I wish I would have bought something else. The gas mileage is terrible for this size car. I get about 24-28 mpg when the information I had said 33 mpg. I have only 36,500 miles on it and it has a terrible suspension noise and will need to go in shop next week. I have already told several people who asked me if I liked this car "DO NOT BUY THIS CAR. The seating is comfortable for me but the interior is very awkward in its layout, everything is very tight. The car is OK for its exterior styling but the sheet metal is very thin. If you close the door with the window open it feels like the door is going to ripe off the hinges The CVT transmission makes odd sounds in slow traffic.
Great car!

I have had my car for just over a year and it has AMAZING gas mileage! Even in the city i was getting anywhere from 25-28 MPG. Even got 30 MPG in the mountains! Going from a vehicle with 18 MPG freeway to this is SO nice. The back is roomy and fits a ton! Its a quiet ride and smooth and has some giddy up and go to it for a small engine.

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 selected the Caliber SXT a/t w/2.0 CVT. I drove 4 models over two months. The total rebates motivated me to buy, plus my shiny Red Caliber was a minimum of 20% less compared to competitors model's which would have fit my wants and needs. It has plenty of power for my mountainous terrain. It's quick enough to pass others safely on two lane roads. At 25 to 45 it provides a comfortable stress free ride. It's smooth, even "cushy." Same applies when driving at 70 mph on busy interstate highways. It fits a lot of gear: boxes, cases, stuff, amps, guitars, keyboards, drums, even an upright bass! My wife also likes driving it.
Way Cooler Than a Minivan!

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.
