2008 Dodge Caliber Review:
It's good car, just not all it was meant to be. And owners have to deal with problems earlier than they think they will, like after 2yrs you're going broke!!!

Pros: What do you like about 2008 Dodge Caliber?
I don't know what the "experts" find so wrong.. My wife and I love our Caliber. Great room for it's size, 27 mpg around town, good design,just as many blind spots as the Lexus 550. Seems solid, we love it.. Just got a bad rap. We also have a Nissan Altima 3.5 SL and still enjoy driving the caliber.
Cons: How would you improve 2008 Dodge Caliber?
Jazz up the interior.. Larger fuel tank...

Pros: What do you like about 2008 Dodge Caliber?
Best bang for the buck. I don't even fell like I downsized from my Jeep Cherokee. Fun and easy to drive even without the power and luxury of the Jeep.
Cons: How would you improve 2008 Dodge Caliber?
Bit more power and gas mileage eventhough it's acceptable with high gas prices.
2008 Dodge Caliber Review:
Really thoughtful accessories with great design. Fun to drive (just drove from Los Angeles to Las Vegas and back)and handles inclines fine. Power is okay for a 4 cyl (2.0 eng) with no problem getting on freeway and hitting speed limit pretty quickly. I am not at all disappointed coming from an 8 cyl luxurious $40,000 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited. It's kind of refreshing.
As far as longevity goes only time will tell but after 2 months I'm still happy... especially for the price tag and much better gas mileage than I was accustomed to.

Pros: What do you like about 2008 Dodge Caliber?
I love the interior of the car and the guages.
Cons: How would you improve 2008 Dodge Caliber?
I would lower the ride height a little bit. I think the OEM ride height for the SXT class is too high.
2008 Dodge Caliber Review:
I think the Dodge Caliber is a very versatile car and has many special qualities that should be shared with different car manufacturers.
