2007 Dodge Caliber SXT review from North America
"Sporty car, yet fuel efficient"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The front suspension squeaks when you go over a speed bump or through a large dip. Took it to the dealer and fixed it for a day then they started again. It is still under warranty so still trying to figure it out.
Driver side door catches and won't shut all the way but dealership fixed with no problems.
The I Pod holder on the arm rest broke. The pin fell out on one side but still works.
General comments?
I love how sporty this car looks. The CVT is hard to get used to because it uses high RPM's then your speed catches up so it took some getting used to, but now I love it! It saves a bunch on gas I am getting 30 MPH.
It is tough to speed up fast although once you get going you can really go.
When the engine is cold it is pretty loud, but once in warms up it is really quiet.
The seats are really comfortable for long trips and the back seat is HUGE!! I haven't seen anyone squished in the back seat.
The drink cooler is really nice for bottles of water but I wish it would fit bigger bottles.
