Bought my 2009 Dodge caliper sxt around winter of 2017. Loved it when I bought it, couple stains on the interior but nothing to bad, could have some more comfortable everything on the inside haha, biggest complaint I would have to say is the transmission(keep reading) I drove to Saginaw mi and about 40 min into driving my transmission over heat came on( horrible trip cuz of this) made it home and thought I was screwed, so I talked to a friend and he is GREAT I bought a transmission cooler for about $37 on eBay and bought new transmission fluid and had my buddy to all of this, well it was around $450. I ended up driving to Lansing which is about hr and 30 min drive and IT WORKED GREAT!!!! I had absolutely no issues there or back. Was so happy and I recently took a trip to Sandusky Ohio (2hr 30min drive) NO problems again. If you have this same issue PLEASE!!!! PLEASEEEE! Give this a try it worked wonders for me and I’ve seen NOTHING online about this “fix” I have currently 124,000 miles on my car and it happened around 121,000.

I've owned my Caliber for a year now and my husband and I have been very pleased with it. After driving a Chevy Venture for 10 years, I was really excited to have something sportier and I have not been disappointed. This car is fun to drive and and it looks great. I still get a lot of compliments on it. The controls are easy to use, it handles well and has been completely reliable.
Best car for the money

Lee Iacocca said it best many years ago - "if you can find a better car - buy it". This car is one of the best cars I have found for day to day driving. It has everything you need and even some extras. This car has it all over the Ford Escort wagon that I traded in for the Caliber. I have been a design engineer for many years, so I feel that I can say with some authority, that this car is a good solid machine with no serious design flaws. It will last for many years in daily driving with very few problems (no - I don't work for an auto company!). This is the first "small" car that I have seen with midsize car seating room and comfort.
Love my new Caliber

I've only had this about a month but it is the first vehicle I truly love! I love sitting higher and the comfortable seats. Great ride. Gas mileage is good. Bought the lifetime warrenty so I feel safe for the long term.
1st new car

Cash for Clunkers was a huge help. I got rid of my 90 Ford Aerostar, just in time. The first week I had it I loaded it up and drove my oldest to college, after a year of ownership I have dealt with a couple huge snow storms, at one point I had driven into snow so deep that from the windshield forward was under snow, I dug out the front wheels and backed right out. The daily driving is fun I travel back roads to work that have hills and turns and this little 5-speed with a 1.8l engine sticks to the road and is quite fun. I love the features, and it is a great car.
