Cushy Riding Sleek Best Deal

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.
There are better hatches

I have now had the displeasure of driving the Caliber. This is not a bad car compared to garbage made in the 1980s, but is far inferior to a lot of hatches on the market. This car drives like a brick. If you get a good deal, then I could see this being a decent commuter car if you only drive on the highway. If you like to drive, find something else. My personal affordable favorite hatches are the Hyundai Elantra Touring and the Mazda 3. This car is not in either of these cars league.

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.
Caliber Heat 2.0 CVT

2010 Dodge Caliber Heat 4dr Wagon (2.0L 4cyl 5M)

Mine's a CVT, but "5-speed manual" was all that was listed. Handles great, fantastic brakes, but no power. Comfortable & rides nice, but lots of wind noise. Dealer's had to reattach shielding inside both front wheel wells 3 times so far & it's loose again right now. My main complaint is the mileage. Again, mine has the CVT transmission & the 2.0 motor. I drive 4 blocks from my home to the the 4-lane interstate every morning. I then drive 22 miles on the interstate with the cruise control engage & exit. I then 1 mile to the front door of my employer. I do this twice a day 5 to 6 days a week. I believe all of this would be considered "highway" miles. My Dodge Caliber Heat is averaging 21 MPG!
