Used 2007 Dodge Caliber Consumer Reviews
Love my first Dodge
I am a Volvo man - have owned 7 over the years (still own a 1994 940. I recently bought my first Dodge and am extremely happy with it. The reason I looked at the Caliber is I am a wheelchair user (manual, non-folding ultralight weight) and I have found that most new cars on the market are either too small to hold my wheelchair (without taking it apart), are huge gas guzzlers, or are too expensive for my budget. The Caliber will hold my wheelchair, gets great gas mileage, and is one of the least expensive new cars I have ever bought. It totally satisfies my requirements, is fun to drive and the dealer/service department is excellent. I highly recommend this vehicle.
dodge death trap
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.

Would not buy another one
First inspection it would not pass. The tie rod was bad on less than 21000 miles. Tires worn out at 30000 and the noise and clunks from the rear. Now the transmission decided to quit working and no one has a clue. It's either 325 for some part or 3500 for transmission at 70000 miles I put over 250000 on a Toyota pu. I'm going back to Toyota.
Can't get outta it's own way!
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.
The Little Monster
Ok so about a year and a half ago I traded in my Subie for a 2003 Liberty. It was fun but not roomy. A month ago I traded that for an 07 Caliber. Let me tell you, this is the best little big car I've ever owned. More leg and head room than the Jeep and that comes from someone thats 6'4". Brakes well and corners flawlessly. Acceleration is a little to be desired but hey, I get almost 400 miles to the tank! Thats perfect considering I manage to average 15000 to 20000 in a years time. I love my Little Monster (if only I got Sunburst Orange).
