Sporty little car
My son was involved in a hit and run accident in January, so I wanted him to have a safer, more dependable car. We purchased our Caliber 3 months ago. He loves the car, however, we have had some problems with the engine. While driving the car, the oil light will come on and start to flash, and then the car will completely die on him. The dealership can't find the problem.
Your personal "rental car"
Waited almost 3 months for delivery. Nice exterior styling, looks like a poor-man's 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.

Great Car
Took the car upstate New York on vacation with only 1800mi on it. Put 1600 mi on trip. Handles great and got 32.5 mpg. Dash light over tach goes out when cold outside. Other than that it's been great. Currently have 8200 mi.I
Excellent Value
I have had the SXT model with a 2.4L 4- CYL with CVT for a month now and I love it! It's a solid, all-around car. For the money, it's a fantastic value! Some folks will point out that it doesn't perform as well as some of the other "hot hatches" but unless you're going R/T, you're not buying this to blow people off the road! It's got great cargo space, well thought out features, decent gas mileage, performs well in slippery conditions and snow. Infinity Stereo is great! Yeah, Dodge went a bit overboard on the Interior Plastic but hey, it's durable. Love the Exterior Styling and it is very quiet. Also, is it a coincidence that Toyota is trumpeting the new Venza? Looks a LOT like the Caliber!
Money Pit- Factory Rip off
The transmission on my 2007 Caliber (90,000 miles)had a bad transmission solenoid - I research repair with transmission shops and dealers and found out that Dodge Chrysler does not provide the repair shops or the dealers with parts, except for a "factory rebuilt" transmission for $3,800.00. It's take it or push it off of our lot... this should have been an $800 repair or a rebulit transmission for approx $1,700 at worst. The dealer "Tempe Dodge, AZ did a sloppy job and it had to go back for another 2 days, for them to figure out where they went wrong...After owning Dodges for 28 years, this will be the last Dodge we will ever own...
