2008 Dodge Caliber SRT4 4dr Wagon (2.4L 4cyl Turbo 6M)
- Review
-
I have owned this car for less than 5 months. I would have to say that it is reliable for a now considering that I just drive to and from work. Recently, I had to take it in for the interior shaking and at 2500 rpms it sounds like it is going to blow. Poor blind spots. Very roomy though.
- Favorite Features
-
Cirrus radio, light in the cup holders, phone holder plug in for home charger refridge
- Suggested Improvements
-
Eliminate blindspots

2008 Dodge Caliber SXT 4dr Wagon (1.8L 4cyl 5M)
- Review

I bought an 08 Dodge caliber sept. 07 and ever since it's been nothing but trouble! I have had shorts in my speakers and problems starting the car, it's been in the shop several times for this problem and now Dodge is avoiding me because they don't want to deal with the problems they sold to me. Is there anyone else having this problem or any suggestions on what to do I'm so frustrated and don't know what to do anymore! If you're looking to get a caliber they're nice but I strongly recommend you do not get one and look into something else

I just bought my 2008 Dodge Caliber April 28,2008 and I will tell you this car is the smoothest car I have ever driven in. Seating is very comfortable I drove 40 miles and my gas needle didn't budge at all wow! This car is great very roomy in the front kind of tight in the back but hey I'm happy with it though.
- Favorite Features
-
Cooler on top of dashboard, ride quality, great stereo system, excellent gas mileage!

Needs Avenger v6 as a option. rear seat room!

2008 Dodge Caliber R/T 4dr Wagon AWD (2.4L 4cyl CVT)
- Review
-
This car is ok for a daily commuter car or first car for a new driver. It's poky to say the least, and the CVT is probably the worst drivetrain combo. It will rev to 3-4k and feel like you're crawling to cruising speed. Just don't plan on spinning the 18" tires anytime. The interior is cheap and hard. Extremely hard plastic is everywhere, but the car remains quiet so far. The radio and air work well, but the air cabin cleaner does little if anything noticeable. One major problem is the styling on the exterior, trying to keep it clean. The fender flares look aggressive but do little more than make the doors a magnet for road tar, grime, and rock nicks. Good car with a great warrant
- Favorite Features
-
Interior lighting, cooler in glove box.
- Suggested Improvements
-
New tranny ASAP, better interior plastic, remove shifting box notch that rubs knee, better design of wheel flares to protect body.

2008 Dodge Caliber SE 4dr Wagon (1.8L 4cyl 5M)
- Review

I like my caliber very much. Lots of room in the front, back has as much room as larger cars. Firm secure ride-- takes bumps well, seats are comfortable, and sit high. great gas mileage, good pick-up. Would buy this car again-no problem.
- Favorite Features
-
Looks, radio, seat comfort, easy to reach controls, head room, steering.
- Suggested Improvements
-
Faster pick-up, little bit more room in hatchback

2008 Dodge Caliber R/T 4dr Wagon AWD (2.4L 4cyl CVT)
- Review
-
I read the reviews AFTER I decided to buy the R/T AWD. I love my Caliber. It has a lot of zip, is extremely comfortable, and I enjoy driving it. I traded my second vehicle, a Corvette, in on this economical one. I average 23-25 around town and 24-25 on the highway. I have the Pebble/Sand interior and Inferno Red ext, with sun roof, Boston sound and Sirius. For about $21k, I am impressed! Adding the upgrades and going to the 2.4L AWD probably made a big difference on the other ratings. The lifetime warranty on the drivetrain is also a big plus. I'm still learning about the car. Oh, the back seat is larger than my Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo!!
- Favorite Features
-
Interior color, Sirius, sound system, sunroof, heated seats, comfort with driving.
- Suggested Improvements
-
Telescopic steering wheel; needed better packing in sides of vehicle to handle subwoofer and sound system. I get a little vibration on the driver's side from the interior door trim, during high base songs.

2008 Dodge Caliber SE 4dr Wagon (1.8L 4cyl 5M)
- Review
-
I originally drove a Mazda 3i Touring and then I test drove an 08' HHR. My Mazda was a light car and the HHR had no oomph. We by chance test drove the Caliber and fell in love with this car. The dealership gave me an excellent trade deal and they also gave my girlfriend and awesome trade on her car. So we bought to. The actually got the SE PLUS version. Power everything, Keyless entry, 17" rims and much much more. Overall this car handles great and I don't have any blind spots with this car. Though other reviews said they had blinds pots. The motor is great because you don't feel it shift. We love our Calibers.
- Favorite Features
-
Illuminated Cup Holders, Chill Zone, Instrument Cluster, SIRIUS Radio (free one year), space
- Suggested Improvements
-
The only thing we didn't see in the Caliber is roof handles for passengers and front roof lights. You have to turn the front and rear light on with the light cluster stick located on the steering module.

2008 Dodge Caliber SE 4dr Wagon (1.8L 4cyl 5M)
- Review
-
The caliber is a fun car to drive. I'm still getting used to the CVT instead of a transmission. The body style really impresses me, it's like a wannabe Magnum on a Geo budget. So far I'm well pleased with the decision to buy it. Like a lot of people have said, it is loud on the road. Dodge would do well to correct that fault. I highly recommend the caliber to small families and commuters, a lot of value for the price.

Body style and the tight road performance

Ok, it's a petty complaint but... The $100 dealer package floor mats are a great ripoff. Save that money and get a set of custom mud mats from an after market store or online.

2008 Dodge Caliber SE 4dr Wagon (1.8L 4cyl 5M)
- Review

We did the internet search and looked at every make and model out there. I drive 100 miles to and home from work everyday. I wanted something that made me feel safe and could handle the weather and make the drive itself fun. This was the first car we test drove. And it was the one we compared everything else against. We got ours in Sunburst Orange. It drives like a dream. Be careful on the highway. Ours rides so smoothly you do not realize how fast your really going. I don't mind the interior... Plastic? My '94 Shadow had more... It held up and didn't crack. (This is the replacement for the Shadow) I hope this car lasts as long!

Don't know where to start... We have the basic radio with 4 speakers... it sure don't sound like the bottom system!!! Mp3 player holder. Movable arm rest? Cabin and seating make it seem like a much larger vehicle. Seats are comfy for those long trips! I already have 3,050 miles in 29 days.

My fiance fell in love with the SRT/4 model with the hood Scoop. Have a "Sport" look that you can get across all the models! That hood scoop would sell it on the look alone! I actually asked the dealer if we could swap the hood! =)
