Have had a 2007 Dodge Calibre just under a year and still love it. First noticed Dodge because of their gutsy names: Calibre, Avenger, Nitro etc. no wimpy names there & Chryslers are the same & what about their styling in your face, modern, streamline but at the same time they all have this retro almost tongue in cheek feel going on. Dodge, Chrysler & Jeep are all stand outs & do turn heads. The all over design, branding & presentation of these cars was a innovative master-stroke in the car market today. Now to the interior, again they’ve come up with goods. The unique (even a little quirky), but at the same time very classy & practical styling grabs you immediately, makes many other cars seem a bit ho hum. But it’s not just all about the looks, it’s extremely comfortable, great safety rating, heaps of power & a delight to drive. And guess what the plastic bits are easy to clean. I think many people who are negative about these cars would not have even sat in one. But I got to say if you don’t like this car (& all the range) I’m sorry but I think you might be a little bit boring, time to smell the roses & take another (closer) look. Needless to say I’m wrapped. Anyway got to go, hmmmm, think I might go for drive. Cheers

Hey forum, I just spent the weekend away in Victor Harbor for schoolies (from Adelaide). Drove the 2007 dodge caliber(yanks can’t spell calibre*) ST model there and back. Nothing felt better than being seen cruising through the middle of victor in a beastly looking car….
Nothing felt worse than driving through victor in this beastly looking car…, as far as petrol goes, economic is the word, but going from 80-100kmph felt like a catapilar.
I love the car, just bought one for $10,000 with 60,000 under the bonnet. But if performance is what you’re looking for – I’m talking a ‘hoon-mobile’. turn away, this is not the car for you.
PS: THE PLASTIC ONLY STARTED BOTHERING ME WHEN I READ THIS!!!!

Well, finally did sell my Caliber as I went overseas for a while. When I returned I found the Caliber had jumped $6000 in price so I opted for a Hyundai Tucson City. It saved me $5k and is a much bigger SUV. Love it.

Saw a Caliber with 19″ wheels the other day, obvious question, why not 20″….lol

The dealer said it was still street legal with the 19″ wheels as they were only 2″ off standard. So insurance still covers.

If you all are wondering what we “americans” are thinking about the Dodge Caliber it is simply this – baby muscle car. The old muscle cars were the tough looking camaros, cudas, mustangs, etc. This is a smaller version of the tough looking old style muscle cars. I have had mine for over a year and would not trade it for anything. Absolutely no problems whatsoever with it – NONE.

One point to remember about this car. You may never want to drive anything else again. Only other Dodge’s now appeal to me like the NITRO and Avenger.

PS: I’ve now come to this conclusion- If you can’t drive a Dodge, Dodge a Ford.

Well, had my Caliber for over 20 months now and still no problems. Have travelled 36,000 km’s in it, which is about once around the planet. I still love the aggressive look of it and so do other motorists. As soon as the 2010 model Caliber hits the showroon floors next year I am buying another one.
