A new compact, the Caliber replaces the Neon in Dodge’s lineup as the automaker’s entry-level model. The Caliber is available in either front- or all-wheel drive and in base SE, SXT, sport-themed R/T and high-performance SRT-4 trim levels. The standard engine is a 1.8-liter, 148-horsepower four-cylinder engine; a larger, more powerful 2.0-liter, 158-horsepower available as a step-up option. R/T versions come with a 2.4-liter, 174-horsepower four-cylinder engine, sport-tuned suspension and other upgrades. The high-performance SRT-4 has a 300-horsepower, turbocharged 2.4-liter engine with a six-speed manual gearbox, limited-slip axle and other performance upgrades. It is capable of reaching 60 mph in under six seconds and is one of the most powerful cars in its class. SE, SXT, and R/T Calibers offer either a standard five-speed manual or CVT with AutoStick manual control (R/T models). All trims get side-curtain airbags, an inflatable knee-blocker protection system for the driver, AM/FM single-disc CD stereo with auxiliary audio input jack, 15-inch wheels and rear wiper. Optionally available is a nine-speaker Boston Acoustics premium sound system with subwoofer that includes two articulating speakers packaged in the liftgate. When the liftgate is open, the speakers can swing down to face rearward for tailgating parties.

  1. Dodge Caliber 2007

    By Beatrice Gilks | Posted: Aug 10th 2008, 09:47:57 AM

    I recently purchased a 2007 Dodge Caliber SXT with appoximately 19000kms. I find the exterior and interior of this car very pleasing and I am also very impressed with the gas mileage this car is giving me.
    But I have two concerns:
    1. I find that this car gives a very rough ride
    2. Also there is a lot of road noise coming to
    the interior. Especially around the doors and windows.
    I hope this is not normal for this car and it can be corrected.
    Waiting patiently for your response concerning this matter. Thank you.

    I really like my caliber, I purchased it back in July 07 but it seems to have a defect or something because I actually have been put into 2, a used 07 caliber that I bought at 22k miles and everytime I would drive my car it would automatically shutoff on me and the dealer that sold it to me couldn't find anything wrong with it, But it kept doing so, So they put me in a brand new 07 caliber with only 6 miles and now I have reached the 28k mile mark on my caliber and it is starting to shutoff while driving, (Like my old one did) and so I am reaching out and trying to see if anyone that owns a 2007 Dodge Caliber ever had the same situation and never found a problem??? It seems to do it after the vehicle hits a certain amount of miles, I'm guessing around 22k miles or more. If any please respond back.

    I really love my Dodge Caliber. I have had my car for almost 2 years. I have never had a problem with my car at all. I have SXT sport with dohc. I have 31000 miles on my car and not 1 problem. I would also like to say 2 months after I bought my car a drunk driver hit me and there was $15,500.00 worth in damage. They paid for my car to be fixed and not totaled. I was at a dead stop and he hit me at 65 mph and you could not even tell there was that much damage. I had it fixed the exterior and interior and it is like brand new again. This car is great. I have no road noise or anything like that and it drives smooth. Matter of fact I have owned a Chevy, Ford, and Pontiac and this dodge out of all of them is the smoothest most comfortable ride we even slept in it. We put down the seats and threw some blankets down and it was comfortable. I have to say after experiencing this product I will never ever buy anything but DODGE!!!

    I am sorry to say I own a 2007 Dodge Caliber. I was in a situation where I needed a car quickly and thought this was a great option. I have a 2001 Sebring convertible and LOVE IT! But the Caliber is the greatest let down of my automotive owning experience! First off, the dealer never told me that Cruise Control is an option and mine does not have it. Are you kidding me? How can you offer a car with power windows, locks, AC, anti-lock brakes and other power options and not have that? The Caliber also lacks any sound insulation. I have to blast the stereo whenever I go over 25 mph! Then when I stop, I am blasted by the stereo. I hear, quite clearly, every little bump & crack in the road as if I were driving over speed bumps. There are also so many little whistling sounds mostly from - are you ready? - the Rocker panels! It took me several days to finally locate where these were coming from, but I did.
    I would not reccomend this car to people I hate! The only redeeming quality of this car is it gets ok mpg's and the steel blue is a nice color. Other than that, the Caliber miss-fired!!!!

    I have a 2007 dodge caliber, it reached the 60,000km recently and unfortunately problems started. I had to have the front axle replaced, the dealer was good enough to do this under warranty even though it was 2000km over. After this it was the control arm bushing @ 64,000,km and the dealer wasn't going to cover this one but agreed to after they told me my brakes needed work ($500) and they would do the bushing IF i got my brakes done there. I also agree with the road noise in the car and the whisling, drives you crazy!

    I bought a Caliber R/T in June 2007. I have since had my bushings replaced, bearings, control arm, suspension, and it is currently in the shop for a new drve shaft. The tires also make my car sound like a heliocopter and I was told then need to be replaced. (I havent even hit 30,000 miles) I have had no support from the dodge dealership. I can not wait to get rid of it. I owe $17,000 and its only worth 10.
