Used 2008 Dodge Caliber SXT 4dr Wagon (1.8L 4cyl 5M) Consumer Reviews
Good Vehicle for the Price
I recently purchased a 2008 Dodge Caliber to help me with my new career. I went from working for a Dodge dealer to an outside salesman with a differant company. I bought the car because I new the data about the vehicle and so far am very impressed with it. I put about 3,000 miles a month on and have averaged between 29 to 34 mpg. I have owned Jeeps for most of my life but with this new job I needed fuel milage and the Caliber did not sit low to the ground like a car which was really appealing to me.
trouble starting
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
It is what it is, I guess...
OK I'll start by saying impulse buy. This was my 4th Mopar product, and sorry my last. I bought this car, and really don't know why in the end. From the plastic interior, satellite radio with no info display, to the awful road noise. I do like the Sunroof, and Yes Essential seats. The CVT seems to work well, corners OK, but in all a massive let down. I swallowed the loss and traded another vehicle off to cover some of the loss to purchase a Pontiac Torrent. Sorry this car is great if you really enjoyed the Neon I guess. Dodge has dropped quality so far, its just sad. I am so happy with Torrent, sorry Dodge Caliber just needs to many improvements, glorified Neon for sure. Look around first!
Wish I never bought Caliber!
I bought my caliber in December of 07, since then, I've had to replace my gas gauge (and it's still messed up), my tire pressure light goes on and off whenever if wants, MY BRAKES are horrible! dodge won't do anything about it, they squeak, they get stuck, and it makes the car shake when I brake. Dodge uses cheap materials to make their cars. If I could go back I would definitely not have even looked into this car.
Great Value/Design
We looked at several hatchback models, and for the price, none can compare. VERY SATISFIED!!!
