Dodge Caliber – Ron Perry’s Opinion:
Everything inside the Caliber is hard plastic, the excessive use of which cheapens the look and feel of the Caliber and our model, the R/T AWD, had a sticker just south of $24,000. Making matters worse is the lack of reasonable power. I constantly had my foot mated to the floorboard trying to pull one last horsepower, no doubt reducing the fuel economy two-fold. There are some redeeming qualities like the glovebox for keeping things cold in the dash and the fold-down speakers in the tailgate, but they don’t override the negative aspects of the Caliber.
