"We Happened on our first Caliber while looking at used cars on a lot. It was priced right for the age and mileage. Took the car for a drive and were very impressed, smooth and quiet. We bought it after doing some web research. Two weeks later we decided to try to find a 2nd one, which we did and traded our Cadillac SLS for our 2nd Caliber. I prefer the Caliber to the Cadillac. Dodge definitely put together a car with just the right level of features. It has the usual power windows, locks, mirrors, cruise, but no wasted money on power seats, power head rests, climate control, power trunk opener. Great value for the money overall."

"I bought this car over 6 months ago and I absolutely love it! The car is great on gas, especially when I have to drive to school in PA. It is extremely roomy, comfortable and reliable. Back in March I got cut off and hit a guardrail on the parkway, bounced across 3 lanes or traffic, and thanks to this car I was able to walk away from the accident with no injuries. For the price you pay you get a great car! If youre looking for a car thats safe, reliable and great of gas. this car is a great choice."

"Pros: Looks good and has good ground clearance. Cons: This thing is WORTHLESS on trade-in! NADA, KBB and Edmunds all say it's worth HALF of what I paid for it! I bought this last year! I'm $7,000 upside down on the loan and the dang thing only cost me $16,000! I can't find any dealership that wants it on thier lot as a trade-in! HORRIBLE risidual value! Other than that my only complaint with the car is that the 2.0 is low powered and gets only 22mpg."

"I bought this car after owning a Ford Focus and a Dodge Durango. It is not the fastest car in the world but its great for travling. 29-32 is what the car is recommanded to get for gas milage and I have been able hit 36-38 at times during my trips. It seems to have much more room then my 2008 Ford focus. I am over 6 feet tall and I can actualy put a car seat behind me unlike the focus. Now I am not a sporty type guy. I like my car to get me to point A to point B comfterably and at a respectable price. This does both. I drive from Mo, to MN (8 hrs) 1-2 times a month and I enjoy the trip greatly. So if your looking on buying a brand new car and not trying to spend alot this is a car to consider."

"I had this car from Enterprise while my car was in the body shop and all I can say this car sucks. The build quality is worse than the competition, this car had 2200 miles on it and the dashboard plastic started to fall apart. For an compact economy car, it has poor fuel mileage, I'm not sure if it is the CVT transmission but you have to punch it to go. The brake performance is poor with a slow reaction even with the ABS. Although the cabin is spacious and a generous cargo area its hard to justify paying $15,000 for this car in the market. The Honda Fit, Hyundai Elantra Wagon, Scion xA and xB, Nissan Versa and Toyota Matrix really make strong case what a compact wagon should be. Better quality build, good performance and fuel economy for their respected class. Then there's the Dodge Caliber of what compact shouldn't be. If they can build a competitive vehicle Dodge might have a chance. Better quality material, getting rid of the CVT and better styling could be a bonus for Dodge."
