I've owned chevy ford and dodge. And honestly every dogs I've ever owned has been stellar. The Ford was crap the Chevy was crappier. For years Chrysler has worried more about engine and tranny quality. They've never worried about how COOL a car looks. Maybe I've been lucky but I own this caliber and I love it!
Lol..I just traded it in for a 2011 Kia Sorento. I rented one last week and I didn't realize what I was missing. The Sorento is much better than the Caliber. The engine, style and fit/finish are far better.
I believe the 3 dial climate control design has been around in Japanese cars long before this Caliber ... no matter how they make the interior feel `upscale`, it`s still a Dodge ... even Chevrolet and Ford has brought their world class compact cars to North America, time for Chrysler to step up to the game ...
That's fair, I just don't like how they put a badge on it like it's going to be fast, and then Automobile and others test it at over 10 seconds to 60.
Because it's literally a pile of trash. The "Rush" version is supposed to be fast but I timed it at over 10 seconds to 60. You can see how much I was defending it a few months back before I realize that I bought a pile of trash. The R/T verison is the same above 10's to 60.
I just purchased a 2011, after trading in my 2008 Caliber. I don't know why so many people complain and b**ch about this car (pro reviewers and general YouTube comments especially). My 2008 drove like it did when it was brand new before I traded it in with 93,000 miles on it. I see nothing wrong with the interior, mine doesn't rattle around when driving like others claim, sure it's not a Mercedes or BMW, but I'm not paying for one either. It's an affordable, reliable, stylish vehicle.

@SecularTechnology this car wasnt built for racing. its built to carry luggage and kids
beside, if you want cars with speed, you could get some faster sports cars.
just coz this car is slow, doesnt mean its absolute pile of trash, every cars are built for different purpose
