancy wheels and didn't find out until I got it home that they were actually "covers" and not chrome wheels. Don't like to fold down the seats because the seat belt fasteners crease the leather, I have to wrap a towel around them

Review
My 07Caliber kicks like a bronco when it changes gears, metal plates break from the bottom, my cup holders randomly don't light up, I've have to replace the struts, springs, tierods, rotors, brakes, tires...I personally would not recommend this car. My car now has 46K and not covered under the warranty anymore.
