Dodge Caliber??

[Ryan_V]

The wife looked at a Caliber today and liked it. Are there any known issues with these?? It's an '07 with 80k on it. How about the 4 cyl engine?? I thought we should get an impala or something similar, but she seems to like this thing. It is a fun little car!!

That vehicle was manufactured as the manufacturer was heading into bankruptcy. Do you think quality, dependability, or reliability where high on the manufacturers list as they where putting all the pieces together to get the manufacturing process started?

Do yourself a favor and stay away from the later model Dodge and Chevrolete's Your going to save your wallet and your sanity!

I have had a theory that the caliber shares the same chassis as the jeep compass. I have not had the two in the shop in the relative same time to confirm but you may want to search opinions for both vehicles since the problems will likely be the same. I'm pretty sure the rampage and the liberty are the same. The liberty have been a pretty decent little vehicle with little problems that we have run into. The do suck for fuel economy!

Someone told me when they first came out it took on the chasis of the neon that isn't being made anymore.

The seats are horrid and in terms of sporty and fuel economy you could do a lot better. My back still hurts when I think about all the hours I have spent in one of those darn cars.

They have not received good reviews online either. We now have our eye on a pontiac G6. sharp car!!! I think that one will be more solid!!

I know the 4 cylinders have issues with the Cam position actuator solenoids. My cousin has one and she talks to me about once a month trying to figure out what is wrong with it.

The G6. I'll give you 30 seconds with my cousin and you will never consider one!

What about looking at Ford Focus? I too was considering a Caliber or a Ford Focus before I was layed off. Now I will have to reconsider the Caliber whenever I get employed again.

Have you looked at the new Cruze ? It seems top be a decent car.

[Ryan_V]

New isn't an option.looking at good used

Look at the Vibe if your going after a little hatchback 5 door. Its basically a Toyota Matrix but since its technically a discontinued GM they are usually quite a bit cheaper. Plus you can get it in almost fun configuration with the 2zz motor and AWD.

I have nothing bad to say about the Vibe!
